where would you like to live if you didnt live where you are now?

I'm content where I'm at. It's cheap, and inland, so not prone to hurricanes. If I had to move, I'd pick Chicago. I've never lived in a big city. I live in a small city, so we're a mismash of rural and urban problems. I just want to try a large city. I've been late to work because there are cows on the road.

It's always been my dream to live in a cozy little cabin in the woods preferably near a lake or river, but there's a part of me that kinda wants to move into a nice little apartment in a city for a bit.

I want to live inside of a massive video rental outlet like they had back in the 80’s/90’s. Go to work during the day, then come back every night to watch everything in the Horror section over time. Just give me a cot in a back office, I can live with that.
 
Inside some bushes waiting for someone to come along so I can jump them and tell them all about what lolcows are and that they should be careful about doing stupid shit online cause that stuff never goes away.
Nah but, I think moving into the ocean sounds nice, always having to swim and eventually becoming super buff cause I heard that's a thing and then living a more healthy life from here on out would be nice.

I want to live somewhere either so remote or so culturally apathetic that if I went completely insane they would neither care nor even particularly notice. So like, Africa, maybe. It would be nice to be able to just not give a single fuck about anything when I get old. Sleep in the jungle, eat fruit.
 
I would unironically like to live in Fargo, or Minnesota, somewhere that's cold all year round, heavy snow, blizzards and shit. Heat and warmth can go fuck themselves.
 
Six feet under, right where I belong.

...You think Minnesota is cold all year round? Hooboy. I have it on good authority that MN summers are nigh-on unbearable and have a tendency to turn into indian summers.

I've actually considered New Zealand in the past but LOL FUCK THAT SHIT NOW. To be honest I'm tired of uprooting myself and moving around. Would have to be a really good reason for me to do that again, regardless of how green the grass was over there.
 
I notice a lot of us want peace & quiet. Rural towns, wooded hideaways.

I think there's a lot of "Rural Escapism" at play in the minds of our generation(s) for good reason. We're lashed to the noise and the spectacle of modern tech with no escape in sight - for as much as we enjoy its fruits it feels somehow wrong deep down to a lot of us. IMO the raw unfamiliarity of the world is responsible for the wave of anxiety and dread that seems to define us.
I suspect a lot of this has to do with us being the first generations in human history to experience technology & connectivity on the level we have. In a sense, we're all pioneers as we're charged with forming new survival strategies in the face of all this new tech. There's no blueprint for what we're doing and our species will expand upon the work we've done for thousands of years to come. The 'uncomfortability' of it all will probably drop off over time as successive generations adapt. They always do.
That still leaves us as the odd ones out, the first to have crossed that rubicon. We got thrust into all this. To quote my boi Terrence: "Every time a culture gets itself into trouble it casts itself back, to the last sane moment it ever knew." For us, that moment is pastoral idyll.

Rural ain't all it's cracked up to be, really. Has some nice aspects, but has a ton of pretty notable downsides/caveats.

I want to live in a cottage covered in climbing sweet peas made of brick, with loft space and a chimmney, in the middle of a mountain range so remote that you have to pay for dial-up internet. There's thick woods on all sides of my house and the only way to it is a mostly hidden dirt path marked with "do not enter". There will be a birdhouse and wildflowers, and 5 different tea kettles. I'll own three vicious dogs who'll fuck up anyone who comes in without me asking them to and an array of rifles, shotguns, and handguns, for deer and for mountain meth heads. And a moose head on my wall.
 
Anywhere other than this shithole of a country. Seriously, I'd do anything for a one-way ticket to somewhere cheap in Asia or Eastern Europe. Fuck, I'll take Denmark even.
