I would actually like to move to a place with four seasons. Over here, it's pretty much summer all year round. Anyway, isn't the US sort of difficult to get into these days? I've noticed quite a few HNers complaining about that.

I have no idea how hard it is to get into. My mother got here by marrying my father, eons ago. I was born here. I am only talking about America because it is what I know the most about. I have lived in Germany, a long time ago. I have lived a number of places in the US: Georgia, Texas, Kansas, Washington (state, not DC), and both Southern and Northern California. I also have driven through quite a lot of the US and was hoping to pursue a career in urban planning before life sidetracked that goal. So I have taken classes related somewhat to city planning stuff and spent time on an urban planning discussion board. I also am not happy with where I am currently living and hope to move at some point. Some of the resources I use for assessing potential places to move: bestplaces.net http://scorecard.org/ http://www.city-data.com/ websites for some of the restaurants and grocery stores I like google maps weather.com Some of my criteria: cleaner air than where I currently live more walkable, transit-oriented community than where I currently live ~50,000 -- 100,000 population city within about 2.5 hours of a major metropolis cost of living similar to here or cheaper some must-have amenities (in terms of food mostly) No or low state taxes At the moment, I am considering moving to Cheyenne Wyoming -- assuming some miracle or twelve makes it possible for me to leave here and go someplace of my choosing. I was considering Port Aransas Texas at one time but the opportunity never came up and that notion has since died. Good luck with this.
