I'm a city person, so I'm currently eyeing Amsterdam. It's not exactly cheap, but still a lot better than the Bay, plus it has a lot of the things I'm looking for - a working transportation system, social cohesion and a generally socially liberal attitude (this was the one thing the Bay Area does better than a lot of Europe!)
