A Slight modification on my last thread... places you live but hate and love and why. so tell us the places you hate so we won't have to suffer like you. If its a place you love, tell us in case we have to escape to it.

My Hateful place is: Boston, because its boring and small and has a hell of a price tag.
Survival Tip: Move to New York (Boston is almost as expensive, but NYC is worth the $$$), or if you are stuck in Boston like me, play in the snow and do drugs. i suppose it's a good music town (sometimes) so there's that.

Peoria, Arizona, heated by the horrors of a concrete paradise within a desert environment.

Think 8 month long summers with a continues heat of hotter than 40. (And if you have to ask why I think that 40 is hot, grow up and figure out that I mean celsius. I prefer to use it, regardless that everyone else in the US of A and a few African countries use it.)

I think it rather sucks living here your whole life, with continuous heat and all. And people think I'm weird because I think that anything below 25 is cold. We wear jackets below that, of course it's cold!

The romantic in me would be a small little flat in Venice Italy living as a writer! ;)

Do I hate where I live? Sometimes.....

I live in Brisbane Australia. It's probably not the most exciting place in the world to live, but it has a nice climate, relatively low cost of living and you can walk down the street and probably not get mugged.

I live in Reynoldsburg, Ohio. Bah! *shakes fist* I hate this place. This is a very republican town. Keep in mind i'm a democratic socialist, so yeah, you can understand why I hate my town. Also, the people are horrible drivers and they're unbelievably rude. Most of the population in the school are idoits and focus on only a couple things: Being cool and getting laid. The Idiocy of this town is threw the roof.

I live in Minnesota...and I hate it!

San Francisco--it's an astounding city. Plenty of great restaurants, art museums, professional sports, cool sights to see and things to do. It's also astoundingly expensive. I'm paying considerably more for a one bedroom apartment over a bar than I did for a three bedroom duplex with a two-car garage and a yard in Arkansas (the catch, of course, is that you have to live in Arkansas).

The only other real drawback--and some wouldn't call it one--is that it doesn't really get hot here. I grew up in the deep south--Louisiana--and summer just doesn't feel right without sweltering heat and humidity. Here in SF, the humidity we got--the heat we don't. It's foggy all the time and I miss the sun, I have to say, but other than that, it's an incredible place to live.

I live in New Jersey the armpit of our nation. :D Way to much $$$ to live here, too much traffic and the people are rude. (might have to include myself in that category)
Survival: Remeber how much stuff there is to do. Close to NYC, the Jersey shore points, Atlantic City, several amusement parks.

I love my little small town.

All you yankees, never satisfied with what ya got.

for the last two months (and the next 3 weeks) i live with my parents, so yes i do hate it. of course, it was a necessary transition, and i get to move to my new place really soon, but it's still a pain in the butt for now.

i lived in Boston for 4 years, and loved it; great town, you just have to know how to save them $$$. the only crappy part is that the whole bloody town shuts down at 1:30, and that's lame as hell in my opinion.

i'm moving to DC next, and something tells me i will hate it come November...

I live in Reynoldsburg, Ohio. Bah! *shakes fist* I hate this place. This is a very republican town. Keep in mind i'm a democratic socialist, so yeah, you can understand why I hate my town. Also, the people are horrible drivers and they're unbelievably rude. Most of the population in the school are idoits and focus on only a couple things: Being cool and getting laid.

Sounds like my town, although most of the population in my school is comparitively "normal" whatever "normal" really is, I don't know.

But my town is blindly Republican or at least my friends are.

My social studies teacher was very one-sidedly Republican. very

The following are her exact words to the class:

"Oh I was driving on the road and I turned on the radio and I heard President Bush was delivering a turkey to troops in Iraq so I turned around and went home so i could listen about how he delivered a turkey."

[Except from a conversation between a student and my teacher. the student was brazen enough to say Bush bought the election to my teacher]

Student: Well,you know, I think Bush wasn't really elected. He bought the election and his brother influenced the vote in Florid...

Teacher: Excuse me! What did you say? You do not talk about the president that way!
I SHOULD SEND YOU TO THE PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE FOR DISRUPTING MY CLASS!!! I AM TRYING TO TEACH A CLASS AND YOU HAVE THE NERVE TO COME TO ME AND AND SAY THIS!!! WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU!!!

Oh and my favorite: explaining the differences between Republicans and Democrats:

Republicans: support white-collared people
Democrats: support blue-colored people

Republicans support big corporations, meaning that the Republicans want to help governments.
[Here we go this is where she gets nasty]

The Democrats want big government meaning they want to tell you what to sell, how much to sell it for, and they want to come in to your store and tell you what you have to do. They don't like businesses.

The Republicans like a strong military that is ready at all times.

The DEMOCRATS Don't want to have an advanced military at all. they just want to have a mediocre army that would be upgraded and ready only when they want to.

I live in New Jersey, too. New Jersey is perfect: it has a great shore line, is not too cold in the winter nor too hot in the summer, is temperate, and compared to many other parts of the country, does not seem to suffer from natural disasters too much, except for an occasional flood and maybe a very mild tornado. No big tornado, no earthquakes, no big forest fires, no huge hurricanes (they usually die down a lot before they get to us).

The problem is its so perfect and so nice that it costs way to much money to live here, there is too much traffic, and too many people that live here in such a small area. We've the most people per square inch than any state. You have to be rude to get around because (especially in the summer) the parkway is jammed with people, and made worse by car accidents from erratic driving.

YES. La Verne. Filled to the brim with rich white stoner kids. ARGH!

Welcome to Palmdale, California.

Where green is a four-letter word and tacky concrete everything is the name of the game.

"What about Lancaster?"

Problem. Same area. And said area is culture-dead all but about ten days from the year, and anything-at-all-to-do-dead 14 hours a day (and the other ten too, if you earn less than a living wage and then some), despite a population of nearly 350 000.

"SO GET SOME SERVICES IN, YOU NINNY."

Never going to happen. Why? We're still in LA County. And the only thing that matters in LA County is LA.

We got two things to do for a living, really: aerospace and churches, and I'm a secular humanist (belief: Quit whining about God and DO SOMETHING TO BETTER YOURSELF AND YOUR FELLOW MAN ALREADY) and a left-leaning just-shy-of-libertarian looking into GIS. My reasons for my disdain of the region are left as an exercise for the reader.

Small-town California. An agricultural town filled with nothing to do and lots of fields. Many people whine about it. I say the only solution that has a chance of working is....alcohol! Lots of it.
Or moving away. First chance I get, I'm gone.

i live in florida and i love it. if you dont like where you live than move.

I live in Vancouver, British Columbia. Of course the scenery of the mountain ranges around or gorgeous and the very lushed forests are filled with beauty and plenty of things to keep myself occupied I'd rather move somewhere in the United States of America.

This is the opposite of what this thread is about but whatever. I live in Red Deer, Alberta, Canada, and there are lots of hot chicks here. I love it! :D

I like where I live....the only problem is that eventually the rest of you all will become too crowded and want to move here and ruin it for us.

I live in Danville, CA, and I'll be damned if you don't. That sounds so much like my town it's frightening. I hate it for that same sort of reason. No one here has any real opinion, they just parrot Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity. One particular student from the local high school stated that we are at war with Iraq "because they attacked us first." ... I'm sorry but that is beyond pathetic. They also have adopted the idea that anyone who disagrees with them or Bush is un-American or a terrorist.<sigh>

I also happen to notice the trend of "wiggers" around town. The wiggers are particularly hilarious. They try to act like they're poor black kids from some gettho, but they are from gated communities where a $3 million house is considered cheap. They try to act tough and strut everywhere they go, which is funny to watch because they just have to waddle to keep their pants up. Did I mention the only clothes these "poor, deprived thugs" wear are from Hollister or Abercrombie & Fitch? :headbang:

Those aren't my only reasons for hating my town, but I'll leave it at that for now. Unless you are a die-hard Republican who has no opinion except what the Conservative Media tells you, you'd do best to avoid this town.

This is the opposite of what this thread is about but whatever. I live in Red Deer, Alberta, Canada, and there are lots of hot chicks here. I love it! :D

Are there any of those are are not your sisters, cousins and any other family member? :p

Mizpe-Ramon, Israel, my favorite place in the world. I don't know why, as it's poor and isolated in the middle of a desert, but it rocks.
I hate? Rome. Just... because. It's boring and... and boring.

How dare you badmouth paradise? I am a proud resident of NJ. Perhaps you should move to one of those other states.

What part of Jersey are you from? I'm in Trenton.

Sounds like from: Malibu's most wanted.

I've been lucky, I guess. I've lived many places and liked most of them.

Some of the best:
Charlottesville, Virginia: beautiful. Just voted #1 small city in America on some poll.
San Diego, California: do I even need to say anything else? :D
Hawaii: ditto
San Fransisco: pretty nice if you don't mind high cost-of-living and completely lunatic liberals

The place that sucked the most? Los Angeles, hands down. Crowded, dirty, expensive.

I hate living here myself, but if I had a family, I'd love to live here.

Here = Lancaster, PA (with the Amish)

If you enjoy voting on key issues within you're own state move to Oregon. The people do more voting than our own legislators it feels.

For a good party town move to San Diego. If you are into civil war history and battle mark and battle field history move to Virginia.

If you want a good resort feel within a kind of boring state move to outer banks NC but watch out for that wind.

i hate my neighborhood! nothing but trouble happens.

haha... i dated someone stationed at edwards AFB... and my excitement was trips to lancaster and palmdale... I feel your pain...I feel your pain..lol

Try living in Upstate NY.. we have 3 seasons- Winter, Typhoon, Construction. And it's a drive to do anything...get on the Thruway... Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Albany, then NYC. Some people don't realize there's life outside of "the city". Living near Syracuse, means life in the snowbelt..so it's the big competition between Buffalo and Syracuse over who has more snow . Granted, I will take snow over a hurricane, tornado, or earthquake anyday. I'm starting to wonder if the change of seasons is any reason to stay here anymore... the cost of living sucks, there's no jobs, there's nothing to do.. the only positive thing right now is there's alot of cheap houses on the market and if you're a RN/LPN...they're hiring bigtime in Syracuse at some of the big hospitals...for good pay
