Having lived in Vegas, if you're judging the whole of the state by just looking at Clark county, you're missing things. Clark county is where all the Californians who have soiled their nest have moved to.

I like where I live, and I've liked where I've lived.

Why do I hate the town I live in?

It's flat, The buildings all have Pidgeon Spikes on them, the only good fences and things to climb up are all private property and I'd be arrested for it.

Try Parkour here... You're either in a cell, in court paying a fine or in hospital with a pidgeon spike through your foot and a lot of bruises from a 20ft drop... Fun. I hate this town, gimme the high rises of New York or Urban cityscape any day!

Where I live (a small city in Massachusetts) is OK, despite the weather. And if you want some snow, Germonica, you are more than welcome to some of ours. All of ours, in fact (except on skiing mountains.) I think I speak for many if not most of my fellow Bay Staters on this one.

I live in Dallas, Oregon. I hate it here. Small town, nothing to do, and living with my ex husband still. This town sucks.

But I love Oregon in general and wouldn't live anywhere else.

Seriously you can move around the world with ease. If you dont like your city leave it. Its not too hard. Pack your stuff and go.

If you hate where you live there are only two option in my mind.
a) you live under a dictator
b) you want to complain as you are so sad and have nothing better to do.

He sounds like a teenager. Which is more than a decade older than what you sound like.


Lol, considering I have only lived in a city for the average of 3 years I find moving very easy. The least I have spent somewhere is two months as it was noisy and polluted. There is no reason to dislike where you live because if you dont like it there is no reason to stay.

What I cant stand is whiners who have nothing better to do. Within a year I believe I could be living in next to every country on Earth. There are no great skills involved. All you need to do is get of your arse.

I hope that isnt too hard for you.

I live in a small (~100,000) impoverished city where there are no jobs, and there's pretty much nothing to do except drink and get high. Sigh

Meh, where I live is fine I guess, I live in the Eastside of Seattle, notorious for being smug and elitist.
Seattle itself is a nice city, I just wish I lived right in the heart of it, and not in the damn suburbs.
I don't mind the weather, considering I grew up in England I'm quite used to it.

if i lived in vagas, i could see the point. i was once in love with someone from there. and it is truly a miserable and depressing place, for anyone who isn't just visiting and is really really gullible.
but no, i don't hate any PLACE. its only humans that screw a place up anyway. and it isn't humans i think of places in terms of.
as for where i live now, there are places i'd rather live. some of which i have in the past, some i may yet in what remains of my life to be lived.
california's great central valley isn't that bad of a place in the winter. it just gets too damd hot and stays that way for too damd long in the summer.
of course this may be do to my having grown up in the sierra mountains, and having been born in buffalo new york.

i've lived in oregon and loved how the frequent rain kept everything green. even places that had been buldozed of topsoil, if left fallow for a year or so started sprouting green.
some people don't like all that much percipitation, and i made jokes about it too. about how people would think the world was going to end if the sun ever came out.
but to me, all that green was more then worth all that rain. even if i did have some kind of fungus start growing on one of my arms when i was sleeping outside for most of a year.

no. there's no place i've lived where i hated the PLACE. almost every place i've lived i've thought, and still do, the dominant culture was completely backward headed.
not the indiginous cultures that had once learned from the place how to live in it, but mundane cultures dominant there now.

i can think of other planets in other solar systems i'd rather live on too, though i'd have to have been born there to breathe their atmosphere.
truth isn't what i say. isn't what you say. isn't what anybody says. truth is what is there, when no one is saying anything.

Not thrilled with living in Swaziland; moving in five or so months. It's the political situation and the apathy that kill me. I'd like to live somewhere coastal, but that isn't going to happen in the next three years.

Are you retarded? Do you expect me to move somewhere without my parents or something? I'll have to wait like four years till college, but right now I can't, bub.

I love Puerto Rico. My town has its perks, although I wish it were more in the loop, socially speaking. My neighbourhood sucks.

Evidently, moving is significantly easier than basic reading comprehension and understanding that someone who is below the age of 18 might not be able to make that choice for themselves.

But then, it's very easy to talk shit on the Internet, and no, moving isn't all that easy. It's actually very expensive.
