Fun Poll: "If I couldn't live in the U.S., I'd want to move to ____"

Australia
Italy
France
Germany

not mentioned in the poll, but Thailand...i got family in these countries...not a bad place to live...

 

If I couldn't live in the US for some reason, I assume I'd want to move to somewhere with a weak extradition policy.

 

australia-reminds me the most of texas and the US.

 

Scotland without doubt

 

Well, 90 would be cheap.

With the latest prices -on cheap gas- it cost me ~140 USD to fill up the 550...

 

i voted for australia.

 

???? No income tax ?

That's monaco.

Switzerland has very low tax on wealth, but income is quite high.

 

Yeah, you have to. Though most of it is spent waiting every 5 meters at an -always- red light

 

brazil for hot chicks

 

My 2 cents:

Lived on England (Near Oxford) for 2-3 years while working for Williams Grand Prix

Good points:

1.) Quaint and pretty.
2.) When the weather is good-then it can be nice.
3.) London is the best city in the world-period.
4.) Taxes were not as bad as I had expected. (Much closer to US than EU)
5.) Great heritage/sightseeing.
6.) People, mostly, are friendly.

Bad points:
1.) Weather.
2.) WEATHER
3.) Cost of living-very bloody high. 60-80% over USA, housing cost 200-250 % of US costs
4.) People a bit reserved at first-but then they are okay.

England would be a good place-just make sure you have a bit of money to back up your lifestyle.

Canada--(Where I am now a bunch)

Sorry folks-I do not like Canada--

Taxes way too high and just getting worse.
People are very anti-american--quite bad actually.
Gov policy on most things is quite bizarre--
Country is being overun by immigration. That in itself is not bad, but it seems to be gov policy to encourage each ethnic/geographical group to not integrate into the greater society. So what you have is the "balkanization" of Canada. This town is 100% Chinese, this town is 100% Indian, etc. In Ontario, the gov was actually seriously considering allowing the local Muslim population to enforce "Sharia" law on its own populace, in place of/along side of Canadian law!! Insane!
And of course, the weather!

South of France-

Now this is more like it--Not necessarily the coastline, which is too expensive and too overdeveloped but inland 10-20 miles, up in the hills near Paul Ricard.
Beautiful land, cost of living lower, people are actually very friendly to yanks, housing costs are not bad. Yea-maybe there would be alright.

 

Mexico, baja pennisula....Beautiful waterfront real estate there for very cheap...still close to the U.S.

 

Canada - Already live there though, perhaps move out to Tofino and surf

Australia - Never been there, always wanted to see Koala Bears and Kangroos

 

Great White North, eh?

 

Germany.

Good beer, good food, autobahn.

 

Italy
Switzerland
England
Spain
Australia

The US has some nice spots, just not a fan of american culture and politics. dont like the whole melting pot issue. great place to make money, less so to raise a family unless youre already wealthy.

 

curacao.

10 in rainfall a yr.

dutch possession. no threat of secession

100% updated medical care.

beaches. sun.

they cut tax breaks if you retire there, buy a house and employ a local as housekeeper.

what i don't like is the numbers of columbians comig through. the inevitable will happen.

 

International Waters. I'm tired of tax happy idiots in the United States.

Sell everything off, open a Swiss bank account, buy a Feadship and live on it. Then Hire a crew and hire the boat out. Set sail around the world to various locations. Nice places to visit, but I wouldn't want to stay there.

 

Aruba

 

Cape town or Nelspruit South Africa for me!

 

I would have to say England. Home of Manchester United, Carl Fogarty, and Katie Price. Need I say more?

 

Costa Rica...I've got my reasons
