    Austin - but if I had no financial worries, than probably somewhere in Switzerland.

    yeah, I was going to mention Switzerland (Bern...Geneva...or a small town like Leysin / montrouex) . Of all the places I've lived, that was my favorite location.

    Right now probably Santa Cruz or San Diego. I want to be close to good surf in area with enough population density to support a robust Ultimate community. Neither of these is out of the question. I'm currently living just outside of Sacramento and I work from home. My wife is a nurse educator with a pharmaceutical company and travels a lot for work. Her territory currently includes Santa Cruz. We're actively talking about making the move to Santa Cruz and then maybe a few years down the road moving to San Diego, if she can get a job with Southern California as her territory.

    Why is everyone voting Boston?

    I've been here for work for the past three weeks (and am currently here now), and while it's certainly a fine town, there's nothing about it that would make me want to pack up and move here.

    What am I missing?

    Boston is a great town if you are a college student, but other than that I wouldn't want to live there longer term.

    I used to live in Boston a few years ago and they easily have the rudest drivers in America.

    New York City (Manhattan)

    Seattle
    San Diego
    Amsterdam
    London
    Tokyo
    Austin
    Vancouver
    Sydney
    Rome
    Florence

    Some of those are really good vacation spots, so I don't really know how I'd feel living there, but I'd certainly be open to it.

    The time zone matters to me. I want to be able to watch my teams.

    I love living in CO. I've lived in Boulder, Vail, and Denver (currently) over the past few years. Not much more I could ask for

    As for other cities. I definitely wouldn't mind living in SF or Seattle, I enjoy both of those places a lot. Probably wouldn't want to ever live on the east coast or midwest
