Default What Country Other than USA would you rather live in?

United States is a failure. Game over. Pick some other country to live in.



I'll choose Denmark or Sweden. I have distant relatives in Sweden... but I like Danish Television more.

Welp. I guess this is the best it gets, and I'm still depressed.

I would be happy in Canadia too, especially West Coast. I have family in Vancouver and they will give us a place to stay if we have to flee the US.

Probably Canada, but somewhere with the mildest winters. If language wasn't a barrier, maybe Italy.

Most of Canada is literally void. I don't think anybody's even mapped it out. Those shapes you see on maps and in atlases are just guesses because nobody can be bothered to venture further north than Edmonton to actually check.

Oil companies have mapped every millimeter of it

Love this US-Centric question

I’m in New Zealand so maybe I should pick a place to live, in the U.S.

I’ve never been to Maryland…but when I read Homecoming as a kid I thought Annapolis sounded nice.

I've never met someone who wanted to move to Annapolis.

One of the biggest problems in Annapolis is violent crimes, as the city has the eighth-highest violent crime rate in the state. The cost of living is also considering that this Baltimore suburb is considered an undesirable area, which is because of its proximity to the city and the positive features of Annapolis. Some of these ******* above-average schools, activities for people of all ages, and decent job opportunities. Annapolis has a population of 39,147.

My old neighborhood is on that list too, supposedly because of violent crime. When we left our neighborhood (Riverdale) it was undergoing rapid gentrification

Oh that sounds terrible then

I don’t know. I haven’t been many places in the U.S.

From the places I have been…I guess the Upper West Side was nice. That’s probably very violent crime-y as well

Is there anywhere with less violent crime?

So... no. Not Connecticut


Actually, California has the lowest rate of gun deaths. Because it has the strictest gun laws

ermmm... nope. Connecticut would be a good one. Among the lowest rates of gun deaths

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/pressroom/s...ty/firearm.htm

New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts all among the lowest.

My suggestion would be rural Western Washington. Low firearms death. No state income tax. And you could live in the town where they filmed the Twilight Series... which is only 2 hours from Seattle in case you need a quick dose of urbanism. Or you could go east a bit and live in the towns were they filmed Twin Peaks or Northern Exposure

I've lived in rural Washington and do not recommend it. But I guess it's cool if you like apples and Republicans

Connecticut is expensive as fuck, but I'd live somewhere like that if I could afford it. Or in New Zealand, pretty sure your gun deaths are lower than even the quietest state.

Finland or Norway. I'm 25% Finnish and 40% Scandinavian, so there's a decent chance one of them would take me. Could possibly hit up one of my 50,000 -onnen relatives and see if they'll vouch for me not being a typical uninformed brainwashed American.

For real though most Euro countries would be sweet. The Netherlands would be up there with the first two if not better.

No UK though, they kind of seem like America-Lite

No income tax sounds nice, or you could live in a state with a $10 billion surplus that wants oh so badly to be one of those Northern Euro utopias but gets held back by the folks who think the Earth is 4,000 years old

my dream is Oregon, Washington secede from The USA and we get our own country of Cascadia.

Cascadia is supposed to ******* BC as well, but no way would they leave Canada?

We want to eventually move out of the city and live in rural Washington or Oregon. I would stay away from the East half of both states, though.

Assumed this thread was started today in light of the whole Roe v Wade thing - but nah, nope - it was made before that major change in norms.
