I'm good in Cali, man. Enjoying the sunshine and bitching anytime it gets below 60F. And I don't really have any desire to live outside of at least a moderately sized city, or at least on the outskirts of one.

If I ever do uproot though, I'm moving to either southwestern Canada or either Norway or Sweden. That's only in the "America is too fucked up, I can't take it anymore" scenario.

Cnat decide.

Changes from small house by a lake,to European villa to high rise cyberpunk apartment in a city.

A small one room cabin in the middle of bumfuck, nowhere. As far away from the gilded cage that is society as I can get.

>>2462829

this is pretty close to my thinking (OP). i don't hate society as much as i simply value my solitude, however. i do still want to maintain connections (in moderation), i just want to keep one hand on the cord, you know?

I want to go to Portland, because I like biking and I think I would have no problem finding the art community there in my line of work. And fucking mountains man, fuck I love em.

>>2462829

10 years find me.

i live in austin now, and I want to for the rest of my life. it's amazing here in my opinion. i'd like a condo overlooking the river and with a great view of downtown, but not too near a busy street or traffic. and being a successful psychologist.
once I get enough money, I want to have a house in hawaii. because you're either really rich or really poor in hawaii. no middle ground.

>bitching anytime it gets below 60F (15.5C)

i put on cold weather clothes if it gets below 25C (77F).
i am NOT joking.

>>2462885

Portland is pretty cool. You better get a house fast though, hipsters are moving in and jacking up all the prices.

I don't hate hipsters, but they do tend to drive up the cost of a decent house...

>>2462885

I want to live in Portland too. I don't really know why, seeing as I have never been there, much less left the east coast. It just sounds like a lovely place.

>>2462925
>>2462787
pussies, its still sweatshirt weather until its -10*F

I will live in a place full of thinkers. I will learn. I will live in a pleasant enough climate that I can regularly exercise in. I don't care so much about anything else, I just want to GROOOW.

>>2462970

yes. this is exactly how i think. this is also exactly how anyone that is going to college in the near future thinks.

>>2463000
Oh snap. I get to go to college!

>>2463014

that was just a converse, not an inverse or contrapositive. you might not be going to college, i don't know. if you're not, just move into a college town with a large student population and leech off the students and the library.

You want to move TO this shit?

Fucking Sweden.

I live in Finland and it's damn cold here. And I fucking HATE cold with a passion. I wish I was somewhere warm instead of this snowy paradise. Though I do love Finland during summers as it is very warm and nice. Atleast it is when it's not raining 24/7.

In San Diego right now, and there is no place like San Diego. A city where even when the government fucks everything up can still keep kicking. This city is just great.

>>2463078
looks beautiful
bloomtocks

the grass is always greener, blah blah blah

I'd much prefer a small cabin looking over a lake by a mountain side. That's my idea of paradise.

However, I'm stuck here in cold shitty Brooklyn. Seriously, I fucking hate New York with a passion.

>>2463179

It's effin' cold is what it is. And at this time of year, that picture could well have been taken in the middle of the day.

i'm in baltimore. if you can get past all the useless, stupid niggers trying to destroy your property and way of life, it's got a nice cultural base, fun attractions, and some very cool people. everyone knows everyone (if youre in a particular generic group) and it's hard to go anywhere and not find friends.

I'm staying, but I wish people would stop moving to california... :(

I also want to build my own house. Though I don't want to buy the land... or have contact with outside people... Sorry.

Build a log cabin yourself. Just go somewhere a little warmer with some more woods.

>>2463078
It seems the our moontalking western neighbours have the same problem as we do. Is it any wonder that Finland is in the top of suicide charts when compared to population. It's friggin dark, cold and depressing almost all year around.

i'd much prefer somewhere with green grass and trees.

the fucking moon is cold

Uh... nice topic :)
I don't really know, just like >>2462827
But OP's place reminds me of a place in my country, Gorski Kotar in Croatia. It's realistic for me... close, low prices, nature mostly untouched (it's a shithole country, except for nature, that is beautiful).

>>2463196

people from New York hate everything, even themselves

I'd like to make decent money without working very much and I know how to do it. I'll probably spend the next few years living a strange and risky lifestyle while building capital then travel the world for a couple of years. Probably going to come back and start looking to settle down though I might end up staying in another country. Who knows what I might find in my travels?

After some shopping around, I found a nice lot in Thetford, VT, which is about 26 minutes from the library. It's plenty wooded, and a creek runs along the back:

fhpg=1&lid=1104253566&lsn=79

2.5 acres is not a lot of land for $100,000, though.

bump, because this thread is kind of cool.
>>2463401

this place looks really pretty, but I think that Croatian would be a difficult language to learn.

>>2463401
Croatia is an amazing place to visit.

I went to the town of Corcula (fuck i don't know how to spell it) on some random island and it was great.

I'd love to own an island there and have wild bears and pathers roaming around outside to keep tourists off.

The pic says it. I want a nearly self sustained house that recycles most waste, can collect water, has solar panels and a couple windmills for energy, needs little to no heating/cooling and tons of greenery. I'd prefer it to be outside of the Seattle/Tacoma area, within an hours drive of them and close to the mountains.

>>2464439
Nice hobbit house.

>>2464439

how would you make money?

would you?

OP, go to IRC, undernet, #bookz (AMAZING place to get ebooks, btw) and talk to a guy named gomez-mp3

he retired in his 20s and spends his days fishing and reading books alone in maine.

>>2464769

That sounds like something that I'd like to do. I may go and check out the IRC, but how did he do it?

>>2464826

P.S. i am the OP.

>>2464769

Not the OP, but I am very interested in hearing about this guy. Do tell.

>>2464439

You'd get a job is how.

And if the house makes extra electricity you can sell that to electric companies. Or so I've heard...

>>2465060

Meant to reply to >>2464742

I'll take my fail ticket now please.

In a beautiful, two story house, in CT, by my parents. Preferably we'd have a couple of acres of land so that I might be able to have a tiny barn with a horse, and a small riding ring/pasture. (Horse girl here.) With my significant other. Lots of trees.

>>2465498
Holy shit, are you my friend from working with little ones in SA? Because if so, I am with your SO atm, visiting for christmas and New Years..

My home is already ideal. Nearly tropic, no winters or snow but I love to travel, full of kind people, not yet too urbanized, riddled with hidden treasures. An acre or two of my grandfather's land to turn into a sustainable garden for myself and my family.

>>2465658

No, I have no idea what "little ones... in SA" is talking about. I'm just a college student.

I don't have friends. haha

Someplace south where it doesn't snow or get really fucking cold

Maybe in this house. I do like it.
End up staring every time I pass by there.

>>2466689

where is that?

i don't blame you for wanting it.

Personally, I enjoy somewhat colder temperatures and I absolutely adore rain. If I couldn't live somewhere rainy (Seattle or Vancouver or some shit), I would want to live in some kind of establishment with water around. Not like living on a lake, but similar to http://whatwedoissecret.org/madebyblog/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/Poseidon-Underwater-Hotel.jpg.

Or perhaps similar to the pic I have here. All I know is that there must be water somehow. I love it.

I wish people would build underground more. That's where I want to live.

Anywhere besides where i live right now. Its minus 47 degrees celsius right now, cant even function in that weather.

>>2462672
You from the area?

mootcox.

>>2468816
We'll call it rapture and have it 1950's themed.

>>2468816
I love living the Pacific NW (Everettfag). Just wish I could find a better place to live till I'm done with school.

Lakeside house, two stores, self suffient what comes to water and electricity.
The house's second store's one wall would be all window, towards the lake. And it would also be towards south, to get maximum sunshine.

Also, neighbors wouldn't be a stress, but still nearset city (well, actually just some supermarket) would be less than 10km away.

And weather would be similar to Canada or Finland. With nice summers and snowy winters (if we get any of those anymore...)

That's my dream house.

I think the Holland countryside would be my ideal place. I would like a windmill and rollings hill on my land.

I want to live in my friend's stepdad's house in Tennessee. It's three floors, about ten years old...there's a pool table and a lot of wine and faded pictures he developed himself and rustic-looking wood and zebra print and leather shit everywhere. And there's a pool, and a pond, and a helipad (nothing on it), and 20 acres of beautiful misty pastures. I want to become richer than him and buy that.

>>2468956
No hills in the Netherlands buddy, unless you want to go all the way south in which case it isn't Holland anymore.

I'd love to live in an underground house in Canada. Canada has similar weather to home and it rocks. Either that or a penthouse in Tokyo...

I want to live around here (Oregon.) I just want my own place with my gf and a lifestyle that allows us to have a child or two and maybe a disposable income. Nothing fancy like cars and the like. I'd be happy with an apartment, and one car so long as we could have money to eat, game and love.

Portland, Oregon. 'Nuff said.

>>2469011
Cool shit, I live in the metro area. You live around here or just want to? It's a nice place, but life isn't cheap the closer you get to Portland. I'm out in Sherwood right now and I hate it.

>>2463877
Protip, if there's no one around, what "your land" is doesn't really matter. Just don't build on it.

>>2468976

I just wanted the legal drugs and a windmill. The hills would be Heidi-esque.

Holy shit guys. I live by Portland. Why do you want to live here so much? I don't understand what's so appealing.

Stuck in backwards ass Memphis, so, any bustling metropolitan area with a more diverse population of people (read: NOT in the South) not in the south that is both walkable and with adequate mass transit; as opposed to the metro area here that is gradually decaying because of ignorant assholes, dumb city management, and the shithole that is suburbia.

>>2469228
Also, I did accidentally put "not in the south" twice, but that can't be fucking stressed enough. I've lived here almost all my life and I'm tired of this shit.

I'm going to move to Hong Kong. I want to live in an apartment and relax most of the day. I don't plan on marrying.

>>2462672
Sounds close enough to my dream place.

>>2462672
fuck off flatlander

I want to live in a nice apartment in the upscale part of a very large city. New York, London, Tokyo, Hong Kong, you get the idea.

Also, it has to snow in winter.

Toronto, somewhere near downtown.
Moved from it 6 months ago, to the middle of nowhere in Canada (sask now).
Toronto has pretty much everything I'll need, I'll go on vacation if I wanna see a place.

I'd live in the desert (southwest US) if there were more (sensible, wierd, interesting, faggot) people there. I need auto junkyards, cafe lattes, internet access, internet cafes, random and extreme cultures, plants and animals. Lucky for me I have nearly all that right here in Los Angeles. Not shown in pic is my lot full of old cars. Yay for old cars! Animals: besides our two dogs,living out of doors are: squirrel family, rat family (small tree rats), bluejays (they commune w/the rats, seriously, something odd is going on there), moles, and soon, chickens. Plus a tank of fish outside. LA rules.

Modest house in a suburban town, family of four, hopefully I'll be a math teacher with a sweet union, I'm thinking I'd like to live in the Indiana suburbs of Chicago. Or maybe southern Ontario, Canada might be nice

>>2469936
Looking into Hong Kong now, and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hong_Kong_Broadband_Network_Limited

holy shit 1 Gbps symmetric consumer broadband!

I want to build a tower somewhere remote in scandinavia/russia. It would be circular, constructed entirely from stone. A continuous spiraling ramp would go around the wall to go between floors. There would be four floors above ground, and two below. The ground floor would have the main firepit, and also the kitchen. The first basement would be general storage, the second basement would be food storage. The second floor would be a general area, the third floor a study, and the fourth floor a bedroom.

>>2462787
Where I live, we don't even consider putting on pants/hoodies unless its below 20F

>>2470226
My parents seriously considered moving into a heavily modified silo before I was born. It would've had 5 floors, with the top most floor being a study/observation room. It would have had a spiral stair case going all the way i the middle, it would have been dope. But then they decided to have me and they moved into a house :/

>>2470226

Well god knows we've got plenty of abandoned, isolated shit in Scandinavia (and Russia)

Here's one near the top of a hill, in the forest (it's all forest) and relatively remote. Former mine.

At the moment this one's taken though. Rented out to some hobbyists.

Out in the middle of nowhere but still within driving distance of a major city, close enough to visit the city at least once a week.

Was looking at Lapland, possibly the outskirts of Rovaniemi. Of course I would not settle down so drastically for decades, after I retire.

SPAIN. That place is kickass

>>2470354

Rovaniemi is damn central now that Haparanda is getting an IKEA. It's not even 100 km away which is nothing by Lapland standards.

But you don't really have to go that far for isolation. Anything from Dalarna and farther north (in Sweden) has huge swaths of .. nothing. Forest. Maybe a village here or there.

Some areas there people were still using runes to write in the 19th century. That's what you call a backwater.

Wow what's up with all the isolationists here?

I would like to live on a self sustainable farm surrounded by forest with some sort of water nearby/on my property. Smallish house, wood cabin style preferably. Somewhere that looks like Vermont but with less shitty winters. I will grow weed and ride horses and have a lumberjack for a partner and will fuck him all day when not doing chores.

i'd love to try living in an apartment in a city for a while. a place with good music and art scenes, with tons of places to go. i've lived in the suburbs all my life and a city would be awesome.

where i want to settle down would be near the desert in the american southwest. i say near so that cities/towns would still be accessible, not sure if i could handle complete solitude. i think it's beautiful out there, plus i'm not one for the cold.

I want to move to China. I'm happy with my life, I just want to see what it'd be like somewhere with different cultures/traditions/language etc.

>>2470394

I'd call it more awesome than backwater.

I love pine forests.

Alone in a decent apartment. Location isn't too important, but I'd prefer somewhere quiet with ready access to shopping facilities.
