What are the best American cities to live in?
Long story short, I bought a comfy little cottage on a plot of land to live the chud dream a few years back and I have a nice life here but one of the things that’s really worn on me is the total lack of a professional or social life. I’m young, and I want to buy a second home somewhere I can date, socialize, where there’s entertainment convenience, etc. to get away to for a few months a year at least.
Problem is, I’m just not into anywhere anymore. Nowhere seems appealing. So I want to know where you guys like. Where should I look?

Why not list where you live to begin with or is this another "America is boring" low-tier bait thread

I’ve lived in New York and Philadelphia. In New York I thought the professional and social scene was both good and terrible. The top shelf is all there if you want it but that’s all everyone wants, working life is pure hell, and everyone you meet is the same NPC for the most part. Philadelphia was left top shelf but had more normal jobs and people. The big down side of Philly is that it’s literally overrun with blacks and their Jewish-liberal handlers who let them run amok. And if you think I’m chudding out about that too much try living there.
I’ve not lived anywhere else and I haven’t done much traveling. The only region I know I love is the mountain west but not for the cities.

You said you bought a house, where did you buy the house. For most people up and moving after getting something like a house+plot of land isn't just something you scratch off that's a pretty big investment in money and time to move on from if at all.
Where do you live NOW that you aren't happy with?

I’m not sure why that matters. It’s a small rural town in the Northeastern U.S several hours’ drive from any large city. Locals work in stuff like forestry and conservation or else the schools and local post office that open like 4 hours a day, or they’re a transplant who moved here to live out some cottagecore horse girlie fantasy. It’s a nice place, but the median age here is 50. I’m 30. There are no single young women, few single young men, and basically nothing to do if you don’t consider gardening or walking your two main hobbies. It’s nice, but it’s boring and lonely. That’s why I want a second place I can part-time in and actually have some semblance of a social life instead of being some civilization drop out wasting his life on books in his hobbit hole.

Because there is a big difference between living in Sweden, PA and Allentown, PA. Especially if what you are saying is true about owning a home, leaving that asset or selling it is going to be a chore if the median age is 50 and 'several hours drive' to a city. So are you just keeping that land and paying off taxes visiting it seasonal for upkeep or what.
>That’s why I want a second place I can part-time in and actually have some semblance of a social life instead of being some civilization drop out wasting his life on books in his hobbit hole.
Okay what's your budget, you're going to be juggling 2 homes which isn't exactly the easiest thing in the world. If you have the lifestyle where this isn't an issue what's stopping you from planning some trips to places that interest you and airbnb around those towns.
This is insane vague posting that's not useful to anyone for the question you seem to be asking.
>So I want to know where you guys like. Where should I look?
Hawaii just go live there dude. But for real if you are just one of those directionless NPC's no where is going to make you happy, maybe you're just a boring ass person. Seriously you can't post basic hobbies, interests, budget, do you intent do drive a car to see new locations, etc but hey at least we got a pol shoutout of DA JOOS AND NOGS annoyed you.

I’m not selling. This is my home. I’m just looking for a city to hang out in for a few months to a few years at a time. I have people here that can watch the house while I’m gone. I have no mortgage so it’s just the taxes and maintenance which are not really an issue. We actually do have an airport nearby so I can fly wherever and that city I mentioned is New York which is a few hours away. Budget I’m not really worried about right. I literally just want to know what cities you like. You’re saying I’m vague posting but you’re not even actually answering what I asked in the OP. What cities do you like? It’s pretty simple.

But those are some of my favorite places!
Longyear was amazing, Guam was good too, American Samoa was unique, Fargo ND is cool for northern lights when taking amtrak from DC to Seattle, Alaska is GOAT in summer.
Maybe you should define what cities are applicable to you rather than dismiss what others like

All major American cities are filled with leftist faggots and their pet nigger hordes. Have fun tipping 30% for your sysco frozen food you fucking faggot.

Hot blonde girls, Pacific Beach specifically (surfing, sunsets and tacos), it has the conveniences of what you're looking for, the jaw dropping natural beauty of California, the 'laid back' San Diego way (they loathe the Los Angelinos crowd)

most eastern us cities I have visited are very disappointing and generic
americans are afraid of color and and any sort of sophisticated architecture and design elements, esp, with anything built in the last 50 years and every city is more just rich white people suburbs and a brown-filled trap of an inner city where dark people heckle you for money and make loud noises at irregular intervals.
I really want to find a charming american city that isn't crap or ghetto but I have had no luck.

The short answer is, 'The one highest up the food chain that you can afford'. If you're independently wealthy and don't have to work, getting away from the city centers is a good idea too, just be aware that there's not much work having out in the flyovers unless you get lucky or you have connections. That said, anywhere in America is a pretty good place to live, as long as you're equivalent to 'rich' in that part of the country, same as every other country. The sole exclusion to that rule is that you really don't want to be around the minorities.

I just haven't had many positive surprises. There's always little gems to find, museums, parks, nice bakeries, but overall most eastern cities have a lot of crime and diversity or just sort of feel like they died 50-100 years ago and are on life support.
There's a serious fear of color and distinctive design. Puritans ruined the American imagination.

thats not true ive had some great meals but there's usually like 2-3 good places that are not super fine dining at most and tons of generic sysco slop places with huge menus of pre-made garbage, the saddest part is how little people try to do something unique and special
you DO find pockets of special but there's so much laziness and cheap imported chinese slop sold instead of anything made locally
also, traffic/parking are generally hell even in small cities

Okay LARPer every single Western city is a shithole. LA, SF, Portland, Seattle, SLC, Denver. All of them are soulless dog shit filled with druggies or druggies and beaners. Texas mostly sucks ass and Austin is NPC central. There unironically isn’t a single good city West of the Mississippi. Not even physically. The architecture and sights on the East Coast and Rust Belt mog the fuck out of the rest of the country. Fucking Pittsburgh and Cincinatti are 10x nicer than Denver or Seattle.

I haven't spent much time on the West Coast, but I did spend a year in Portland and visually it is a bit more interesting than the east in some ways, certainly less in a historic sense but some of the taller buildings are more creative - there's that one with the orangey-red balconies downtown I always admired and just the city in general is better planned out than eastern ones, but the people are frigid, insular, and cliquey and the weather is generally intolerable except for the beautiful summers.
I didn't really have bad experiences with the homeless there, they were less pushy and WHITE, whereas here they are all black and loud and sometimes in your face. I don't like the west at all, I'm not tooting their horn, I'm just disappointed at the cities and larger towns in my copious travels through the mid-atlantic and southeastern parts of the us. I want them to be nice, and sometimes there's great historic architecture, but there's always this sense of giving up, laziness, and businesses that don't make sense and are just offering the bare minimum.
Pittsburgh is a tiny actual city and the traffic is horrid - feels like it is deliberately timed to keep you in the city as long as possible with red lights. Cincinnati didn't seem that bad, to be fair, but it still is way too diverse and has loud brown people and shot out black neighborhoods with crumbling older buildings.

from here my entire life, its all transplants and actual locals have no desire to ever know u, just stick to our one remaining highschool friend, or family which hasnt left for arizona due to being priced out by endless transplants/mexicans who can fit 8 in a house...
rich locals have more in common with poor mexicans than transplants. military guys r probably the most down to earth in this city (im a military brat i guess)
this is an actual example in america of fuck off were full, unless u enjoy only meeting people off tinder u will know nobody. sit in hour lines of transplants in costco.
it is beautiful and people do not give a fuck about shit like the rest of the cities here/states that flood us. texans insist on coming and talking about how "libtard" it is and other city faggots love saying its maga pilled. neither is true and its actually quite diverse. [i.e. u can be gay nobody cares u can be racist nobody cares. ]
thing is california is so fucking big and populated u can just find a micro city that will scratch the small town transplant itch.

when people complain about communism I wonder if they have ever needed help from others
>>2866831
what's the culture like outside of the military
california seems like a trap cuz you are there for the weather
my uncle moved there to play golf, left his wife who he raised kids with (tho granted she was a turbo-bitch), married a new woman and I forget if he got a condo or a house. He did finance stuff I think, was decently successful.
