Portland and Seattle sound very cool to visit! I hate humidity so I couldn't live there.

As I recall, there wasn't that much humidity in Seattle. It just rains during the fall, most of winter, and spring, then it gets warm-er in the summer.



I lived in Seattle from ages 0-7. Then I moved to Connecticut.
I still hate it here. (Connecticut, that is)
I prefer to call Seattle my hometown rather than the town I have lived in for the past 7 years.
The people in my town are irritatingly rude and stuck-up (it's one of those rich white towns). Either you're rich and angry because you're not as rich as the other guy, or you're poor and you're angry because there's so many rich people. That's the way it seems to be for Connecticut and New York City. My mom's going crazy here, I swear.
I'd like to move to Seattle, Washington; Portland, Oregon; or Canada. Anywhere in Canada. As long as it isn't one of the parts where it snows most of the time.
I wouldn't mind the elitism of Seattlelites. I'm kind of elitist myself. XD (that's probably not something to be laughing about...)
There's a lot of bad reviews on the internet of Seattle, because the Seattlelites are kind of cold, but it sounded like the reviewers were ESXJs or something.
Besides, anything's better than fakey-nice people that you get where I live.

Characteristics worth considering (to me, an INTP):

- Weather: shouldn't be complicated to go outside. (Shouldn't have to put on too many coats, wear gloves, what's a scarf? etc.)
- Convenience: should have all amenities close enough to get to within a few minutes. (Grocery shopping, hardware store, etc.)
- Strong career potential: commutable to potential locations that an INTP (or NT) would find potential careers. (Simple retail, food-industry, or people-oriented jobs aren't enough.)
- Commutable: traffic and city layout should be easy enough to figure out.

I live in Atlanta (Decatur actually) which overall meets the first three and fails the fourth rather miserably; traffic is terrible. Normally I would not suggest to anyone that Atlanta is a good place to live, however most of Decatur is very nice (very pretty, too, with a lot of nature) and the convenience to everything is superb.

Traffic is also not as bad if you live in the city and don't live in the suburbs, where you would potentially have to commute into Atlanta (I lived in the 'burbs for most of my life). Therefore traffic becomes a lesser issue, and instead of a deal breaker becomes an inconvenience should I need to travel on any of the major highways during rush hour.

I don't have a lot of experience elsewhere, but these are key NT features I think that are important for a city:

Primary

1) Career Potential
2) Commute-ability
3) Conveniences

Secondary

1) Weather
2) Beauty (nature, cityscape, etc.)
3) Family/friend accessibility

Not sure about ENTs, but Minneapolis is wonderful for INTs! All the people who move here from out of state seem to complain about the Minnesotan reluctance to invite people into our homes... private reflection time FTW!

Funny, When I was a kid I LOVED Minnesota! I only got to visit a few summers, and spent 90% of that time fishing - Halcyon days =)

guys...just STAY the FUCK out of INDIANA...the northern parts arent bad if you like being raped while simultaneously getting shot up with heroin, crack, and getting mugged. the middle parts arent bad if you like staring at corn and soy beans, and the southern parts arent bad if you like rednecks and meth.

well...Indiana does have a really nice town near where i live, its called Bloomington, and its the gayest city in America, so i can pick up my ladies easier with less competition. its got a low crime, nice ecosystem, plenty of jobs, like right now its not even feeling the economy problems at all...that probably mostly from Indiana University tho...

I visited Bloomington IN (I'm from LA), and I LOVED it. It is a hidden gem that should be kept a secret from all those who think LA, NYC, CHI are the holy trinity.

I live in a rural area in So-Cal, about 50 miles outside of LA. It's cool, nobody bothers anybody else; were all just on our own little solitary missions of life. I might be moving to Scottsdale, AZ or into LA soon though; hopefully not LA but Scottsdale is nice.

Looks like Nevada & Florida, Party states

[TheOwl]

I'm moving to Missouri in a few weeks. Anyone here like that state?

[Pavane]

Houston, Texas.
Very different from the more rural parts.
It's hotter than hell down here in the summer. Very nice in spring and fall.
People aren't that bad I suppose. It's got something different for everyone I guess.

why is the arts and party places valued. I'm ENTJ and can say the OC is and always has been about status and conservative "the bubble is obnoxious". I spent my youth in Long Beach CA which wasn't so bad. I have to say though that Italy is where I spent 5 years and if I could I'd live there. I currently live on central east coast and find a lot of fake crazy religous crap to contend with, but where there is a church there is two bars lol ... where else are people going to go when they sober up oops I meant find god.
