If you could change two things about where you lived what would you change?

Not the house\condo\apartment you live in but the geographical area.
1) Less humidity
2) More sunshine

I live in the northern Colorado front range.

1. More rain, more green.

They pretty much go hand-in-hand. 300 days of sunshine, but the countryside is mostly brown and dusty.

2. More "neighborhood" flavor.

Almost everything and everyone here is new. There's no coherence, no flavor, no great sense of history. The local population has doubled in less than 30 years. Everyone is running the rat race trying to buy a bigger house (or any house at all, given the skyrocketing prices). I'd give my little finger just to find something half-way resembling a neighborhood bar.

Easy:

1. Property taxes reduced to the percentage of high school students successfully graduating compared to their freshman enrollment.
2. Churches are taxed like any other business and those contributing money to their church have their federal child deduction reduced by that amount.

If I could change something about where I live... it would be not living here.

Sadly the job market is here...and...well... I like money.

But if I could change 2 things about my current location
1) 95% fewer people (like IronWing) - this would kill 2 birds with 1 stone in that it will take care of my traffic issues as well as being around tons of stupid retards.
2) Have mid 70's / low 80's weather all day every day with a constant breeze. - Basically, california weather but at 1/20th the cost.

50% less people = Less traffic
More property or a better "Town" in the sense of more shops and restaurants.

1. Slash taxes by like 1/10. They're WAY too high for a smaller city

2. Get rid of all the bureaucracy of what you can and can't do on your own property and give full freedom to do what you want. This is an issue at most cities mind you, some are just worse than others.

If I had to put a 3rd option: fix all the roads. Roads here are horrible. But if the roads are going to be as bad as they are, I rather just pay less taxes and deal with the pot holes.

San Diego weather (but with the summer storms we have here)
More diverse food options/markets/access


....basically I want the two primary things I loved about living in CA transplanted over here.

I'm pretty sure racists and republicans are the same group where I'm at.
You can keep both. After Tuesday, the Fox headline said the D's are suffering, R's are hemorrhaging.
