San Diego. It’s a beautiful city, down to earth people, great nightlife and tons of outdoor activities year round.

Definitely San Diego. One of the best cities in one of the best states for enjoying your surroundings. And even off just weather alone San Diego is the winner.

In that order

Seattle, just closed on home this weekend. Moving in July. Mostly because of the outdoor, jobs and closer proximity to B.C (have family out there).

I strongly dislike Austin. I would vote San Diego unless you’re a massive / die hard skier. In that case I’d do SLC but proceed with caution if you’re single given the dating pool there.

like

Austin, cost of living, proximity in country to be able to more easily travel through US, so many things to do for all types of people, amazing nightlife, good food

like

What's close to Austin?

like

Austin, San Diego. I'd never move to SLC and you couldn't pay me enough to move back to Seattle.

SLC

like

It's close to a toss up between San Diego and Seattle. SLC is a distant fourth.

Do you prefer sunny beaches or rainy hikes? I like to live in the rain and vacation to sunny beaches and chose Seattle last year when I went full remote.

like

SLC > San Diego = Austin >>> Seattle

I love Salt Lake City, I used to travel there all the time for one client and have done a few vacations out there, but I'm an outdoorsy person.

Never been to San Diego, but I've heard anecdotally that it's great. Austin is becoming too hip for my tastes, but I like Texas in general. Not a fan of Seattle.

like

Then San Diego is probably your jam. Austin's an OK town and plenty warm, but at best it's like San Diego without the beach (even that's a stretch to me). Seattle isn't cold, but it's also not warm for many months (haven't touched my AC yet this year).

If you like suburbs with lower cost of living, there are some options outside of Austin. Otherwise, unless something specific about Texas is pulling you, SD is probably where you want to be.

like

San Diego!

like

SLC is about to be f**ked with climate change when that salt lake finishes disappearing (look it up!)

like

SLC as I love mountains and snow but the mountain west climate is an issue - won’t be getting any better!

like

Whether or not you're mormon definitely has bearing on whether SLC is a good place to live

like

Dilution? I mean, it was at one point nearly 100% Mormon and as more gentiles move there the concentration of Mormons has been diluted.

It's not like I said dilution is the solution to pollution, or anything like that.

As someone that lives in the Austin area now,
- Seattle
- San Diego
- Austin
- Salt Lake City

Austin mostly filled with boring suburbs in the surrounding areas. Outdoors is overrated because when it gets hot here, it’s unbearably so. There are hills, no mountains. Some lakes around here. So it’s a lot walking in fairly flat surfaces and paddle boarding for outdoors. Only good place to live is around the downtown area and now that’s just absurdly expensive.

Seattle is my type of city. San Diego always left me with a smile when I visited. Never been to Salt Lake City.

like

San Diego because it’s beautiful

San Diego for sure.

If you are planning a long term investment, Seattle. It’s the only city on the list with plenty of water to go around. If short term, San Diego!
