Hey we screwed up. We for some reason used some pictures for Rockport Mass, not Maine. Should we can some people?
Yes, and remember the saying "Women and children first", so get to firing!
Off with their heads!
Not this close to Christmas. tsk tsk. :)
Briggs.........there is the integrity of the brand; send them packing. (after Christmas)
TBH I come for the cool information. The visuals are a fun perk!
I was a stand-up comedian when I was younger. But as I got older, I found it was more comfortable sitting down,
😂😂😂
Lol
What? 😭😭
Bono and the Edge walked into a bar. The Bartender said "Oh no. Not U2 again."
Still got it
I'm born and raised in Seattle and I lived in Bellevue for several years (moved there to be close to a job) and it might be only a few miles away from Seattle, but let me tell ya- it feels like a million miles. It's so freakin nice in Bellevue- there is no litter, no potholes in the streets, no junky shitty cars parked everywhere, no one has blue tarps covering stuff in their yard/driveway.. I could go on and on. The mall is actually nice and not scary and dangerous, it's just so nice. And they have SO much money to spend on cool stuff like parks, greens flowers and aesthetic things to line the streets, their Fourth of July fireworks show is amazing and their Christmas downtown deal is unbelievable. I don't know if they still do this, but when I lived there, for the whole month of December they would have the entire downtown area set up like a Christmas wonderland with huge giant NutCrackers and every hour on the hour they would come to life and there would be music and they would drum on their drums and dance and sing- and it would actually snow fake snow... every hour on the hour in this Christmas wonderland that encompassed the whole downtown area- it was absolutely unreal! I now live back in Seattle but I sure do miss Bellevue. Oh, and Mercer Island.. I sometimes will just drive around the neighborhoods and thru the twisting green foresty roads and look at the amazing houses and dream :)
One of my favorite local area pastimes LOL
I agree, Bellevue is lovely :)
Bellevue is nice, but I like more sunny days. That's the only drawback.
Bring lots of money.
The Pacific Northwest stinks. You guy's don't have Pantera and Bourbon Street🤷♂️
Grew up in Sumner but lived in Seattle in the 90s then again in the mid 2000s my mother in law still lives on Capital Hill. I visit about once a month and really it ain't that bad. I've worked in Bellevue and it's the most boring place I've ever been. I mean maybe boring is a plus.
This is one of the most interesting channels on UA-cam. Same goes for “On This Day.”
I love that you mentioned Fayetteville. It’s a great area to live. I love it here. Northwest Arkansas is completely different than the rest of the state and avoid Little Rock
Hoping to move down to Bentonville soon with a new job. 🙏🏼
My sister moved to Jonesboro a few years ago. Hope she’s doing well. She’s a yankee
@@MoonlightXYZ walmart based?🤔
Before Briggs, all I ever heard of Arkansas was Little Rock 😂
Nope. Sucks. Go somewhere else
I live in Fayetteville. Just moved here in May 2021, from San Bernardino 😩. I love it out here. One of the nicest, safest places I’ve lived. Huge houses for cheap. And they’re building more. But… I still wanna move out the US and travel. I’m over the facade known as the “American dream”.
Is Fayetteville pretty integrated? I always tend to stay away from certain states but I've seen some good things about Fayetteville dealing with racism. How do you really like it?
I hear you. Grew up in Fay but We had to buy our house in Farmington- better for the buck, and now even in Farmington car fumes are getting out of control. We are thinking about moving to Maine and then to Canada, possibly.
@@Living_LovingSanDiego Fayetteville is very white and they have gentrified the diverse areas turning them into million dollar homes
@@Living_LovingSanDiego I’ve haven’t had one problem w racism here. Southern hospitality is a real thing. And there is quite a few blck ppl here. Honestly, some of the nicest ppl I’ve ever lived around. I’ve seen more racist ppl in Orange County Cali than this. It’s like pleasanville out here. I love it.
@@edgehouse I live in Farmington right now. I love it here. But we’re thinking about moving to Playa de Carmen. 👍🏾
I went to Sedona AZ for a day on a southwest trip. Im from new York so I'd never been out west. I'd move there! It was absolutely gorgeous and not extremely expensive. Kinda touristy, but one of the most beautiful places I've ever been in the US
It's actually VERY touristy. It has gotten so bad that locals are trying to find ways to reduce tourism, in a town that has an economy at least partly based on tourism. (3 to 4 million annually) But, it is one of the most spectacular places in the whole country. I have spent a lot of time there. As a longtime photographer, I have taken many 10-day photo trips there. Wrote at least one newspaper story about the place and offered AZ Highways a photo/article package. Since I started going there 30 years ago, it has become somewhat too overrun with tourists; a victim of its own beauty. I always got a kick out of taking a first-time guest up the 17 and then onto the 179 and watch their face when they got that first glimpse of those red rocks against a blue sky. Wow.
@@Jj-gi2uv I agree.........before I moved to Arizona 30 years ago, I subscribed to Arizona Highways. As a photographer, it was one of my favorite magazines. It was like an ad campaign for Sedona. I have been to southern Utah on photo trips also. Some amazing landscapes.
Sedona is insanely expensive lol. Reese Witherspoon tweeted that Sedona is expensive and wasn’t kidding :)
I'm totally with ya on how beautiful the Oregon Coast is! Mt (ex) wife and I (and all of our dogs) ALWAYS spent our vacations up and down the coast. So many wonderful little towns out there.
I have lived in many cities and towns across the western United States. I enjoyed living in the smaller cities and towns. But I can tell you that my kids complained about living in a small town. As a parent I loved it. The high school was the center of entertainment, athletics were very popular. One of my favorite memories of living in Hoquiam Washington was every autumn when the high school band started practicing for their marching program. In the evening I could sit on my deck and listen to the band playing and marching down the back streets. It was just magical. In the autumn on Friday night you could hear the crowds cheering at the football stadium-and hear the band playing. I grew up there and knew every family on my route to elementary school. I lived two houses away from my first grade teacher. When I moved back there to raise my family, my kids lived just 3 houses away from their first grade teacher! And my kids knew almost every family on their school route. The school district NEVER lost a school levy, in over 50 years, the district had a winning record. The high school looks like a small college. The football stadium is a Registered Historical Site and holds 8,000 people, (the whole town has 8500). The schools are new- the oldest is 50 years old. The high school gymnasium holds around 3,000 people. The area is one of the most generous places I’ve ever lived. The community supports an incredible variety of charitable organizations and regularly gives of their time and money. I’m sure there are other small towns with similar positive points, but that’s why people should research before buying any home. Especially if you have kids. I’d rate schools as one of the most important items to research when moving into a new home.
The whole Gray's Harbor area has come up lately but it's still a bit rough. I think if the film industry took an interest in Aberdeen it would be great. Fixed up that town could be a set for any era from the 20s to the 90s. Westport is where I learned to surf. Have you ever been to the Peruvian restaurant in town if not you should. I stop there every time I take the south route from Forks to I-5.
Freaking essay-style UA-cam comment, ain’t nobody reading this
@@crewser004 I read it.
My parents married in 1952. When my father returned from serving in the Korean war they had to decide where to move to and raise their family. Their primary criteria focused on towns with the best school systems. They choose Newton, Massachusetts which had excellent schools. When I went to Newton South high school in the 80s it was rated as one of the top 100 public high schools in the nation. So I agree with you: good schools are among the most important items to research when moving.
@@crewser004 i did sad emoji or whatever
Wow, Mr. Briggs! Cannon Beach is your top pick! Cannon Beach is one of my favorite places on the Oregon coast. It's such a beautiful and fun place. I used to go there about six times a year when I lived in Portland. My other favorite town on the coast is Florence where I lived for a couple years.
I agree with you 1000% on Monterey, CA. I was there for there first time this year, It is absolutely stunning!!! Coastal waters, nice people, excellent scenery, what's not to love? The only bad thing about it is that it's crazy expensive!! Not as bad as Malibu or Beverly Hills, but way up there.
It is an incredible place
Hmmm, love your channel but check your facts on the Rockport, ME. What you are showing in at least some of these photos is Rockport, Massachusetts. I spent many summers there so I'm pretty familiar.
The whole Maine coast is just spectacular! So many great towns to choose from. Stonington, ME is one of my favorites - just a perfect seaside town!
But the locals don't want you coming. I lived in Portland for 7 long and lonely years. You are "from away" and they want you to go away! Northern New England is much like that. Visiting and living somewhere is very different.
I drove through Arkansas this summer and most of the state was not my thing, but I loved Fayetteville. I walked and drove around a little and it is definitely a city with a lot of positive energy, and I agree in that I think it's going to get expensive. It's in a beautiful location, the economy appeared to be good and it was right there in the Ozarks. Well dressed southern yuppies were running around everywhere. My wife was not convinced that I was telling the truth, but, just like people who see UFOs say, I know what I saw.
I know what I saw…😂
Nope stay away
I used to live in the Seaside, OR area and witnessed the transformation of Canon Beach. Back in the day it was a bit run down but the citizens got together and decided to homogenize the look of the buildings. That's when all the cedar shake popped up. Look into it Briggs it is sort of like what Winthrop Washington did or even Whitefish Montana. That'd be an interesting topic , towns that transformed on purpose.
I spent a year living in Vancouver, WA. One day a buddy and I drove over to the Oregon coast and looked around. It was wonderful. I can see the appeal. Western Washington and Oregon have the same trees and climate and vibe as New England, which I love.
Mo's even had to be painted green instead of their trademark blue color because of the city ordinances about how everything had to look. They eventually lifted it.
I really like this particular vlog. I lived & worked in Monterey, CA for 7 years. Now that I worked and lived all over California, I retired to San Diego. Weather, nature, Ocean, lakes & mountains. It's got it all. I am 30 minutes to La Jolla or Del Mar but close enough to take as many day trips as I can for a great staycation lifestyle. I really agree with your list !
I spent a few months in Santa Barbara CA earlier this year. I was a volunteer so I didn't have to pay rent as a workcamper. Easy to get around. Not too bad traffic. Beautiful coastline. Very walkable downtown.
Its heaven
Born & Raised in Fayetteville, AR(Have lived other places), Fayetteville is a great. Eureka Springs is awesome also.
I hate to be that person but your Rockport, ME section has a number of pics of Rockport, MA. Specifically, there’s the narrow street crowded with people and shops and then what you referred to as the harbor (before the sailboat on the open ocean). I grew up in MA - so yeah, I guess I’m a Ma$$hole - and have been to both Rockports SO many times which is why I was able to pick that out. Sorry for the criticism. I’ve been a fan of yours for a while now, though, and you make some really great videos. I just figured you might want to know this.
Hi Briggs. You forgot to mention the weather on the Oregon coast, which is perfect for those who love fog and rain, rain, and more rain. Hope you win that lottery, my man!
Uhhh.... Your images of Rockport, ME, are from Rockport MA! Motif #1 (The red building on the harbor) on the harbor is a dead giveaway. The shopping area you showed is Bearskin Neck. But to be honest, Both towns are fabulous and could be ranked together!
However, not a dead giveaway for someone who hasn’t spent a bunch of time in both places. (I commented with this exact same info about 30 +/- minutes ago.)
I can't deal with anywhere west of the Mississippi. Too brown and dry. Even the Pacific Northwest is too drab for me. I like high density deciduous forest with full green grass like in New England.
You can imagine my excitement.
Good.
Couldn't agree with you more Nick. After 22 years in Colorado and exploring western states, I can't wait to retire in 2 years and move back to the Eastern Deciduous forest!! The Rockies are magnificent, and the skiing was great, but there's no plant or animal diversity. Boring and dry!
Born and raised in Maryland and Virginia. I have loved the skiing and the majesty of the Rocky Mountains here in Colorado and Utah for the last 22 years, BUT I cannot wait to retire in 2 years and get back to the Eastern Deciduous Forest! Very dry here. Very brown here. Pine trees everywhere, many dead or dying. Headed for Tennessee or Kentucky.
@@dk-qr5xt 😆
Definitely agree with Fayetteville Arkansas. It’s a great place to live. It’s not like the rest of the state. Unfortunately it’s getting more expensive and the wages aren’t keeping up. NWA is pretty awesome. Better than the part of Arkansas I lived in!
OMG - The Hotel Wayne in Honesdale PA! Stayed there a while back knowing about the haunted mystique. We had a little dog with us that unbeknownst to us got into a bag of bagels in the middle of the night. Got the bread stuck to the roof of her mouth and made a terrible "unholy" sound from under the bed in her attempt to get it dislodged. Scared the begeebies out of us!
I raised 5 kids in Vancouver. We went to Cannon Beach every summer ❤it❤it❤it! The taffy shop, wine shop, kite shop! We made HUGE sandcastles w/motes. I still have some of the kites. Wonderful City. Good choice.
NW Arkansas has always been on my radar. Love that part of the country.
My girlfriends parents live right next to Honesdale and we love it up there! One of those small towns that just feels nice and safe with great people, lots of nature, and towns of little shops and fun things to do and see!!
The pictures you were portraying for Rockport Maine is actually in Rockport Massachusetts. The picture of all the people walking is on bearskin neck In Rockport Massachusetts.
I grew up in Sarasota, FL. Home to Siesta Beach one of the “best in the world” and personally speaking, anything on the Oregon coast blows it out of the water. It’s pure magic out there.
Wealthy or not, I’ve never understood the appeal of Aspen. I’m probably jaundiced by a flying career that could not escape regular flights into that PIA airport but, in my opinion, there are far more beautiful places with better amenities if you can tolerate living in CO.
St George is pretty nice and ill live there as a winter home, i cant stand the heat in the summer, it gets over 100 degrees in the summer.
Yea I don't think he did very good research on that one. St George is low elevation and low latitude compared to the rest of Utah, so it gets very very hot
The heat in St. George is unreal.
Where I’d want to live :
1. Austin, Texas
2. San Jose, California
3. Aspen, Colorado
4. Tampa, Florida
5. Honolulu, Hawaii
6. San Diego, California
7. Vermont
8. Denver, Colorado
9. Phoenix, Arizona
10. Fort Lauderdale, Florida
Clearwater over Tampa. Less pace, more vacation like. Dunedin is awesome. Palm harbor, Ozona and Tarpon Springs are close and cool. Fishing, beach, boating, and such are amazing.
You're number 3 and 9 are pretty contradictory. One is cold virtually all year, and the other is an oven. Lol.
@@matthewviramontes3131 I’m very diverse when it comes to places I’ve always wanted to live in. Colorado and Arizona was ALWAYS on my list and those two places are two POLAR opposites
I was born near Yosemite, it is one of my earliest memories and the Pacific Crest Trail is my reset space. Soon to leave California and will miss it more than anything else.
Omg the way you described Blufton is exactly what I’m looking for 😂 I was watching Hart Of Dixie and said “ I need to find a town like this” !
A lot of love for the West Coast, both from your choices and from the comments. I absolutely agree! I just wish those coastal towns didn't cost so much.
Amen! I live just outside of Monterey and I have to think twice before I even drive there for lunch!
For less cost, population and small towns, checkout the north east coast. I purchased just north of Calais ME in St Stephen NB Canada. Almost every amenity of a larger town with population of 7000. It affords me to keep a winter home in Florida. Which I may sell and buy in Portugal, we'll see.
I could definitely do Blufton. And La Jolla is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been, though I could never afford it.
Having been to Monterey more times then I can count, and also to La Jolla a number of times…I’d say that San Luis Obispo has them beat by miles! The Central Coast is definitely a hidden gem compared to the bigger cities north and south. Definitely miss living there!
I miss SLO!
Read a few Ann Rule books and you might change your view of Bellevue or the Pacific Northwest in general
“Or you’ll be living in a van down by the river” - van life is quite a popular thing on you tube 😂
😂
I really like your list. I'm partial to the Oregon Coast and would happily live just about anywhere from Waldport north to Astoria if I came into unexpected wealth (with a couple of exceptions)...
Astoria in the 80s was decrepit and now it's pretty good. Another argument for towns that transformed themselves
I drove through Little Rock and stopped for Sunday brunch. Very eclectic. The bathroom had a unicorn and said whatever. The food was great and very trendy. The crowd and staff were diverse and looked real happy. A couple of homeless outside but I work in Brooklyn so not phased by it.
I agree Cannon Beach is. Beautiful place. We visit Coos Bay yearly. It’s a beautiful place too!
Bandon, Oregon is a beautiful small town maybe 45 minutes south of Coos Bay. People are great there and the scenery is second to none on the Oregon coast.
@@johntaylor5288 I agree. My favorite town on the Oregon coast is Newport.
I visited the Oregon beaches when I lived in PDX, and I agree with you 100% about the beauty of the Canon Beach area (most OR coastal towns). Thanks for sharing this list. I live in AR now and also agree about Fayetteville, more so NW Arkansas. It is getting too big though and the prices are going up steadily. Now we have people from TX moving to AR because of their "problems". (Austin & the border towns.) Now's a good time to invest in real estate in AR. The low prices will be gone before long, I'm afraid. Stay safe in PDX. Enjoy your content. :)
I like NW Arkansas a lot and made two visits with many trips out with the real estate agent...wish I had bought at the time. What is the situation like with tornados in that area? That was my only concern.
@@WriterandPhotographer Nope. Stay away
Nope. Stay away.
Yep I love Cannon Beach myself we've always had a good time when we go there and yes is I like to slow her pace of the Oregon coast down there most of the time I like the off season the best and I love the storms and the waves and stuff there it's great anyway have a great day everybody and thanks. You're great
Stayed in St. George on trip from Wisconsin to California. Got up early before everyone and just took in all the red rocks everywhere so awesome
Aspen and Vail Colorado isn’t cheap because the celebrities moved there. Years ago, a friend of mine sold his property. He said, The public officials in Aspen and Vail don’t care about their citizens. The officials wanted the money. A lot of citizens were forced or pressured out of those city to allow more celebrities to move there. It true.
Briggs might want to add Ferndale, CA to his list. I spent 7 years there and it's like the 19th century. It sits right on the coast and it's the westernmost town in the continental US. It's just off the 101 behind the Redwood Curtain. In the summer, the sunset isn't till around 10 pm, and the fog rolls in about 7 so they have this thing called "the gloaming." It's spooky. Also, in Humboldt County, you can subsist entirely on food grown there. But, lots of "liquid sunshine."
I took a road trip with my kids and had to take them to Ferndale. I expected it to be very uppity but found it very relaxing.
Ferndale is absolutely a beautiful place! It might just be a little remote for many people
Ferndale looks like a movie set. 😂. It strangely does not attract potential residents.
Should definitely mention Sheboygan, Wisconsin! Great place to start a family and have a beach at Lake Michigan a couple blocks away.
We used to vacation in door county every summer. Great times.
I live in salinas which is like 20 minutes from monterey and monterey changed a lot honestly it's still relatively safe and clean but it is getting a little worse the beaches sometimes have homeless all over but they're trying to get fix it which is great.
I was in Monterey for 3 days last summer and loved it. If I could afford it I'd be there now.
VA has some great places to live too !! Check out Warrenton VA and surroundings ! Great restaurants, shops, art galleries. Beautiful countryside ! Great for dogs and horse lovers !
Good crowd of people, safe !
I really love the Coos Bay area. I think it's a little more affordable. And one of my all time favorite Oregon towns is Baker City. No a lot happening there, which is why I like it, but the people there are just so darn friendly.
I agree, and Depoe Bay is a nice place to do some whale watching.
I love Cannon Beach as well. July and August are great at the Oregon Coast.
The places that sounded appealing to me is Fayetteville and Bluffton(sp). I found Hot Springs AR over summer and loved it.
Bluffton is nice. We're just north of Charleston but the low country is gorgeous.
I’m with you Briggs, Cannon Beach.
I live in north Milwaukie, Ore. and love going there, well, anywhere on the Oregon coast really.
This list is right on!
Cannon Beach is ok. Further down closer to Florence is beautiful. Any where along the Pacific Coast is great for a nice Week-long vacation.
Hi, my name is Jonathan and I'm a big fan of your channel. I went to Cannon Beach this summer and I loved it too!
I just drove the coast down Oregon yesterday and woke up in Brookings today. Neat spots but sparce for anything to do
PS..take it rom a SoCal girl living in OK-(not far from Fayetteville)-BEFORE you think about Tulsa-look at Fayetteville/Springdale/Rogers. It’s a lot like SoCal-I’d compare it to Irvine-parks, bike trails, entertainment, “hipster” food spots/coffee shops and really gorgeous nature. I love where I live just on the OK side but for schools/venues etc…Fayetteville all the way.
Great list! Quick nit pick, you showed a pic of a red boat shack for Rockport, ME, but that's actually in Rockport, MA. It's referred to as Motif #1 (the story why is pretty interesting and funny). Actually was just visiting there over Thanksgiving. Anyway, we definitely have similar life goals.
St George is nice, Monterrey is wonderful excellent scuba diving and nice weather and I'm with you on the Oregon Coast.
My parents took me to Cannon Beach back in 2021 and man, I fell in Love! I couldn’t get it out of my head for weeks. It was so beautiful that I still dream of it to this day.
Oh how I could never afford a place like that!
Interesting choices, I grew up near Los Angeles and have been to Monterrey and yes it is awesome but pricey. I went to college in San Diego so familiar with La Jolla as well. Of those 2, I would choose Monterrey as I lived in San Diego for 5 years and La Jolla is basically a very upscale San Diego neighborhood. I also lived in Dallas, TX for almost 2 years (did not like). I now live in Florida for about 20 years, loved it at first but it’s gotten much more crowded and hotter and more humid so I won’t retire in Florida. For me some places I would like to live short term (1 year or less) would be Key West, FL, Bisbee, AZ, Sedona, AZ, Astoria, OR, or Athens, GA. Although I enjoy visiting pricey big cities on vacation I would not want to live in one.
I was born raised in Fayetteville Arkansas, and it is absolutely fabulous. I’ve lived in San Francisco and I’m currently in Berlin, and I know that there’s something very special about Fayetteville and Northwest Arkansas in general. I would go so far as to say it is the best place to live in the country -especially for the value at this time. It’s gorgeous it’s a very cultured, friendly, great food, very international, and booming. It is usually nothing like what people think it will be. Especially east and west coasters…. they’ll eventually find out.
Very cultured? Really ?
@@liberatedentrepreneur149 Nope. Stay away.
@@obijuankenobi420 nope stay away
Nope stay away
@@ChiliWillie Sorry Billy Boy....I'm coming....and I'm gonna marry your cousin....the fat one.
The good thing about having your own channel is you can post the places you like. Not knocking where you want to live but there were only a couple on the list that are even remotely appealing to me. That's cool, it's your list.
Right on with Fayetteville. I lived in Monticello AR for 5 years and spent time in Fayetteville. Beautiful area.
Just a heads up warning about the Oregon coast. Theyre expecting a 9.0 thrust fault earthquake there off the coast at any time which will produce a 60-100 foot tsunami similar to the one that hit Japan 10 years ago. Make sure your house is EQ proof and at least 110 feet above sea level.
This is quite an important consideration! Look up "Cascadia Subversion" to read all about it. I think it was The New Yorker that had a particularly good article about it.
Ever thought about doing a couple of videos on canada? Like B.C, Ontario, Alberta, etc.?
Living in some place in Canada are on my bucket list.
Yes....and citizenship possibilities. I live 20 min from the border. White Rock and Surrey are gorgeous.
I love my hometown of Fayetteville and soon won’t be able to afford to live here stop putting Fayetteville in top 10 lists. Ty
Love Cannon Beach. Took my dog a beachside hotel & we hung out a few days. Cool rock formations & nice little town. 🤘🐐🤘
I'm Australian, but engaged to a girl from Bellevue so if we chose to move to the USA when we get married (her parents live there) I expect that's where we would end up. I'm happy to see it on this list!
Good for you brother, I’m an American and I’d love to visit Straya someday! 🇦🇺
What part of Australia are you from? Might be a bit of a change weather-wise but if you enjoy access to the great outdoors it's a solid spot.
I’d love to move to cannon beach too .We go every year for our anniversary. Probably going in a couple of weeks❤️
I use to surf fish on the Oregon coast when I was 11 years old. Unforgettable experience. Breathe taking.
_”Call some place paradise, kiss it goodbye.”_ - The Eagles, _Hotel California_
Regarding Washington State, what about Bellingham, in Whatcom County? I have a friend who just moved there, and I've spent some time there. It seems like a nice place.
Monterey is beautiful. So is Port Elisabeth and Bar Harbor Maine. My number one and two is Gatlinburg, TN and Rapid City, South Dakota!
Thanks dude! I didn’t know about the comedian history… That makes sense, your narration is spot on!
So with you on Cannon Beach. It was just snowing yesterday 😊
Thanks for your ongoing love for Honesdale - much of northeast PA (especially Wayne & Pike Counties) offer a lot of opportunities for outdoor activities. For a bargain, check out Lackawanna Co…close enough for frequent quick trips to Wayne/Pike but offers some of the most affordable real estate around.
I lived in honesdale back in 83. My aunt still lives there. Sporer,s Cafe by the train car
Loved this one, but what are the stats for Cannon Beach? All I heard was "wear a jacket", lol!
Yes, your opinion. And every one has one.
Mine differ greatly.
Enjoy your day!
Bluffton, SC is geowing crazy fast. Seems like an odd choice given the other 9. What about my home town of Beaufort, SC just up the road.from Bluffton?
Love this list of places to live in 2023! Really opens up options for a fresh start. Super helpful, thanks!
I do like that you would include Fayetteville Arkansas in your list as you usually disparage the rest of the state. Not sure where you got your footage of Arkansas though. The one town you showed in the distance seems to be that of Hot Springs ,a great little city, you can tell from the mountain tower that is prominent in the footage
I live just northwest of Aspen.
Single wide trailers up on Smuggler Mtn. Are going for $1.2 million. Employee housing shared living space with another person will still cost you about $1200-$1400 a month for a cardboard box at Burlingame Housing.
Even if I had crazy money, I’d never live in a town/area that’s so outrageously expensive. Absolutely staggering.
Talking about Belveiw WA. I had a couple friends that lived there back in the late 90's and PearlJam practiced in a garage of a house just down the street from them.
Loved this would like to see more videos like this one, with just your opinion and not many stats, exploring some places I've never heard of, while looking at some cool footage!
Cannon Beach rains a lot. Nice to visit. Living there? A different story.
Depending on your income. You can pay more income tax to live in Oregon than California. If you like Oregon coast maybe look at Washington or Northern California. That Cranberry Coast is interesting.
LoL i was at a Kmart a while back! and a prankster said over store intercom " will Phil dirt and Pete moss report to the garden department"😂 thanks for your videos
lol
My first time going to Fayetteville for a Razorback game I realized they were keeping it on the low and preferred to keep it that way.
Briggs please do one of these type of videos for young adults please 🙏🏽 I’ve been debating on Houston or Vegas and I’m coming from ATL. NEED HELP!
Houston is a god awful place
You left out Stevensville MT. I lived in Kirkland WA for 26 years, just up the road from Bellevue. I worked in Bellevue and Redmond. The Eastside of Lake Washington is a lot nicer than anywhere in Seattle. I’ve been to Cannon Beach. It is nice.
Briggs, you've lost your mind! California, Oregon and Washington are crazy people and high cost of living and Maine too. You must be rich! Those are all places I would like visit but no way in Hell would I live there. I'll just stay here in good ole Knoxville, Tennessee. We have a very low cost of living, beautiful mountains and lakes, temperate climate, very little crime, no state income taxes and free junior college tuition. What could be better than that? And it's home of the Tennessee Volunteers!
Enjoyed your list! You've included several of my favorites, but I'm not surprised. I don't recall having been through Honesdale, but I do know that the area, in general, is nice. That's the thing. There are really nice places all around the country if you look. Of course, visiting an area can sometimes give a different impression than actually living there. I'd advise anyone, who had the opportunity, to spend as much time as possible in their prospective new town before moving. (Not always easily done). Once you've seen the sights, eaten at the local restaraunts, etc.etc, the "shine" may dim a bit! Having said that, don't be afraid of change!
Ok before watching understand I want to move and will pick a place on this list. It’s on you Briggs 😅
Just don't choose St George. You'll regret it
If money were not a problem, I just love Carmel by the Sea. I love that the pine trees meet the ocean, not crazy about the touristy areas but the homes are all so beautiful.
This is a great video, 10 places with a varying range of budgets, geography and climates. Plus I hadn’t even heard of half of them
