And where do you live?, Ok, this is a stupid thread, I realize that now Options

Based upon the crap that goes down in this here town, I can honestly say I fed up with this $#!T. I don't want to get sent to prison for killing someone, so eventually I am going to have to leave. What's your city like? IS it chill? Random_Stranger needs a new home, and is looking for information for that perfect place. This place blows and usually so do most of the towns from Fresno to Lancaster. Where to? Is Cali still cool? Or would another state be better? Colorado seems chill, but I hates snow.

I live in Hamilton, "the steel city" Ontario.

Its super chill but super ****, and its definitely not a place where I want be and I would not suggest moving here or visiting here or even acknowledging its existence. There's few economic opportunities and the city is constantly growing with working class people looking to get a job in the dying manufacturing industry. However it does have a university and a fairly decent college. But really its just a place to live and commute to burlington, oakville and toronto where all the real economic opportunities are.

I just came out of "sociology of work" and I'm sleep deprived, to put what I said into some kind of context.

Dude, honestly Canada seems like a nice place to live. You guys don't have crime nearly as bad as most places of California, the women are attractive, people are nice (even though most Americans would think they are stuck up), and it seems beautiful there. The only thing I am scared of is those silly laws you guys have. To leave Cali and go there, would almost seem no different than moving up north of Cali for the same thing.

Well probably not, comparing Cali to Canada are different. I think you could only really compare inside of the country. Like for part of Canada, Hamilton is rough. Not as rough as say some of the east coast (higher unemployment, 15.4% for Newfoundland being the highest. 9.8% being New Brunswick. 2004 Census.) but its just what I consider to be a boring place, that although is becoming large in size does not deal in larger business. I don't think you can compare it though to California because you would have to compare the ideals of both nations. Though it is a nice looking city in some places, has lower crime and might have "friendlier" people, its very Left on the political spectrum as a city, mostly due to the failing steel industry (which the city is known for and was the major source of income up until about 20 years ago) and the need for social welfare for those who cannot find a job or do not have the education also it's population is growing not because of reproduction but because of immigration and cheaper housing. I don't consider this a bad thing, since I am super-left and an advocate of multiculturalism but it might take some time adjusting to multiculturalism compared to the melting-pot.

I probably went way too in-depth, but it pertains to my area of study and I have a lot of source work on this kind of stuff. Go Sociology Go. Rah Rah Rah. Etc.

Also, what silly laws? The going over 50km/h is street racing or the fact that its legal to pirate stuff if you use it only for home use (they're both equally silly in context)
