Quoted from rotordave:Hmmmmm ...
We have actually had this discussion.
Firstly, it'd have to have little snow. So the east coast is out. Or up north.
Secondly, a good airport.
Los Angeles is too crazy busy on the roads these days.
Denver (and surrounding area) was cool, probably the closest to NZ, but I wasn't there in winter time. Has a good pinball scene too.
If I was to live here, I'd probably pick Las Vegas. Reasons:
1/ good airport with flights everywhere
2/ close to LA
3/ good climate
4/ lots of rock/metal shows come through town
5/ cheapish real estate, I'd probably get a 3 bedroom apartment
6/ growing pinball scene
So there you go ...

You need to consider the crime.My sister lived there and got broke into twice in 2 years and she lives in a nice area.
