To narrow down the list, lets keep it to places you've spent at least 6 months or more at. I'd say that gives a person a good idea of the culture in a given area. I'm young so the list is pretty small but in order I've lived in

1. Kenosha, Wisconsin
2. Whitewater, WI
3. Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming
4. Clark Fork, Idaho
5. Sandpoint, Idaho
6. Lake Geneva, WI

Out of all of these, Yellowstone was my favorite by far. Gorgeous landscape, wildlife everywhere, I had am amazing job handling fish everyday. Way to touristy during the summer months but as long as you stayed away from the main attractions (Old Faithful, Hot Springs) it wasnt so bad.

Standpoint, ID was a close second. Lived On 20 acres with an awesome landlord who let me hunt the land and use it however I wanted as long as I was respectful.

Never really disliked any of the places I've lived but if I had to pick the worst, I would say Lake Geneva. Very expensive, stupid busy during the summer, awful traffic downtown. Have to pay just to swim at the beach or park downtown.
 
Amarillo Tx. It was just an awful experience for me personally. Was my own stupid mistake tho.
 
SF or NYC were the best. Worst? I guess Montreal because we lived on skid row (literally).
 
Buckhannon, WV
Goldsboro, NC
Wichita Falls, TX
Shelbyville, IN
Raleigh, NC
Hanahan, SC
Paris, TX
Lagrange, GA
Greenville, SC
Summerville, SC
Columbia, SC
Norfolk, VA
San Diego, CA
Myrtle Beach, SC

A few others for less than 6mo.

SD and MB were my favorite places I've lived, I guess.
 
hmm, i lived in grande cache alberta, very small town in the mountains, but really beautiful. i fell in love with the mountains. and winter lasts a long time there which is another bonus, it's cold as fuck actually. area is small enough that you can walk to anywhere you wanna go. oh, and there's lots of wildlife!the people are good too. i plan on going back there one day, if even just for a visit.

grew up in nova scotia, and while i used to think it was a boring shitty province, having lived in a town now that actually is boring and shitty, i appreciate nova scotia much more. no matter what why you drive, you'll always find the ocean. i grew up in the valley and as well in the country, and both were great. country life is super fabulous, big piece of land to explore, friendly neighbors that bring you homebaked goods, apples from their orchards, and veggies from their garden. then there's lots of farm animals around, and i love farm animals lol. there's actually a lot to do in the valley too. there are even pumpkin races!

Cape Breton is also a good piece of Nova Scotia. Very beautiful in the summer and autumn! And that fresh ocean air, ahhh

Foliage is especially bright and beautiful on the east coast. i've been a few different places now, and none compare to the east!

As for British Columbia, I am feeling very "meh" on it so far lmao, but I maybe need to get out more
 
Columbia, SC
Atlanta
Kapolei, HI
Brooklyn
Sanibel, FL
Destin, FL
Fairfield, CT
Le Grau du Roi, FR
East Hampton, NY
Quogue, NY
Grand Rapids, MI

I'd say le grau du roi, but that might be mostly because I went there in my off-season with a bunch of money and didn't have to work.
 
San Diego
Twentynine Palms, CA
Quantico, VA
Fredericksburg, VA
Lynnwood, WA
Columbia, SC
Hopewell, VA
Baumholder, Germany
Djibouti
Kabul, Afghanistan
Okinawa
El Paso

Best is San Diego by far and it's not remotely close. Worst is well that's hard to pick between Djibouti and Kabul, neither had a single redeeming quality whatsoever

Tampa FL
Daytona Beach FL
Miami FL
Atlanta GA
Dahlonega GA
Cummins GA
Knoxville TN
Prestonburg KY
Dallas TX
Arlington TX
NYC
Toledo OH
Deshler OH
Seattle WA
Kirkland WA
Redmond WA

Favorite is probably Dahlonega. Just peaceful, beautiful with mild weather, and no traffic.If it is a bigger city, then Miami probably.

Hated Toledo and Seattle. Toledo a bit more so, because it is more ghetto and dirty.
 
Pittsburgh, Pa
Rockford, Ill
San Ramon, Ca
Laguna Niguel, Ca
Benicia, Ca
Trinidad, Ca

1. Pittsburgh by far because of childhood memories and the people weren't a bunch of vaginas like everyone in Cali.

2. Rockford for the same reasons

3. Tie between San Ramon and Benicia. Both have ridiculously hot high maintenance white girls and bunch of mx tracks

5. Laguna Niguel had the same as above but the traffic sucked and Socal people are way bigger vaginas than Norcal people and everything is spread out to far.

6. Trinidad is beautiful but you have Eureka and SoHum lurking just south with tweakers and chicks who don't shave or take care of themselves.

That's just a brief summary
