I don't have cities I would not live in, I have entire states, entire REGIONS I will never live in. In fact, everytime Mr. KR is approached by a headhunter trying to get him to change jobs, he knows he has to look at my "list" to see if the place is acceptable or not.
The list is as follows:
Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire: YES
Rhode Island: YES, as long it's near Newport
Connecticut, New York, New Jersey (mainly because the in-laws live there), Delaware: NO
Pennsylvania: YES, but only if it's west of Harrisburg or south of Butler County
Virginia: YES if it's the Tidewater region, around Richmond or the S/W part of the state. NOVA is a big NONO
Washington, D.C. NooooooooooWaaaaaaaaaaay Let's just say that a relative is a homicide detective there who owns a 5 bedroom McMansion and drives a high end Mercedes and an Escalade. I don't want to live in a place that has to pay its cops so much money that they live like sheiks. Lots of overtime = lots of murder. Um, no thanks, there.
West Virginia: no thanks
North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia: yes, but only certain areas
Florida: maybe the Gulf Coast, particularly the Panhandle or JAX because we have friends there.
Ohio, Alabama,maybe
Indiana, Arkansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Illinois: NO
Any state that hasn't yet been mentioned, is by default on my list of "states I'd chew glass before I'd allow myself to move there."
