I hear it's great if you're into motocross. Their housing market was hit super hard - when we visited last month, we passed entire housing tracts that were left to rot, unfinished and unprotected against the elements. You're going to find a great house for cheap.

I disagree about there being less cactus. You'll see plenty of cactus when you get out into the wild. They're just smaller and less stereotypical,
like this little guy!

Only cause I live here. What other reason do you want.



Oh and I have a lot of friends in the motorcycle world... many that race.

It is the best city in the US, in my opinion (though the lack of public transport IS a drag, Snowy is right about that).

How about Iceland? It's a GREAT place for artists, let me tell you... absolutely gorgeous here, too (in the summer). Of course, I don't really expect anyone to take me seriously on the idea of moving here, but I can tell you that you can DEFINITELY get by on just English, without having to learn the local language. Everyone here speaks it, and much advertisting is done in English (as well as Icelandic), so that would be easy for you. Oh, but the motorcycle thing, hmm.. eh, not so much.
