Best Country to Live In?

[fae_reborn]

I would actually prefer to avoid the south as much as possible, I just don't get a good vibe from that part of the country.  And Florida is much too muggy for my liking, went down there when I was little and couldn't stand it, felt like I was in an oven for weeks!

Hmmm ... What about somewhere like the South of France or Spain or perhaps Italy? Those are Mediterranean rather than temperate, so while you have a nice climate you also don't get that oppressive humidity one gets closer to the equator. I don't know how Spain or Italy are as far as civil rights and laws go, though I do know that France is really liberal. In theory though they are all members of the EU and must hold to the laws and civil rights conventions mandated by Brussels, so even bad Europe is gonna be way better than the US, I'm thinking.

Just avoid Vatican City.

I know people who love Atlanta, none trans, but a couple gay people.  Summers are very hot and humid though, you can cut chunks of air out of the sky with a knife.

Tru dat, on all counts.

Vexing that skyline looks beautiful!  I've thought of visiting New Zealand.  Is it really still mostly un-developed nature like I've heard?

I guess a lot of NZ is still very much in the same state as it was when man first arrived here about 600 years ago. For example, I live in the city centre in Welligton, but my office looks over hills covered in native bush and trees. Much of the west coast of the South Island is national parks or uninhabited and the North Island has huge National Parks (reserves) around the central plateau. 
When I lived in Kelson (30 min drive from central Wellington) two years ago, this was pretty much my view out the rear of the house:



Sometimes in NZ you feel like humans only really have a toehold on the land - and that the native forests will take over again you turn your back for too long.

Yeah, Atlanta's not bad.  A nice little island of blue in a sea of red.

Most importantly, it's the home of the Flight of the Conchords

What country could be better than my own, Switzerland?

Thailand, one of the most tolerant countries on earth.

Hi well I been over more then half the US and Canada but I must say that here in BC is probably one of the nicest and friendliest places I lived at, that includes TS friendly for the most part in the Vancouver area as well. Much of the outlying areas is rain forest especially Vancouver island.

Not my homecountry.

No one's mentioned Ibiza. Has it gone downhill recently?

As a TG, I like Wellington better than Auckland to live in and the westside of south island is a dream for me.

As a TG, I love tiny NZ enough to put up w/ earthquakes, tornados, erupting volcanos, floods and racism.

Racial violence towards Asians abound, in large parts of the South Isle. Police violence towards asian too. I was there.

I now live NYC, because it's very easy to meet lots of new people everyday.

Few people here are rich enough to go to Ibiza, much less live there.
