Maybe this question will sound a little weird XD


I live in Mexico and I have always dreamed about one day live in a huge mansion, and have lots of exotic cars, I buy a lot of dupont registry magazines, hehe, watch MTV CRIBS and magazines about luxury homes and cars :tongue2:, and in this magazines I have seen ads showing hundreds of lambos,ferraris, etc in used car dealers, specially in Fort Lauderdale....so I would like you to suggest me a ¨car lovers ¨city with big mansions to see ..

The worst slum in America according to the U.S. Senate investigating committee is the "lousetown" section of Bethel, Alaska.

These people have obviously never visited Pine Bluff, Arkansas.

How many times has the entire sewage system of Pine Bluff frozen up, split, and dumped raw sewage on the ground for weeks to freeze again. In the spring it all thawed and flowed through the town streets.

Haha. Around here the sewage treatment plants overflow when it rains really hard. When that happens in Chicago they send all the overflow to an abandoned rock quarry.

North Shore of Long Island where my wife is from known as the Gold Coast. I picked up a brochure once from the local Ferrari dealer. The mansions are huge up there.

What's wrong with Mexico ........ I am sure with all the petro, telecoms, and other sources of new money floating around your home country there must be many suburbs of Mexico City or Guadalajara that would qualify!

Wailea or Kapalua, Maui, Hawaii

You dont see a lot of exotic cars but they do come out of the garages occasionally AND you get to live in Paradise. $2,000,000 doesnt exactly mean your getting a "large" home either but most people spend very little time inside so the view and proximity to the water determine price as much as size.


Anywhere that it snows is automatically off the list of "great" places to live. Some are great places to visit, but not live.

Lately in Mexico a lot of crime and violence has happened, and everybody lives with fear, and nobody rides in very luxurious cars, and most of the big houses are in private areas with security guards that call the police if you are watching the houses because you look suspicious, everyone here lives paranoic, including myself, if a nice car follows you for a little bit you think its a drug dealer that wants to kidnapp you, and many times it is, Mexico its the second place in the world with most kidnappings,

so you dont see a lot of nice cars in the streets lately

I'd say Miami, Florida is pretty damned good

take a cruise around on Star Island or take a jetski out in the bay, you'll see exactly what you're looking for

Miami is right up there with Detroit and D.C. on the list of dangerous places to live.

This is sort of like trying to tell someone what's the best engine oil to use: an impossible question.

In every one of the 50 there are some darn nice places to live. No one place/town/community is going to be all things to all people. My take on being able to sit on the patio popping crows with a 12 gauge while sucking on a Corona is entirely different from someone who wants to live in an "upscale" neighborhood with its carbon copy mailboxes, no gardens or clotheslines, and exhorbitant "association fees". In some of those communities you wind up in a lawsuit if you put your car up on jackstands to change the brakes. Either you join the croquet/canasta club with Muffy and Buffy, Wiffie and Bippy or you're a social outcast.
