the southeast (NC,VA, etc) is pretty nice, great weather, beaches and mountains close by. not good if you like living in big cities though.

if I were you I would consider either the bay area or LA, I personally prefer the bay area.

I'll put this debate in more perspective with background info.

I will not be buying real estate. I'm not a professional poker player, nor will I ever be one. I just got a Bachelor's degree in a useless major from a good school, meaning I have no real profession. I tan easily, I like going out.

So far, California seems to be a winner...

Well, no debate now really, sounds like either LA or San Diego.

But one can argue that Portland ~ Seattle. BRING IT!

One could also argue that Tango and Cash is an epic film- but they'd be wrong.

SEATOWN, WHUT.

Why Bay area rather than LA? Specifics welcome.

San Francisco (dense urban, walking, bohemian, staunchly leftist). Napa. Tahoe. Fog. Berkeley. Bay. Mount Tam. Diablo. Oaktown players got crazy game.

Went to college in Bay Area and visit every 3-4 months, grew up and live in LA. I go out a lot and if that is important to you, LA is much, much better than the Bay Area.

If food and overall atmosphere more important, then SF is the way to go, the city has a very quaint-yet-urban feel to it. In LA, there are little enclaves of cool areas, but you have to usually drive a bit to find them.

Overall, for a 20-something that wants to party and have good weather year-round(not including the current weather), you can't beat LA.
