1. I lived in Colorado and I kinda miss it, cost of living was lower then Chicago, better weather etc!
2. California Climate-Good all year long lol Cost of living-Depends on where you want to live. ie A one room apartment in Hollywood costs about the same as a 3 bedroom apartment or condo in Koreatown or another place. Job Market-Alot :D Crime-Unless you provoke the Crips or something you should be ok.
3. i live in wisconsin in a city called, johnson creek, it's right between madison and milwaukee, about 40 miles to each, and it's a very nice town. most suburbs of the big cities in wisconsin are very nice towns with low crime rates. i love it here in wisconsin. but i am a bears fan for sure :)
4. Why would you like to move to Wisconsin. I have never been there and have no intention to even go there for a visit. It must be only cows and farms. If you really want a great place to live with reasonable climate, cost, crime and good job markets consider Portland OR, Phoenix AZ or some cities in Texas.
5. Miami Florida. Job Market is large and growing, Miami is one of the leading international fiancial centre's in the world, also a large buidling construction centre and aviation centre. Cost of living is high but not like other large cities like DC, San Fran, LA, New York. Crime is high but only in certain spots if you say out of the bad areas crime is low, much safer city than St. Louis, Atlanta, Orlando, LA. Climate is the second best in the US after Southern California. Weather is good all year round except for a hurriacne once in a while.
