While going thru all those posts, I wanted to jot down something realistic though it's like beauty lies in the eye of beholder. From my experience of being here in US just little over two years, listening to my friends and acquaintances who're here for years and going through Televisions, Newspapers and different websites frequently, following factors should be looked upon while we make relocation decision especially here in US:
1. The cost of living
2. The crime rate
3. Weather conditions
4. Job Opportunities
Though these four factors may have different hierarchy for different persons, I personally will go to look in for each of those factors and take a median to make my decision. Though the originator of this thread has particularly saught suggestion for west and/or southern side of US, my recommendation here would be northern virginia which is also considered as Greater Washington DC Metro Area. A very easy and nearest access to nation's capital, profound presence of large companies including banks and consulting companies, government contractors, federal agencies and renowned academic institutions makes this area a big platform for longterm and short term career opportunities. On top of that, northern virginia especially Fairfax county and Arlington County are secured to live and are center for nepalese settlements. Nice weather ( though it won't be like California) which includes but not limited to very rare tornados and snow storm and high speed wind makes this place even more appealing. When it comes to a family living, there are some of the finest schools including Thomas Jefferson School of Science and Technology in Northern Virginia. World Famous Universities like George Town, George Washington are here while emerging universitiy like George Mason also appeals growing number of students and another academic haven UVA is 2 hours drive from here.
There're a lot of reasons which will sufficiently strengthen my statement that Northern Virginia is one of the best place to relocate in . The cost of living however is not much cheaper but the presence of growing opportunities subsides that negativity hopefully.
