Yep, I doubt living in the U.S would suit me. For a start, I don't drive. And I like walking. I also like the hustle & bustle and convenience of street life.
Though places like San Francisco, and New York would be o.k.

chicago would be good for you too steve.

the US city ive spent the most time in has turned out to be the least convenient. st louis is the most decentralised city iver ever encountered. i like to walk as well... and i will walk as far as im able, but st louis is a city of satellites. ive got it figured less than i like cause its a drivers city but i am on my way to conquering her public transport system... but seriously its a major mindfuck.... heck even heLA is more user friendly.

I recommend the West Coast, though, that's just me.
