Volcano too close.
The front’s gonna fall off any minute now, just you watch (it won’t happen until I move there)
The day before your volcano insurance kicks in.
Just make sure you’re east of the lake.
Minecraft biomes be like
Oregon
Victoria?
Penn island ≠ peninsula
In the legendary sci-fi book called Hyperion, one of the characters has a house where each room is on a different planet. That’s one of the things I remember most vividly from reading that book. I thought it was so cool.
seattle? anchorage?
West coast in general, no wonder so many people live in the bay area for example
I was going to throw in Sacramento. Your a 2 hour drive from everything, but you can drive to every major biome in the lower 48.
The big Island of Hawai’i. Everything from the desert to rainforest to volcano to the beaches.
It really is incredible. So many biomes on one island, like a Just Cause map.
Also some Mediterranean areas have this. Like Barcelona or Marseille are wedged right between ocean and foresty mountains, for example. This is actually a common thing.
Nanning is a city of 9 million, with mountains, countryside, forest, and ocean within 1 hour train ride.
Kunming is actually in the mountains, but no ocean, and probably my favorite place in the world.
Da Lat is a smaller city in the mountains proper, and the ocean is ~2 hours away.
An hour is a pretty long way by train, surely almost everyone has at least most of those things within an hour by train? If you drop mountain to hills then it’s even more accessible.
If you drop sea to puddle you’d make it even even more accessible
I live in a place that is a 3 hour drive (at 70+ mph) to the gulf, a 6 hour drive to the nearest mountain range (incidentally in another country) and about 4-5 hour drive to the nearest forest.
Oh, and I’m not in a small town, this is a city of 2.5 million people. With another city of 2.1 million people not too far away with the same issue.
So… A coastal mountain forest city 🤔 with… Treescrapers? I feel like that name could use work…
(Also I find its really nice to romanticise where I already am not just the other places. My neighbor is lovely and gifted me a pepper for helping carry out recycling to the recycling dumpster in my complex, and I have a little ledge where I put my plants ☺️☺️☺️)
You’re not gonna get permits to build in the redwood forest.
Just gotta start with no trees, build in a way that will be okay with root growth disrupting foundations, and then plant the redwoods and wait 500-1000 years!
Easy peasy, I see no way this can go wrong
Metro Vancouver fits the bill. North Van you can ski or mountain bike or hike (depending on season) in the morning, then go golf or sail for the afternoon.
Drop the city.
Calm down, Ultron
Toronto is not far from any of that (well, lake instead of ocean but it’s fresh water!)
Vancouver not far from better versions of all that (except maybe countryside?)
I used to live in Pacifica, CA and it fits all those requirements.
You want to live in Lebanon.
Lester Kitchens (Colton Dunn) In The Recruit S1 correct
Tokyo, Vancouver, Bilbao, probably any town in Chile, If you think they are cities probably Bergen and Cairns
Damn, now I feel special. I don’t want all of it, just in a broadleaf forrest (with a little bit colder climate) at the foot of a hill next to a lake. Which is very mucb achievable, even though I’d have to either learn Swedish, Norwegian… or move to Canada.
In my experience basically everybody in Scandinavia speaks English, you’ll be fine
Oops I’m already living this life in western Washington
Northern Queensland may fit depending on your definition of big city.
Too many Queenslanders there
The place that gave the world Pauline Hanson…
