The Red Strand, County Cork. actually I wouldn't really want to live in the cottage in the picture as the storms off the water in the winter are severe. A mile or 2 up the mountain would be nice and then could visit the strand on nice days.

... and wouldn't you know it, one of our kids chooses to live there.

In the U.S.A. I'd be choosing between San Francisco and Chicago. But most of my family is here in California. One of my grandma's was born in San Francisco. My immigrant ancestors all skipped the east coast (and proper immigration paperwork too) probably because they were afraid someone would find them.

I'd love to live in Amsterdam or Paris for some time, but only if a had a job that didn't suck and gave me plenty of time to wander, or I'd won a huge fortune in some lottery.

The other cities on your list are places I like to, or would like to, visit.

They still love Minnesota as do I. But, I am feeling the pull of California lately and I know we can swing it if we all get on the same page.

the biggest problem will be finding or making a water pump strong enough and still small enough that will be able to circulate all the water a household will need.

I love Amsterdam and London, but I've already been to those places so I picked the next place I'd like to go.

Next is Paris.

Now that it's legal in 4 states... I mean, props to Amsterdam for being ahead of the curve and all but the rest of the world will be caught up soon enough.

might look pretty like that in the evening, but during the day...not so much. I have lived in the Bay my entire life and have had plenty of cases of hearing about (and seeing) how filthy some of SF's neighborhoods are and about people who piss on the sidewalks.
As for the other cities, I have no strong preference towards any of them. I hardly ever get to go anywhere outside of the Bay or Humboldt County, so I would just be happy to travel somewhere else.
