    It's here in Key West Florida. 

    A small house costs the same as a NT penthouse, the place fills with
    tourists everyday and you can't drive faster than 25mph for fear of
    hitting one, there are wild chickens and cats all over the place and
    the homeless from all over the USA winter here, we get hurricanes and
    tropical storms but... 

    The people are the most generous, kind, caring folk I have ever met,
    the community celebrates its diversity, the kids are great, we all
    look after each other, (we're currently arguing about where to put
    the new shower facilities for the homeless) there are 23,000 of us
    and we raise over 20m for charity every year. The streets are safe at
    night, the police call you by your first name, (the judge calls you
    by your nickname!) there are so many restaurants that you can go to a
    different one every night for about a year and it's hard to find bad
    food. 

    Oh, and the weather, most of the winter it's around 80 and the
    summer is about 85-95. 

    I'm English and moved here with by significant other (yup, gay
    couple 25 years together) in 2000. Mum came to visit in 2001 and
    refused to go home (she's 76) so she moved here too. 

Now don't all rush!
