Asheville, North Carolina, is the San Francisco of the South. It is run by hippies and retirees in equal numbers and offers plenty of NYT-sanctioned activities.
Huge Queen Anne Victorian in the historic neighborhood of Montford, a short walk from downtown Asheville. Built in 1900. Almost 4,500 square feet. Sky blue with gingerbread-house-like trim. Fireplace, wraparound porch, and turrets included.
Property is zoned "RM8," which presumably means something to somebody.
B is for Bisbee!
Bisbee, Arizona, is the San Francisco of the Southwest. It's an artsy town in the mountains near the Mexico-America border, so lots of Weeds-like hijinks ensue! At least in my imagination. A guy there makes killer Killer Bee Honey.
Mmmmmmm ... pool. Also four bedrooms to house all the jealous friends from New York who insist on flying out to use your pool.Outside features include "Rv Hookup, Rv Parking, Sprinkler/drip," while landscape includes "Fruit Trees, Shrubs, Desert, Grass, Gravel, Trees." Can't argue with that diversity! Plus your kids get to go to school in a district called Tombstone.
C is for Copenhagen!
Copenhagen is in Denmark, which is the San Francisco of southern Scandinavia and has abolished poverty and injustice. Well, almost.
I have no idea how easy it is to buy property over there, but apparently a 3-BR townhouse can be had for the equivalent of $350,000 US. Do you know what $350,000 US will buy you in Brooklyn? A garage in Bay Ridge next to an open sewer. (I'm guessing.)
D through F coming soon!

Do you have a desire to move to San Francisco? I encourage that!
Why don't we all live in Copenhagen? This is not a rhetorical question.
I just want to live in places that are LIKE San Francisco, apparently. :) But how is it over there?
Britta, let's move to Scandinavia! We can do it, right?
