Where is better to live : in Europe or in USA?

So which plase the best?And which country/state and city? :)

Based on a few cities...

London v New York - hmmm, unsure
Amsterdam v San Francisco - hmmm, unsure
Paris v L.A. - Paris
Berlin v Austin - hmmm, unsure
Rome v Chicago - Rome
Prague v Vegas - Vegas
Barcelona v New Orleans - Barcelona

So Europe for me, but then I'm European. Love all but two of the US cities mentioned above though, and one of them 'won'.

UK .cumbria..... or scotland

Everywhere is nice if u are rich, everywhere crap if u are poor

The USA is so insular so its better to be in Europe

Europe and anywhere as long as it's not London, too noisy, polluted, dirty and uncaring mad place.

Europe...I'm originally from the US, lived all over the world, and I have to say, Europe, Europe, Europe.

I live in Europe and have lived in many countries including USA and even though I could not say a bad thing about my time in the US, there is no place like home!

MARS!

Europe a little too diverse, and it depends by what guidelines you judge quality of life. Eastern Europe certain doesn't have a higher quality of life than the US, although North and West Europe, while contentious, could be said to have a higher quality of life. I would certainly think so. More freedom, more social liberties, and better economic security here than in the US.

Archer - US has greater freedom - LOLOLOLOLOLOL; where are you from, the praries? Still believe in manifest destiny? The guy with the dog pic made a good point, Americans are awfully insular and are quick to point to outdated principles (okay, Britain has a monarchy; okay you have the American dream...both are as fake as each other) rather than look at the practicalities of the situation.

Don't listen to the people saying the UK is inferior to the rest of Western Europe. These are the sort of people who would say their country is the worst wherever they were.

P.S. Isabele is correct, as a Cumbrian I can confirm that it rocks.

Europe right now, except the UK.
More vacations, better currency, just more modest a living.

god bless america

europe
but not london
maybe countries like france, swiss.. etc

in europe it is more liberal, but the US is the land of opportunity!

Europe. Switzerland or UK

USA!!!!!!!!

What makes a place "best" for you?
Freedom? USA
Standard of living? USA
High taxes and prices? Europe
Autobaun? Europe

My personal preferences are: North Carolina - Outer Banks
Montana - Mountains and snowy winters.
