a) buy half of Detroit
b) buy a nice townhouse in Vegas
c) buy a craphouse in the Bay Area

But that won't happen until late 2010 due to visa issues.

A friend of mine recently got back from Australia and I've looked into Melbourne. So far it looks promising - the AU dollar is weak and rent is ridiculously cheap compared to EU.

As a typical webmaster I don't really give a crap about the surroundings as long as I have broadband and a nice pad.

But if you were to choose, what would it be and why?
