In college I stayed for a few months at our cabin, an hour away from home, otherwise I’ve never lived more than 40 miles away from the house I was raised in.
No one yet has lived in a bunch of cities in the same state and only that state…you and I were close. If I had done this list four years ago, I would have had six cities all in WA, but not now.
I’m sure there are lots of reasons, but it’s interesting.
Damn you! (shakes fist)
You just ruined my observation! And Bogarted me at the same time!
Livingston, NJ
Acton, MA
Bellevue, WA
Hanover, NH

26 residences in 15 cities in 8 states. Between first grade and college graduation, I attended 8 different schools. Dad was not military; he was a minister.
Just moving around the Houston area for work puts me at near a dozen. (Clear Lake City, Bellaire, Spring, Pasadena, Deer Park, Kemah, South Houston, Pearland, Friendswood, Baytown, and Houston). Yeah, I was an apartment dweller.
I’ve also lived in the L.A. area, the San Fran area, the Denver area (incl Denver), OKC and surrounds, Padukah, Sioux City, Milwaukee area, Henderson (east Texas), some small places in MT, and some other places that a stout drink on an empty stomach are preventing from being recalled at the moment.
Stanford, CA
Cambridge, MA
Sacramento, CA
San Francisco, CA
Aside from college, I’ve lived in California my entire life.
In order:
Chattanooga, TN
Waterville, ME
Murfreesboro, TN
Nashville, TN
Ridgeland (Jackson), MS
Sandy Springs (Metro Atlanta), GA
Knoxville, TN
Boardman (Youngstown), OH
Tucson, AZ
Decatur (Metro Atlanta), GA
Decatur is an actual separate city, but I don’t remember if Sandy Springs is (or if it was when I lived there - it might be now, but I don’t know)
Only 3 cities, but also lived for a while in an unincorporated rural part of the county.
Redwood City, CA (3 yrs)
San Jose, CA (12 yrs)
Unincorporated El Dorado county, CA (9 yrs)
Sacramento, CA (19 yrs and counting)
I’ve lived my entire life within the City Limits of Sacramento.
Anything more than a month:
Dunkirk-Fredonia, NY (counting them as one because they basically blend together and have only around 25K residents total)
Mayville NY (counting it even though it only has a couple thousand residents)
Ithaca NY
Sarasota FL
Orlando FL
Palm Bay-Melbourne FL (technically separate cities with several hundred thousand residents combined, but Palm Bay doesn’t really have a downtown area.)
So, 6.
New Smyrna FLA
Miami FLA
West Carrolton OH
Simi Valley CA
Long Beach CA
Los Angeles CA
Interesting. That’s not the job I’d think of that has to move around a lot, but I guess some do.
Are you originally from Wapato? I spent most of my life in the Tri-Cities, mostly Pasco.
Phoenix AZ
Roswell NM
Bellevue WA
Kirkland WA
Milwaukee OR
Boise ID
Scottsdale AZ

Kingston, Ontario
Kingston Township, Ontario, which was once a separate municipality but is no longer
Toronto, Ontario
Mississauga, Ontario
Burlington, Ontario
So five. However, in broken up fashion, so actually it went like this:
Kingston Township, 2 residences
Burlington, 1 residence
Kingston Township again, 1 residence
Kingston (actually moved to this city; they merged after I moved) 3 residences
Mississauga, 1 residence
Toronto, 1 residence
Mississauga again, 1 residence
Burlington again, 3 residences
Mississauga and Burlington are of course in the Greater Toronto Area but are significant cities in their own right; Mississauga has 700,000 people. Burlington is pushing 200,000 and is, I believe, the largest city in the world named “Burlington.”
Every day of my life my permanent residence has been within 2000 metres of Lake Ontario.
