In the dead tree version (page 21) of the September 2012 National Geographic, those two cities are best in USA to live in.

For the world, Vienna took the top spot.

5. The Hawaiian Islands are also destined to turn into nothing

They're slowly being eroded.

6. So where should I move to in another 3 million years? nt

7. Hopefully by then we'll have some sort of colony somewhere in space

You can hitch a ride on a rocket and get the hell outta dodge.

8. yes, but it is also making a new island as we speak (still underwater tho) nt

[Cali_Democrat]

9. So people can island hop as the pacific plate moves and new islands are formed over the hotspot

Just move Honolulu to the next island
