In which fictional world/universe/land/city would you most like to live?

Without a doubt, the city of Newford, as imagined in the stories of Charles DeLint.

From a listing about Newford on the Internet Book List:

"The city itself has a soul, as a street busker timidly discovers, one night in a park.. She has to go though, her people have forgotten her, left her to decay. But he remembers.. Desert spirits might keep you company, cadging a smoke or playing the flute as you try to puzzle out the tangled threads of your life. ..There are some Roads that require guarding -even if it's only a part time job for a punk rocker.. And sometimes, if one dreams too strong, for too long, one might discover that one's dreams have a life of their own. ..And who's to say that it's less real than the waking one?"

Alternatively, Bordertown seems like a fine and interesting place to spend some time.
