I am an American living in Cape Town - I am here wholly be choice and could leave at any time, and I can honestly say it is the most beautiful place in the world and there is no where else I would rather be (I have lived in Brazil, US, UK, Australia, Germany, and Canada and traveled extensively throughout the world).

You guys who are ruled by fear are missing out on life.

I would recommend living in Bantry Bay or Fresnaye if you can afford it. Definitely be in town. Centry City is too far out and VERY windy!!!
