Montana, Vermont, Maine. Some place with VERY few people.

Wife and I split time in Idaho. There’s parts I would never want to live in and two places I like a lot. For us a place has to have an airport very close by (10 miles or so), a college, decent hospitals, and a walkable downtown.

I suspect most of the people the saying Idaho, Montana, Tenn, etc are looking for something much more rural than Boise


Boise is a great city, but downtown has a bit of a Portland/Seattle feel because of all the west coast transplants.

That’s not a good thing.

Right here, SWFL. 5 miles to the beach. God's waiting room.

Airport within 15 minutes, work is a 10 minute drive. Miami, Tampa, Sarasota, Orlando are all within a couple of hours for concerts. Key West, we can hop on the ferry for 3 hours and come back whenever.

Maybe Rockwall, Texas.
Vermont or Maine would be nice if there were no liberals.

I’m in Franklin TN at the moment which is great for schools, sports, business, etc… once boys are grown I’ll probably move out to Leipers Fork or Fairview area, anywhere West of Nashville where there is wealthy homogenous rural population.

I would not drive for tex mex either

I like proximity to medical facilities, big airports, concert or sports venues, etc. I will drive an hour or two for those things to live outside the city where most of my life stays in the small town.

My town has 30,000 people and I am 40 minutes from a city half the size of BR with same type of airport and 2 hours from a city twice the size of BR with anything we need. But day to day life is small town and it is way better than suburbs and traffic.

My town has tex mex. No italian though just chicago style pizza.

Somewhere with low humidity. This east coast air sucks in the summer.

I think Temecula may be that type of area for me. I've been thinking about moving there. I absolutely love that little town and it's only about 45 mins from SD.


GFs family lives there. It’s nice. Wineries are great, downtown is really nice, mountains around, but if you don’t like heat you’ll not enjoy it because summers are brutally hot.

Right where we live - The Villages, Florida. Moved here after we both retired 18 years ago, and haven't looked back.

I hear Wyoming is pretty empty. Empty sounds nice. I’m so tired of all these people everywhere I go. Traffic on every road, a line of cars at every drive thru, just people everywhere.

That eliminates my first choice, La Jolla.
Ditto.

And my second, Carmel.

Mrs Füt (no pics) can WFH, so realistically we could now live anywhere but choose to stay where we are due to family and friends and familiarity.

If she and I were orphans without kids and we woke up one morning with both of us having amnesia, we’d probably move to Vermont, New Hampshire, Utah, or Idaho.

Maybe Western North Carolina. (That sounds like an online college)

Ah, The Villages- home of key parties, swingers and chlamydia .. At least, that is the national perception.. Sounds like fun though !

Maine


New Hampshire is so much better it isn't even funny.

I just left Maine, was pretty disappointed. Bunch of communist / statist dumbasses up there who voted for the same thing over and over while expecting different results. a govt all too eager to shite on the right of the individual. Incredibly soft on violent crime, full of bleeding hearts who hate their police who actually are decent, an absurdly noticeable amount of trannies, drug use, and mental illness, and import and coddle 3rd worlders to the point one of their cities (Lewiston) is crime ridden, etc but refuse to acknowledge any of it. Even in the small cities they have up there people are completely eaten up with the current year progressive agenda. The drug use is pretty bad too, because it's the type of people that recreational weed simply isn't enough for them.


If it was more populated it would be a candidate for 'the Louisiana of the north.'

NH on the other hand was everything I thought Maine was going to be. Looking at property up there.
