re: If you could live anywhere in the country where would it be

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

Say both you and SO were remote making about 200k combined. Where would it be.

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.

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.

Idaho

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.

Charleston, SC

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

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)

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.
