I keep hinting to wifey about moving to Hawaii or Alaska or
Nevada.. the poodles could care less where we go.. too bad the state ‘brainiacs’ in gubamint don’t either.
Hawaii is politically worse. There is no one willing to work there it seems who didn’t fly in. Big dole state that survives due to the massive tourism dollars. Without that they would be a bigger Detroit than Detroit.
Alaska from my travels there is glorious. Unless you like the cold weather, I don’t know how you could want to live there. I am going there again by a cruise again though. Breath-taking place. Better by far than anything I’ve seen in Europe, Africa or in the Caribbean.
If you can live without a job for a while or live on a low wage job, Nevada could be good. Homes in Vegas are very nice for little money. School are questionable, but if you are middle aged with grown kids Nevada could be great.
If what you do for a living can be done anywhere, Nevada would be ideal. If you are retired it could be great.
Go IMO Green Valley near Henderson or Summerlin...
If I were not here for so long and were elsewhere deciding where to move to, California at this point would be an absolute mistake IMO. They are preceding by two years what Obama is trying to do nationally and the place is a wreck. Many parts are looking more and more like Mexico.
