Consider South Dakota. There are many small towns with cheap housing, no state income tax and a generally conservative population. These towns are also crying for doctors, nurse practitioners, teachers and lawyers. The cons...big extremes in weather and rather isolated

Well, the isolation wouldn't be a problem, as I grew up in a "town" (unincorporated) so small that "Welcome To" and "You Are Now Leaving" signs were on opposite sides of the same post.

BUT...no way in heck could I stand the winters. A work colleague and very good friend moved back to SD (born there) after a work career in south Louisiana. Yeesh......forty below zero with NO wind chill factored in.

I agree, but tell any liberals you know, that South Dakota is a terrible place to live. Thanks
