Well, just don’t screw it up. You must let go of all Washingtonistic beliefs. Sounds like you are off to a good start. Had we foreseen current events we may have chosen a different retirement location.

We have a modest home (1100 square feet) on a 1/5th acre lot in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. The value has barely climbed 4% per year, sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less, since we bought it shortly after the start of the new millennium.

During the craziness last summer, it suddenly jumped from $150K to $180K. Just people wanting to get out of the craziness of our nearest big city, Pittsburgh, about an hour to the northwest. We even had people calling and writing with cash offers.

Since China's puppet emperor took office, it has risen to a modest $190K in the past year or so. After the county delivered a stinging rebuke to the Democrat party in the election earlier in the month (ever D swept out of office, including a couple of decent ones for whom I actually voted), Zillow now has us at $220K.

That's how crazy things are getting, people. It doesn't hurt that we have at least four Pennsylvania state troopers living in our neighborhood and parking their cruisers in the driveway.

I could have written this about California to Idaho.

Had to laugh at this: “By May, I was indignant enough to rip the caution tape off the playground”

By May 2020, I was ripping all the damned caution tape off of park benches in the parks on the San Francisco peninsula. I couldn’t think of anything more preposterous than keeping everybody off of a park bench. For what? That two people might be three feet apart for a few minutes? I’m sure if you could analyze every single COVID transmission in the world, you’d find ZERO cases of two people sitting outdoors on a park bench transmitting COVID.

The yellow caution tape on park benches told me everything I needed to know about the insanity of the whole situation.

Even worse, they shut down all the parks on the Peninsula and put traffic cones on all the nearby streets to prevent people from even parking nearby and walking into a park.

Actually, it was quite nice for a few months because I continued to get into the parks and had them all to myself. Especially after I ripped down the damned yellow caution tape.

You got it. Just follow the dots. EX - The move from LA county to Orange county these leftists now equal in population. They ruin everything they touch.

The Democrats will make sure every formerly decent middle class neighborhood will have ugly high rises built for free housing for illegal aliens and “refugees.” They need millions of new gimmiedat voters.

I just vacationed in the state in August. Nice scenery. The eastern half is agriculture and west half is ranching and has the mountains. I visited Custer, Rapid City and Chamberlain. Turns out commentator Tomi Lahren is from Rapid City. I enjoyed Custer State Park and The Badlands.
Here is more on the state:

Welcome to my home state, South Dakota. My family came there to homestead when it was still a territory and my father was born in a sod house on the wind swept prairie. I grew up in a small town that still had Saturday night band concerts every summer on a small town square and a parade every Memorial Day. Sure the summers are hot and the winters cold, but the people are welcoming and still believe in the American dream.

Sadly due to job and family I now live in the People’s Republic of Minnesota a socialist utopia with riots, car jackings, defunded police and COVID madness. However, South Dakota will always be my home and example of how great this country used to be.

Good. Now don’t F things up. The first tie you think, “back in Washington they did this cool thing...”. Stifle yourself.

Enjoy Philadelphia and it’s utterly retarded violence and lack of culture. Enjoy feces on the streets in San Fran. Enjoy bums everywhere in Seattle. Enjoy communist riots in Portland. Enjoy the house prices in Denver. Enjoy the black murder epidemic in Chicago.

We enjoyed walking through the country club adjacent to our neighborhood during the lockdown. I averaged 20,500 steps per day May 2020.
