Taking money out of the equation , where in the USA would you live ?

[Brads70]

So if money was not a concern WHERE and WHY would you chose to live in the USA ? And no family ties as to where you would live. ( Thinking kids or parents etc... )

Hawaii... If I need to explain it you wouldn't understand.... Yes I know it's got it's problems but honestly every place I've even been does..

Some place sunny.  Maybe Arizona.     It's hard to San Diego too.

Las Vegas, NV. Been there, love the climate and all the entertainment.

Carlsbad, CA - small town feel in Southern California, close to the beach, not a lot of traffic, consistently nice weather.

hard to say with limited travel experience, but out of all the places I've lived (WA/OR/ID/MT/CO/CA) I'd move back to the Portland/OR area in a heartbeat. still gets 4 seasons and lots of recreational activities within just a few hours (beaches, deserts, mountains, rain forest) and the attitudes of folks in the Pacific NW have always been some of the best folks I've dealt with.

I have researched a few extremely remote ranch's in Montana.  Both on the eastern side and in the rockies. east and west.
I really like the isolation that exists out there.

But I would have a really hard time only having one place.  So a place in Florida for the winter is a necessity. 


Otherwise, I hate to say I'm content, but here in Salida the people are about as nice as it gets and I have plenty of work.  Tons of recreation. The only thing we don't have is a "warm ocean"  beach.

I've been doing some looking/research? and keep coming back to Texas?  Lots of factors to consider like property taxes, , climate, geography, etc.... I'd like some place small enough that it doesn't have a Walmart but within 30 minutes to an hour of a bigger city not a metropolis though.
I used to think the Carolinia's were for me but a few things turn me off ( one is I have family there ...too close!LOL) and this stupid thing how they tax your car each year based on the value for your tag permit .
On facebook I subscribed to a page called " for the love of old houses" man I'll tell ya some of those deals seem unreal for what you get? Around here the housing is going crazy! I'm thinking I could almost sell and retire to somewhere else and have a nice chunk in my pocket! The house is paid off and my wife is a US citizen...... in five years or so kids will be gone.......

I keep telling my wife when I retire I'm heading to Texas but in 35 years who knows

Looks nice! I go on google maps then street view to rty and get a feel for how it looks. Fun to do I seem to spend some time these days doing that....

That changes everything.  When you put money back on the table, it's hard to beat Texas.  Great weather, tax friendly, and lots of affordable housing.  Partner, I could totally see myself living in Texas.  Yes sir.

There are some spots in northern California that I like.

Even with unlimited money for a home I keep getting drawn to Texas. Some of those homes/mansions in say Southlake Texas sure seem unreal! I can't even fathom having that much money but it's fun to dream! I've only been to Texas once to buy a Chevy Suburban ( Arlington area) I liked it ok, but never got to look around much....

[Cuda Cody]

I've been once too.  And everyone was super nice.  Really liked it and could see why someone would want to live there.  You seriously thinking of moving?  Then I have to tell you about a secrete place known as Brush Prairie, WA.     Come up here and be my neighbor!
