2 years and you still haven't moved?!!?! Jebus cripes, I though I was indecisive. lol.

Everyone and their mom is leaving the bay, you should too. Just make sure you buy some investment properties before you leave for when things go back to normal again.

I will probably work from home. Don't want it to be super high population like the city I'm in, but moderate town is fine. Honestly a nice suburb might be fine, within vicinity of a town.

Aesthetically I like lakes and mountains, trees, green, rolling hills, not flat ground.

One significant consideration now is that I'll be a single late-30's guy, so don't want to go too rural.

Luci im assuming you can work remotely? If so.



Charlotte metropolitan area of NC is great. Look at Huntersville-Davidson area.

Asheville NC (leans heavily left but county is deep red) really great vibe, lots of fun, beautiful scenery.

Knoxville TN is awesome. Beautiful scenery, affordable, lots of culture.

Charlottesville/Lexington are great smaller towns in VA. Not for me in terms of long term living but worth a shot.

Charleston SC is beautiful rich in culture, food and a fun nightlife. Slightly higher crime. Becoming packed, traffic is bad and some people are getting burnt out and leaving.


Im from Charlotte originally and current live in Raleigh. I MUCH prefer the Charlotte area to Raleigh but many enjoy the triangle as well.

My vote based on what you have listed in Asheville NC or Knoxville TN.

Edit: I see you can work from home. Head to NC Luci.

Thanks dude, very informative. I'm currently leaning towards west NC / east TN area. I'll probably narrow my search there.

I'll just deal with the hot summers I guess.

Also considering Nashville, TN. Might be better for dating, but worse for the other areas. Asheville, wonder if that'll limit my dating options too much.

My sister in law is from Asheville. I wouldn't go there if I was still looking for a chick. That town is full of drug addicted, dirty hippy types and the normal ones tend to GTFO ASAP.

For example one of her high school friends is a fukn pharmacist there so not exactly low class and her bf looks like a soundcloud rapper and doesn't have a job. They are doing stuff so illegal I would never have dreamed up during even my most don't give fuk degenerate days. This is your run of the mill chick from Asheville

Colorado or Montana always seemed appealing. I'm basing my judgment on the landscapes. Looks beautiful out there. West coast as well. Not too sure about the people, though.

People are flocking to Nashville like there's no tomorrow, something to consider.

If you don't mind the heat, Alabama and Louisiana are awesome states with great nature, low COL and plenty of space. There's a college in Lafayette since you mentioned dating.

NC is going to turn blue in a few years. Its on its way there. People from NJ and NY are moving there in droves. God help them all.

Stay away from Cary. Cary = Concentrated Area of Relocated Yankees.

Right now leaning towards NC, SC, VA areas.
Speaking from experience, SC is hot and humid in general...even the upstate.

Donโ€™t know where others are talking about hot women...ainโ€™t seen that many and obesity seems to run rampant. Only time I see a noticeable uptick of hot women is during football season.

It fits most your other requirements though...

Montana

Maybe Denver depending which suburb But youโ€™d like COS better

Bellingham WA , college town but is pretty moderate with a smaller feel

Spokane but you wonโ€™t be in the PNW , youโ€™ll be Close to the Rockies

Bend, OR is supposedly Pretty tight

You said mountains and lakes but if youโ€™re willing to move to California thereโ€™s a lot of nice gems on the mid and northern coast

NC is your best bet as Far East coast goes

Itโ€™s the nicest state one that side , I drove up to mt Mitchell , it was really nice and have spent time in cape hatteras and the OBX

The only other state Iโ€™d pick is LA but thatโ€™s because Iโ€™d think Itโ€™d be badass to own a mansion on or close to the bayou

Stay in the Bay and keep chitting it up. The housing market throughout the mountain West is absolutely psychotic right now thanks to Californians moving out.

BRB $600K median home price in Denver.
BRB $410K in Boise.
BRB $440K in Salt Lake.
BRB $340K in Missoula
BRB $390K in Coeur d'Alene
BRB $344K in St. George
BRB BRB BRB BRB BRB

Overpriced, overcrowded, already full. Stay away.

Just realized opie says he wants mountain backdrops with light snow

So Montana and CO are out

PNW is the answer , thereโ€™s more to it than Seattle and Portland

Iโ€™d stick with Washington , no state income tax and relaxed gun laws

I should reveal my bias here too. Most of my friends are either Eastern US (because people in western US suck), or Western Europe so I am pretty biased towards that for the time difference and distance factor.

Unless there's a significant differential benefit to living in the PNW, I'd probably chose eastern areas.

pac nw is beautiful, but if you want sunny weather look elswhere. also its VERY liberal in the cities (more so than NYC even), but fairly moderate in the suburbs and rural areas. no state income tax, can still buy ar15s etc.

very insular culture. its either white natives that are not open minded(all their extended families are in the pacnw) or indians/chinese h1b immigrants (which all stick to themselves). google the "seattle freeze"

Utah, Nevada, and Colorado didn't really appeal to me aside from the beautiful backdrop in Boulder. That town seems super insular though, with obnoxious people.

Although I'm sure there's good areas in CO. You can find decent areas almost anywhere.

Wyoming and Idaho, never visited. Also hear eastern Oregon is nice.

Charlotte is great but I lived there for 20 years. I may come back eventually. Asheville is baby Portland from my experience. Raleigh isn't for me, but plenty of fun nights were had in Chapel Hill and Raleigh during college.

Charleston is kinda overrated...The city is cool but I would hate to live there.... James Island/Folly Beach with the occasional night in the city is a good lifestyle though. Their food and drink culture is the best in the Southeast. They get rocked by a hurricane every year though.

Why would opie need to hang out at a university ? I would hope he already finished school. A lot of people who go to school in a college town donโ€™t stay there, they look in major cities where the jobs are. Bellingham is beautiful and quiet though, itโ€™s practically in the woods.

If Antifa comes close to your house just tell them to get the **** off your lawn and point your ar-15 at them , pretty sure WA has a castle doctrine.

Unlike commiefornia where there is no stand your ground law or castle doctrine. If you blow a hole in someoneโ€™s leg for attacking you here , youโ€™re going to prison too. Doesnโ€™t matter if they where trying to kill you.

If itโ€™s anywhere near the coast the DA is gonna prosecute your ass, 50/50 in more red areas Iโ€™d guess.

Olympia is nice too but too close to Seattle and is liberal af.

I donโ€™t understand this whole get away completely from liberals thing. Theyโ€™re everywhere. Just move to a state with reasonable laws that you like And to a city without a clown council.

Almost every city in US votes blue if it has more than 200k people.

Dallas is liberal. They vote blue but why do people move there ? Because itโ€™s in Texas and Texas is a very well run state.

Wyoming and Idaho, never visited. Also hear eastern Oregon is nice.
Boulder's a transplant city filled with the same people you want to leave in the Bay. Small town Mountain West is all filled with salt of the earth people. The attitude is basically hardcore Trump-ish conservatism coupled with Midwest humbleness and understatement.

That's how you know it's too big, lmao.

The one thing I did like about Dallas is that Dallas is a big city that knows it's a big city. Yes, it's coupled with Texas's right wing attitude (no mass transit for you!), but their freeways are huge and were planned to be huge, the airport was planned to be huge, the suburbs sprawl without giving a phuck about "muh nature"... like you don't get the nimby chit of CA or the growing pains of explosive expansion like Austin, because DFW was always intended to be a huge soulless city. No one has a sign that says "Keep Dallas Weird." It's a metroplex the size of a small phuckin state and it acts like it.

- Have the option to go into the city sometimes, and I may need to since I work in tech.
- Like lakes, mountains, rolling hills (over beaches, flat midlands etc.).

Right now leaning towards NC, SC, VA areas.
Somewhere around Washington DC is a sweet spot for town, but close to civilization and transport to the entire East Coast, also lots of opportunity in most fields.

It is basically the Virginia area.

However, you can jump on a train and check out Philly, NYC, etc and it's easy.
