If You Could Choose

Western South Dakota or Wyoming for the scenery, lack of crowds and roads would be top choices but I'm not a big fan of the cold or snow. Funny thing about northern Illinois where I had been living for over 55 years, I always said if I ever move, it would be somewhere south where it would be warmer. And then I moved to Wisconsin! Circumstances have me locked in here for a bit though. My other choice would be somewhere in eastern Tennessee. Weather would be more mild, lower property taxes and my pension would be tax free.
 
Every place has trade-offs. I love the San Diego area. But hate the traffic and politics. Eight to nine months of the year, I'm very happy where I live. But summers can be brutal. So, I usually do a road trip for a month or so to get out of the desert heat. (I'm on one now. Currently in Washington State.) So, I guess I'll just stay where I am and dream of tropical islands.....
 
We became FL residents 11 or 12 years ago. There are numerous places we visited throughout the country but there isn't a State I would ever actually move to.
 
Western South Carolina. Greenville or Spartanburg area. Jim you can have the San Diego Area. I have lived here for 54 years. Too freaking old to move now. The only good thing about Southern California area is since I bought my house in 1982 is that it has increased in value about 900 percent.
 
I grew up in Canada and moved here at 26. Been here 33 . I love to go back and visit but I couldn’t live there again I don’t believe.
 
Upping stakes and moving can be an emotional pain. I was sent to Saudi Arabia for 3 years so it was easy for me. No roots. While there I met a lovely 5’2” 120lb Canadian gal who became my Visa/wife. 😀 The change was easy. Then I discovered free health care. Now free car license plates. Cheap home taxes ($1700/year) and almost nonexistent crime rate, lovely neighbours, clean air and quiet countrysides. A far cry from what I was used to.
Where in Canada are you? As you know all places in a country are not the same.
 
I was the opposite, met an American woman. I moved from Toronto to North Carolina. From Non affordable housing and property to low cost of living, . For me Canada was a great country … but I like the model here better. My property taxes are $1600 btw.. lol
I grew up in Northern New Brunswick though and there the cost of living is low but the Healthcare system there just sucks. All my Family is still there.
 
I have been to every state, there is a lot of crazy, beautiful, and or just plain cool places in this wonderful country, but I moved from the IL/IA/MO area on the Mississippi River down here to Kentucky 25 years ago and I have to say it is hard to beat. Great roads, paved even, hills, lakes, woods, decent cost of living, good health care in my area, I love it! Now if they would just get my trike titled.
