Asked in downtown Chico.

Probably Washington because I have family there. Somewhere on the Olympic Peninsula.

Probably North Carolina. Somewhere close to the beach. Why not?

Oregon, probably. But that wouldn’t really fix the issue, would it? Southern Oregon though, like Medford or Ashland.

North Carolina. The cost of living is dirt cheap. A couple of my cousins moved over there. If you look at Idaho, North Carolina—all those states—the state tax, as opposed to the federal tax, is so much less. In California, you’re paying out the ass for everything.
I have lived in 9 states and traveled to 46 (missing north east states).
California has awesome weather and terrain. Best in the country.
Best states to live long term would be: Hawaii, Florida, Texas.
For quality of life/job opportunity: Texas, Florida, Hawaii.
I’m not a flatlander, so there would have to be mountains. I would probably move back to Colorado possibly near Colorado Springs.
I’ve lived in NYC. Country life for me!
If I could leave California I’d go to Arizona! Or possibly Idaho.
