Threads like these are pretty futile, most on this forum were parachuted into one particular spot for work or their partner's work and have never lived anywhere else in the US. I've been here 10 years and have lived in New York and Florida and now Illinois. Having been to California several times, I'd run like a thoroughbred the other way if that was on offer, just so overrated. Expensive, huge wealth inequality, a lot of snobs, not much of a 24 hour culture compared to the east coast. I'd go Texas out of any of them, amazing weather, good standard of living and low taxes with any half decent job. Great food there as well, proper portions, not like those shitty European style portions you get in California. Good luck
it depends where you're coming from I suppose. Summer is approaching quickly and suddenly paying a small fortune for a new a/c unit upstairs sounds like a brilliant idea. I take the kids to Colorado to escape Tx. That's where I'd go if I could. Fabulous scenery, snow, cool nights in the summer,mountains, rivers. It takes me 2 days to drive there and it's worth it. And I live in Austin which is pretty nice. For Texas.

The Op said: Which State would you live, AK,WA,OR,CA,TX; Anywhere on the west coast within 50 miles from the Ocean. Lived in WA and CA, know OR, first choice Northern CA. That's my choice for what it's worth. Couldn't even imagine living anywhere in the south. I definitely do no like cold weather, no ice no snow.

Not this trip but perhaps on your next, you can come and visit us in Mississippi. We're only an hour north of the Gulf and 1-1/2 hours east of NO. Will warn you, however, Jim will try to steal your trike. He took his bike down to MS and is looking to convert it.

Would love it. Have a guest room with a private bath and plenty of room for the trike. I will be moving there permanently on the 21st of June. So keep that destination in mind.

We're ready for our trip. Bright lights so we can travel easier in the dark.
Destination right now is Arkansas, we leave on Wednesday!
