#2My job is remote and I choose to live in Los Angeles, CA. This is the same city as when I worked in an office, and with family, friends, my wife's job, and my daughter's school and friends it would be hard to leave. The weather, diverse population, entertainment, and the beach are huge draws as well.

#3I would try Austin, Texas. The weather is not extremely cold or hot. The cost of living is reasonable. It's not super crowded. And if I lost my job, there's a growing demand for tech workers.
Are there any Austinites that can comment on this?

#4My job is remote. I moved to a hobby farm on the outskirts of Brisbane, Australia. So 45-70min commute to the CBD depending on traffic
Is a great lifestyle if you like the outdoors whiles giving access to a major city. I used to live in Sydney but couldnt buy a farm without being 2+ hours commute to CBD.
The blend of being on the keyboard most of the day but jumping on the tractor/motorbike/chainsaw etc at the end of a day gives a feeling of balance. Its hard work and takes over your life with animals, but if you like this stuff is really wholesome living.

#5Honestly theres no where I'd settle, but I think some staying in some far out cities could be interesting for a few years. I'd try something like Juneau, Alaska a shot,despite being tiny, it looks beautiful

#6I'm fully remote, enjoying Western Montana. I'm in a small town on Flathead Lake with mountains in my backyard. I couldn't imagine much better. ATVs, archery, guns, fishing, boating, and more.

The average high is 90 or above for the entirety of the summer, and above 95 for an entire month. That is pretty hot in my book.

Hey! I’m from the Flathead valley (Yellowbay & Kalispell). We should get coffee when I’m back in town.

#10My first serious programming job was fully remote I immediately moved to the island of Guadeloupe. It was great.
My current job is fully remote... I live in the San Francisco Bay area, am I doing this wrong?
