I'm not currently in a high cost city, nor am I planning on moving soon, but if the right conditions presented themselves I'd consider spending a few years in Alaska. I'm absolutely sick of hot climate, so the polar opposite would at least be interesting. It also looks absolutely beautiful and could provide an idyllic sort of solitude. Not sure if I would want to live there long term though.

Away from cities and governors who don't know basic science and stats. Know any states with competent leadership? I do not recommend Colorado, some of the worst air pollution in the country, much to my surprise. Rent is getting out of hand too Thinking about New England, or at least north enough for Starlink!

Or look at Western Colorado. I live in Grand Junction and enjoy a walkable downtown, easy access to a wide variety of outdoors, mid-sized university, and many of the amenities of a small city. And besides the current nearby wildfires, air pollution is not the issue it is on the Denver side of the Rocky Mountains

I need to be around plentiful water and trees

Well, go further east than Grand Junction, but not east of the divide. Granby, maybe. Or just east of the divide - Leadville, say.

I'm not sure that there's much of a tech scene in any of those places, though. Grand Junction may not have much, but everywhere else between there and Denver probably has nothing.

Colorado is not the state for me for many reasons. Not sure why everyone keeps suggesting places here that could never fit the requirements...

Some of the worst air in the country

Which states exhibit the strongest localism in their politics?
