My job is remote, and I chose Melbourne, FL. No income tax, great weather, and it feels like a small town with big town amenities. I may move again when my rental time is up just to see more, but this place is quite nice.

#12I 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?
Seemed like the kind of place you have to drive around a lot, which you may or may not care about. Not super crowded == everything is spread out. The vegetation was lush and the public bike infrastructure was pretty legit downtown at least, so its got that going for it.

#13Los Angeles would be more ideal if you don't have a commute, I think. Just stay in your little beach community around Venice or Long Beach.
I'm often wishing New Orleans had a bigger tech scene, it's a beautiful town.

#16My 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…
Ah fellow Queenslander, I'm about an hour and a half north of Brisbane. My grandparents own a farm about that same distance north of Brisbane as well though.
