WA. No state tax. Nice nature. Not completely overrun with corona like most of the other no tax states. Post pandemic, somewhere in Western Europe hopefully. Some place that actually cares about its residents unlike this shithole country that's doing everything in its power to ensure the most corona cases and deaths possible.

No nationalistic flamebait here please.

No regional flamebait either for that matter.

If it were just me and I could go anywhere: In US, I would get somewhere with a lot of land. Montana, ND, Wyoming, something like that. Outside US, Probably Norway for a while. Would also love to try out New Zeland or SE Asia.

Curious why Norway? Which city?

Serious question. Do you think they care about the hundreds of businesses, many LGBT owned, that were closed, destroyed, or extorted by the peaceful protestors of CHAZ/CHOP? About citizens who slog through miles of filth, shit on the sidewalks, and needles on the ground?

Florida or TX, no state tax and relatively warm weather than NY where I stay now.

There might not be any state tax, but the property taxes are nuts.

Truth. I don't believe there is any way my home appreciation will outpace my property taxes.

It of course depends on where you live, but if you want to live anywhere that's desirable near city centers..

Hawaii if flying didn't feel risky(virus) and logistics were easier. The 2 week quarantine makes a hard move harder. I'm not sure I actually want to be in a hotel. I am "settling" lol for Santa Cruz. I really thought I wanted to live in so cal for awhile too but watching the reactions to blm and covid makes me second guess that. Actually made me really unsure where I might want to live. Also thought about Florida in…

Isn’t Florida, in most places, worse than SoCal in terms of response to BLM and Covid?

15k a year for me. Approx 7.5 to the various Governments and the other half to schools. Those 5 million $$$ sports complexes and artificial turf football fields at the middle school (Grade 5-8) aren't going to build themselves....

Meanwhile they can't create a decent online curriculum so kids can learn from home.

It's a joke. Teachers and the School Districts get whatever they ask for because voters are too stupid to figure out what it costs them. I guy I work with doesn't even know how much he pays in tax every year since it is in escrow with his mortgage payment. He just votes yes because it's for the kids you know.....

Either coastal Carolinas or Hawaii. We like living near the ocean and access to good outdoors activities on land. Coastal Carolinas is much more affordable than Hawaii and more access to certain outdoor activities (hunting and freshwater fishing). Also not as isolated as Hawaii.

But Hawaii looks incredible. I hope to visit them both and make a decision when more things are open in both places to get a feel for them.

I think both are probably close to tech wastelands so will need to have employment that allows remote from those states to do it.
