I was already remote, but I’m moving from Seattle to Denver. Combination of family and a more favorable climate. The somewhat lower cost of living doesn’t hurt, but it’s not like Denver is cheap .
I'm actually picking between Seattle and Denver. What about the climate is better between the two?
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.
Montana has terrible internet, no local tech jobs, and is below zero for weeks in the winter. I recommend Colorado.

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?
As someone who went to the CHOP multiple times through out the protests, I don’t agree with your characterization. My personal experience was not that of yours. It _was_ uncomfortable, but nobody makes change by staying in their comfort zone. As for the miles of filth and needles. I’ve seen too. I’ve seen it in New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Miami, the list goes on. When you have folks being displaced as rents and…
The solution was simple. Let police enforce the law. Crime skyrocketed and two young men were killed. Sexual assault went through the roof. First responder time went to 18 minutes from 5.

That's very interesting. What made you choose Yucatán specifically in comparison to other parts of Mexico or Central/South America?
My partner has family in the area, and the infrastructure (ISPs, city-wide wifi, power grid) is supposedly some of the best in Mexico (which would probably make it on-par or better to where I currently sit.) Tourist and expat investments have brought money to the area, and the city we're headed to is considered notably safe for North America generally, let alone Mexico.
Montana would be nice however my company refuses to announce any firm dates on when we possibly might need to return to the office which makes signing a lease troublesome

What about the climate in Denver is better than Seattle? Less rain, or at least rain less often? (Not saying you're wrong, I just wonder.)

Do you have any concerns about Crime and corruption on the rise in Mexico?
We tried to move to Santa Cruz. My significant other grew up near there and desperately wants to be near her friends again. Turns out, all the Bay Area peeps wanted to do the same. Rents haven’t gone down there and the competition is really fierce. (“Honey, what if you got a job at Looker/Google?! We could be in Santa Cruz forever!!!”) Started thinking about moving to Denver... But, I don’t really want to move yet. S…
What's "the" job? Are we talking founder or corporate ladder? How much does this dream house cost?
