Ask HN: If you could work remote where would you live?

In the current climate it appears remote working will be more common. So where would you want to move too? Or would you become a nomad? Or is current home, perfect?

#2Conifer Colorado.
Close to Denver. High elevation town at 8200 feet, homesites to 9800 feet elevation. Adequate internet. Cheaper than Evergreen, and a bit higher. High elevation is good for health. Wildlife (deer, migratory birds, elk, foxes and the occasional Black Bear). Small town but has what is needed. (Grocery, vet, medical, dentist, car repair, chain saw shop) Same distance from ski areas as Denver. Lots of snow in winter, and mild sunny summers.

#4I live in Cambridge and its perfect for my needs, for now. Small university town, everything at bikeable distance, cosmopolitan: if I want to meet a person from any country or experience their cuisine, eveything is available here. London is just an hour away by train. And companies like Microsoft, Apple and IBM have their offices here. The only problem is that in UK its extremely hard to get a sense of community and make new friends - especially with the native Brits, who prefer to be aloof and not really interested in connecting beyond the surface

#5Deepest darkest corner of New Zealand, as long as it has an internet connection. Starlink can't come fast enough.

#6Astoria Oregon. I'd buy a glass house on the side of the bay.
The twist is I could probably arrange that, but my daughter lives in So Cal.

#7If I can get a tiny home on wheels, I'd give that a shot.
If I can move with a community that wants to be nomadic I'd try that.
If not, Vegas, here I come :)

#8Outside the US, definitely. Berlin sounds pretty cool.

#9On a small sailboat outfitted with batteries and solar panels. Ideally I'd dock only once every few days to take meetings/sync my data/connect to the internet, and then head back to open waters.

#10I'm going nomad for a while and going to live in a travel trailer. I'll probably buy multiple air cards from different phone providers to make sure I have a good connection. This way I can visit the communities I have roots in for extended periods of time while still exploring other places in the U.S.
