If CA wasn’t a political, moral, and societal pit, the central coast is about as perfect as it gets. Cambria, probably. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By 67Firebird: I grew up in the suburbs, South of St. Louis, and always wanted to live more country. https://i.postimg.cc/MGpyJcVG/Rain-Trash_Can_Lid.jpg Now my view is much better. https://i.postimg.cc/V6xcP1dt/2024-2-13_Driveway_Gravel_(3).jpg I've shot deer from my bathroom window here. https://i.postimg.cc/D0V683Cn/2023-9-17_Two_Fawns_(3).jpg I've always viewed cities as places to do or buy things, and then immediately get out. I'd like to have the perfect weather, but still live out in the woods. Ideally I’d prefer a beach cottage with the next house a mile away an hour from the city but nothing like that exists anymore My ex wife was a city girl so I offsetted that with trips to Crater Lake, Lake Tahoe, Yosemite National Park. But she got me to also take her to other cities Paris, New York, Montreal, London etc She grew up in a city and had performances in a lot of European cities when she was young. I think Brittany France was the only non city she liked to return to regularly My Mom grew up rural but thought the city life was exciting. My Dad preferred the suburbs with rare trips to the city. Golf ⛳️ courses was his home away from home like his Dad |

If you consider politics probably Oklahoma or Kentucky. Personally I am moving to South Western South Dakota when I retire. I need to get away from all these Liberals in MN and still be close to family. Maybe Tennessee as well. California would be awesome weather wise, but we would have to kill all the Liberals first to make it bare able.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By CarmelBytheSea: Depends - if you prefer hotter and sunnier, San Francisco is usually cooler in the summer Monterey rarely goes over 80 on the hottest days in California and the 5 to 10 hottest days in the state of California reaching 100 degrees each year the Avenue of the Giants by Eureka is 70 degrees and Monterey usually goes to the high 80s or low 90s for record hot days Generally speaking the closer to the ocean the better the weather in all of California But there's other issues like traffic, cost of living etc that supersede weather I've lived in Santa Clara, Redwood City, Palo Alto, Alameda, Orinda, Oakland, Vallejo, San Francisco and Monterey Lived in Marina Del Rey, Redondo Beach, Inglewood, etc San Diego has decent weather Santa Barbara has decent weather But Stockton, Sacramento, Bakersfield, Fresno and Riverside are too hot for my tastes |

I have to heavily filter politics and weight it over weather, so lots of blue places are off the list for me. I’ve visited 45 of the lower 48, quite extensively. I like the northern half of NM, but can’t do the politics. Northern half of AZ works for me, so does southern half of CO & UT, some parts of ID, depending on elevation, but CO politics worry me, even tho’ I know it’s the Denver metro area that is ruining CO. I already spend a lot of time in SW CO, my favorite part of CO. I’m in OK, but if TX ever secedes from the Union, I’ll probably disappear into the east TX piney woods west of Shreveport, LA near some family down there. I like the eastern 1/3 of TN too.
I can put up with some weather that’s outside of my preferences to satisfy my political preferences. |

look at the NC / Virginia border. draw that across the USA
that's probably as close to 'sweet spot' as you'll get. 4 seasons and all that. now if you 'love' hot or cold weather -- adjust north / south accordingly |

I lived in Anacortes, WA for a year. An island connected via a low and short bridge. Temps year round were around 40-75. 2" of rain a month since it was in the rian shadow of the Olympic mountains. Big industry was whale watching and growing tulips. The weather was good, but the state and people not so much. Maybe 2 hours or less to Seattle, you get the idea. I was there to help a fab shop that couldn't figure out why they were havingt so many accidents, gee no drug testing.
But I keep living in TX. I think in the last few years low was 13 and high of 105. About 60" of rain a year here but very few people. Normal highs about 99 and normal lows about 25. |

Port Aransas Texas (except during hurricanes).
Mild Winter. Very warm Summers but not as hot as a few miles inland. It can be 100F 10 miles North of there but only 92F at Port Aransas. Nice ocean breeze all the time. Good fishing near there. Don't tell anyone. |

It’s funny, I’ve never considered an areas political leanings when considering a place to live. I just want less crowding, reasonable COL and great access to the outdoors. I’m a fiscal conservative and social moderate.
CA has a lot to offer outside the large metro areas. I’m glad I found the right place for me. The local politics don’t affect me so much, liberal or conservative. |
