If you could move anywhere in the US where would you live right now?

[Anonymous]

I just sold my house and I am moving out in less than 2 weeks. I sold it without any plans other than to move somewhere else. Dumb? Yes, most likely. I work from home and I am freelance so I can live anywhere. I sold and gave away literally everything I own except what can fit in 2 rolling suitcases. I arranged for a 2 week stay at a local Airbnb to get my bearings. Where would you move? Give me some suggestions.

I already live here. San Francisco.

Miami / Key West sounds fun.

Don't move anywhere, just visit places until you find one you like.

I live in Portland and would not suggest here--it's a raging dumpster fire at the moment. Seattle probably is too, but it's very beautiful, so I'd still consider something in the Seattle area. I might consider the NE too. In theory the SW but climate change and water shortages are real, so I'd ultimately decline putting more strain on their ecosystem.

Budget?

I would love to live in San Diego, but the COL is too high for our somewhat modest HHI.

I have a friend who recently left Seattle. He’s working remote and spending one month in a new place over the next year. He’s currently in SoCal, but will be headed to Santa Fe, somewhere in CO in the mountains, etc. Eventually will be on the East Coast - Florida for a month, then DC, then NYC.

He’s got time, money, a laptop, a cellular hotspot, a dog, and a nice Jeep.

Everybody knows that. Two options in Florida were listed.

I'm right where I want to be, on the Oregon coast.

It might be fun to travel around and stay in various places for a month or so, to find out what you like.

Some artsy artists community, or a resort destination with a year-round culture.

…but you’re not me and I don’t recommend my list unless you also like snow and low population density.
