LONG BEACH?? Are you out of your ever living mind? I live in the LA area and let me tell you, LB is a place you move out of and not into.

I would live in Manhattan (avoiding mid-town) so either Lower East or Upper West sides. I would get membership at the MET and all the other museums and galleries and spend my week visiting them and getting carry out from bodegas.

Or

Oh please. That’s ridiculous.

Portland is awesome. You’re probably just some dumb MAGA.

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’m so envious of you. Good luck!

And - probably Falmouth Foreside in Maine.

I would also prefer a place in the Caribbean than the US.

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.

This sounds amazing. OP- Do this and keep us posted so we can live vicariously!

OP you should start a "journal" here and keep us posted on your progress so we can live vicariously through you.

Mendocino or Bainbridge Island. (I live in dense, urban DC.)

The greater Seattle area.

Either somewhere with good weather and hiking, somewhere I could have a few farm animals and a garden, or a cabin on a lake. I agree with PP to travel around. Visit like 6 places and see which you like best.

You have the ability to test a bunch of location before you settle on one. I would take a year and travel the country (avoiding the Southern states).

Ouray next to Telluride is a lot cheaper and yet gorgeous.

My vote is the Virgin Islands! Like Hawaii but much, much cheaper

Portland really is a hot dumpster fire. Voters should sue the city for mismanaging their tax dollars.
