A reliable water source is also an important consideration if you want to have a greenhouse and a nice green lawn.
So, you're concerned about global warming and scarce water supplies, and you're moving to an arid part of the country in a river basin that's over-appropriated, where the federal government has mandated cuts in water usage but the states can't agree on how to do that.
Which one of these things doesn't belong in the picture?
CO, NH, or VT, each has its good points and its not so good points.
If we live in NH or VT, we could just buy a 4 bedroom condo in Breck that I could use when I wanted to ski on snow instead of ice. Whatever we do, the property will be owned by an LLC and we'll just rent it from the LLC so that residency is cloudy.
Things will work out one way or the other, if for no other reason than they always do.
