SW Misery is good. NW Misery would be bad. Too many people moving out of KCMO. It takes a long time to "Countryfy" a died in the wool city guy. Be Well, RZ.
Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy. Its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery. Winston Churchill.

if you come to the southeast, or east coast you're gonna have to deal with Hurricane season.
the weather is one thing we defiantly didn't take into consideration. Alabama is Tax friendly, Gun friendly, I get my Medical stuff easy, cost of living is good, but you're dodging tornados 6 months of the year and Hurricanes the other 6..it sux, I hate this place because of the weather.

Lots of retirees move to Montana. Then they move away. Seems shoveling snow for hours every day isn’t as relaxing as the beach.

I am actually a very nice person....but it do get cold here.
If I were gonna move...it would be way south.
Go someplace they don't call the cops if you have a lawn mower with no hood on it.

Oregon politics suck. The geography doesn't.

One can still find lots of empty country in Nevada, but that is west of the Rockies. Pretty much a dry cold, but it's still cold.

WV is about as 2A friendly as they come. Prices for real estate are rising, but nothing like some places. HS internet might be lacking in some more rural areas. Public hunting land is abundant, and in a few select bowhunting-only counties, there are some real monsters. Elsewhere, maybe not so much. Besides deer, we have a good many bears and even a few true European boars that may be hunted (until they’re all gone). Elk are in progress due to programs in neighboring states that make it feasible. Turkeys and small game are everywhere. The Governor is working hard to reduce taxes. There’s skiing, whitewater rafting, hiking, fishing; all that good stuff.
Main downsides are limited employment opportunity, and in some depressed rural areas, drugs and property crime are pretty bad. I’m very happy here in the Eastern Panhandle, and am too old to move, otherwise I’d consider a more central location like Pocahontas County.
I came from the Peoples Republic of Maryland, and now that my father’s estate is about settled, I may never venture into that vale of tears again, except to pass through on my way to PA once in a while. I’m staying out of VA more and more too, though the neighboring counties aren’t so bad as the D.C. suburbs. Aside from the need to visit cemeteries elsewhere, I could stay within the the confines of WV forever with absolutely no hardship.
Just don’t come here packing any Liberal baggage.
What fresh Hell is this?

Montana is near the top, but I hate the cold. Then why would you consider Montana? Because it checks most of the other boxes! Mountains, Water, 2A, Enough civilization, Hunting, etc. It may just be too cold. and I'd have to be on the lookout for Conrad. I said 'semi'-rural, meaning not being in the middle of a 50000 acre ranch, but not the insipid 'suburbs' either. Budget $5-600 Tn's income tax is pretty attractive. Don't know why holding a fish offends someone, and don't know why you'd ignore someone for it, but whatever.

Most places in the southeast don’t tax retirement income so a state that is unfriendly for workers like MS or AL can be attractive for retirees. I have a place in MS but my home is FL partly because of the state income tax. As I type this I’m sitting on my couch watching the waves of the gulf roll in.
I’m partial to the southeast, I don’t really feel at home elsewhere. There’s plenty of rural here, it’s nothing like the paved over parking lots of the northeast. The west is a good place to visit but too little water and too many displaced Californians controlling the politics. I also like cold less and less as I get older.
Easy proximity to saltwater is a big factor for me, nothing improves my mood like that.
