Been thinkin really hard about a move out of this piece of crap state. Thinkin wyoming but want your thoughts on that? Goods vs bads.
Not sure of your financial situation, but when I was looking towards Wyoming a few years back, land of any quantity was expensive beyond my wildest imagination.

Texas could be the most disappointing state you ever go to. After you hear all the great comments by Texans about their state, you can drive thousands of miles looking for it, and never find it.

I live in a commie state. I’m getting older and I have thought about retiring to a red state.
With that, I think there are better places than where I am politically for sure. When you think about the outdoors and the things that you want to do when you retire, the weather here rules.
Unfortunately, I think that anywhere you go in the United States that you think is a escape route probably has the same problems as where you are currently living. Especially if you’re trying to have conveniences of a city. Homeless people, crime etc.
I think maybe you need to stay where you are but get out of the city into a much smaller community to minimize contacts with socialist [bleep].
Seriously. The United States of America is very close to being over.
Have an escape plan
Ain't no escape, Rick.
This USA is the last stand.
I reckon we got a better than even chance of righting the ship.
I know and I hope you’re right.
I’m thinking they might find me 30 years from now in a cave like they found Jap soldiers on Guam still thinking WW2 was going
You will have to come out of the cave at least once a year for the Hatch crop.
Some here may remember eh76, who has been in WY for decades and loves it. Communicate with him frequently and many of the conversations include reports of high wind and rapidly changing temps.
Slaves get what they need. Free men get what they want.
On a serious note, New Mexico, if not run by democrats, would be pretty awesome.
People in NM are used to the government tit and arent likely to spit it out any time soon. Espanola ... is the first stop for cheap smack and coca headed north from Sinoloa, and aint anywhere near to being a happy place. Their crime stats and overdose rate would make you think the place was the size of Dallas. Its so bad there even the Detox and Rehab places are corrupt. NM is textbook as to what happens when democrats hold sway for more than a few decades.
That being said, its one of the prettiest places Ive been to and the weather doesnt suck even considering the altitude in the northern part of the state.
one problem here is that its 2022 and not 1982 .....were already overrun with refugees from California and Colorado! the places you want to live have seen a HUGE increase in cost recently very limited economy, better bring your job with you
Wife had/ has family there ( chugwater) Mostly gone now but we enjoyed the trips up. We are too old to move now, but in the off chance please don't screw it up.

And a national article, back in the early '70's IIRC, called our town "Smack City, USA" Ain't gotten any better. Last year, they busted a dozen or more of the Syndicato bunch for dealing, murders, etc. Some of our prominent locals (sarcasm).
This in a town of ~ 12K. I've lived in Las Vegas and Espanola - not much difference between them, other than size.

I think that's pretty right. 1) No matter what you're running from, it will find you. 2) If we don't right this ship (USA) nowhere we might run will be safe. Bad as things are, right here is the last best hope for humanity.

Anyone who thinks there's two sides to everything hasn't met a M�bius strip.
Me thinks that all those 'name' states have been ruined, or are in the process of being ruined, by out of state paranoids (and liberals) moving in. And before this trend started, rural meth was already changing the landscape.
Nope, there is no hidden utopia in the USA. Some of you should consider staying in your chosen spot and doing your best to ignore the govt. Thats what I do as I cannot live without an ocean. Who is saying that Texas might not go blue in 6 years? There was a time when Colorado was a Wyoming and now look at it!
Just FYI - the least windy town in Wyoming is Lander.
