They never tell you what you need to know.
Let’s say you have an opportunity to move somewhere else within the continental US where would it be? Let’s just say you’d be placed in a similar valued home you live in now, making the same amount of money (adjusted for cost of living) all that nonsense...
Where would you move to and why there?
How come you don’t live there now?

(much too expensive.)
Large cities have more culture, more to do, better dining, etc. They are also overwhelmingly liberal politics, high crime, high tax
California and Hawaii are geographically and meteorologically with beatiful natural wonders and weather, as well as some of the moat misguided idiotic electorates you could possibly find.
My two biggest complaints about Florida would be the awful heat and humidity, and the low quality and high prices of most restaurants. Chicago and New Orleans set a pretty high bar for others to follow.
California would be great, but I’m on east coast time and living there working with the laid back lifestyle most Californians have would probably drive me nuts. Florida on the gulf coast would be nice but I would miss seasons.
There are several places I’d like to live for a few years but definitely not forever - Manhattan, Vegas, Seattle (before all the protests).
Reason I haven’t moved - family and jobs, my wife has a job she can’t just walk away from, plus I live where I get all four seasons which as I get older I appreciate more and more. I’m an hour away from a smaller metropolitan area now, wish it was more like 30 minutes.
I have too many responsibilities to be able to just pick up and leave
However, I am very happy with my home in Alexandria and my boat on the Chesapeake and one of our daughters and two of our grandkids here as well.
i probably would lean more towards fla. i kinda liked tampa/st pete area, and wouldn't be the worst place to spend the rest of my life. cali - only been to san fran & oakland during the 80's - i wasn't impressed. both were shitholes then and based on what i've seen on my screens have gotten 10x shittier. san diego weather i heard is the best year round, but the strip clubs have been noted here and there as being not that good.
I’m from an area where everybody dreams of going to. I’ll always have a soft spot in my heart for NYC. And I like the big cities and for this one when you go other places it can be surprising just how much smaller other American cities can be in comparison. But I think I’m just ready for something new and despite the fact I do have hope for the future that maybe Yang or Adams will do a better job then Bill Dumbassio. And not for nothing it’s been cold this week, it’s fucking May man. I’m ready for something warmer fuck this.
LOL knew you revert to form eventually you never could keep your true bigoted self under wraps.
If I were to move, it would be to a smaller area. I have had thoughts about Lubbock TX before. The town actively encourages entrepreneurship and there is lots of newness that has been springing up as a result. It has a lot of the energy of larger growth areas but better mitigates the same sharp growing pains for things like rent or inequality. The roads are good and traffic isn’t an issue so driving through is a breeze. Despite my own political viewpoints, it probably helps that that place is backwards enough to have recently enacted anti-abortion laws, to keep Lubbock growth at a more contained level. Unlike a place like, for example, Austin where out-of-state people feel comfortable flooding lol.
Or possibly a place like Tampa. I liked the vibe there and just east around Kissimmee has a bunch of great theme parks and great hookah 😀
And if OP hadn't limited it to continental US, then Kauai despite no mountain sports.
