What is the biggest factor that would make you move from your current location?

Death.

Job opportunity

Job opportunity.

I like the LA Metro area because of the availability of the girls I like... and Tijuana is just down the street. but traffic is a bitch and the cost of living is ridiculous. so I guess I'll stay in Arizona a little bit longer.

Not concerned with the following:
Crime - As long as my friends, Smith & Wesson, are handy I will be good.
Weather - Can adjust to any type of weather. Don't have to be outside.
Schools - No one in school now.
Job - Semi-retired & currently only do remote gigs.
Traffic - Drive less than 5000 miles per year including vacations.

So the winner would be:
Taxes - Made plans early in life that have reduced tax income burden. But sales, property, and use taxes that are state driven could have me looking elsewhere.

Quality of life.

Family - my parents are getting to the age that their health is quickly declining. I am trying to get them to move near here since my brother and sister both live within about 15 miles so we would all be nearby if something comes up. If we can't convince them to move to this area I may have to move down to central Kentucky to help care for them since my job is remote and I don't have kids unlike my brother and sister.

zoning/rent-property control. If my city changes what I'm allowed to do with my property, it will put me out of business.

Jobs.

Where I live, I find it boring, but it’s safe. Taxes, weather, crime and traffic are also all favorable.

The only place I wouldn’t find boring is a large metro area, and I do t think I’d be happy in that.

The only way I’d move is if I need to move somewhere else for a job.

Dealing with all of the above on your list due to California politicians. Rather than make a law that punishes anyone participating in organized stealing with 10 years minimum in prison, they made a law that could send a business owner to jail if one of his employees tries to stop the mob.

Born and raised in California but taking steps to be a part time resident and pay reasonable taxes with less stupid politicians. Not that you can't run into stupid politicians anywhere.

Whodey said it, many move due to family over the other reasons.

fall of democracy

I would move to a place where I can have very affordable access to:

1. high end escorts, centerfolds, actresses, models, Strippers (ITC OTC) etc that provide PSE/GFE for the sake of pleasure.

2. Mistresses/Sugar Babies/; etc, for the daily health of my body.

3. Trophy Girlfriends/Wives to bear us lawful offspring, and be the faithful guardians of our homes.

4. Realistic Sex Dolls/Gynoids/Fembots, and Internet Porn and Instagram/Onlyfans “Models”, for kicks-and-giggles”.

:D

If the city goes woke. Defund police. Reparations. Mandatory masks. Etc.

Some of you morons moving in next to me would probably get me to move.

Drop the charade cj, we all know your personal Shangri La would be a having a camera on an island full of swinging dicks plus an internet connection so you could troll tuscl in between your lip smacking.

I sometimes think about moving to a foreign country for a lower cost of living and young ladies who like older gentlemen. Thailand. Philippines. Mexico. Colombia.

I’ve lived in the same house on an island in Miami Beach my entire life. I plan on staying here unless we go under water in my lifetime.

Nearing retirement.... i.e. a move to a more temperate climate at least 4-5 months out of the year.

I am trying to abandon CA for all of the above reasons, but it’s hard due to friends, weather & strip clubs. So now I’m bi(coastal) with an intense legal construct to establish residence & tax liability in my new state, to avoid CA greed taxes despite regular physical presence in CA (on frequent & extended vacations). The other issues are tolerable short-term, and just make me appreciate my new state more (apart from it’s awful strip club & mongering scene).

Once they kill the last cool music bar in seattle, I will say fuck it and fuck you to this place. It’s been on a douche-ification plan for the last 30 years and at some point it will just be a bunch of transient tech turds paying $900 for needlessly complicated food and “boba” from Uber eats while they jack it to IR video games and tell each other their stupid pronouns.

I’m starting to get why you older guys hate the world. It’s on a collision course with lame and the new generations don’t know any better.

For me to move, I would need some place better to move to. Texas used to be a candidate, but I believe the illegal aliens will be used to corrupt Texas as they were in California. Georgia is a possibility, I would go insane in the Great Plains (if you haven't seen how flat and featureless they are, it is incomprehensible), while the American Redoubt is truly poverty with a view- except for the very wealthy snowbirds.

My next problem would be selling my current property. Florida is one of the last places in the country where low housing availability have kept prices elevated, so I have been blessed with rising equity year after year since my purchase. However, that narrows the pool of qualified buyers, who would then need to be willing to pay a mortgage with rates above 6%. In the same breath, I would need to be willing to pay the same outrageously high interest rates for my next mortgage.

Finally, my current business is recession proof. It would make no sense to leave it. Only if Florida became fully blue, like CA, IL, or NY would I leave without the first two conditions being met. Fully blue would mean high state income tax, woke idiocy pervading the government, rewarding criminals, and attacking victims and citizen heroes, defunding police, and overregulating private business. Florida is still one of the best places to live if you like being free.
