Best place to live?

At one time, WA would have been my suggestions, anywhere east of the Cascades. Hunting and fishing to no end. Now, having left there in 1993, I hear it's not so great with the liberal influence overrunning the east side.
 
I have lived in England, Florida, Texas, Illinois, SEA, South Carolina, North Carolina and Cincinnati, Ohio. All save one were wonderfully happy experiences for me North and South.

Two years ago we found and closed on our Rockwellesque forever home in semi-rural western Butler County.

My youngest daughter and her family live here as does our eldest granddaughter and her family.

We are all blissfully content.

Home is where the heart is.

Maybe even as late as 10 years ago. Today a nice starter home in any city starts at $750,000.

That applies to ID too - I liked the state when I visited, but I see some fairly modest homes bringing big dollars in the Boise area - and also see that migration (and rising crime) is a thing there, unlike when I was there in the '90s.

Below the Mason Dixon line…

Too damned hot and humid and despite folks making it sound freer, I found that govt. is at least as intrusive as anywhere else, and often more predatory, despite often offering worse service, like roads and schools - based on six years well below the Mason-Dixon. The lower Midwest is my sweet spot, though some parts of the Upland South are not too bad. I actually have considered moving back to Missouri.
 
I was born in Indiana, but foolishly moved to Illinois before I was one. Still here. I don't recommend it. BUT....the vast majority of this state (as measured by counties) is conservative. Unfortunately we are canceled out at the ballot by Chicago, ruining an otherwise good place.

Since 1966 I have lived near the southern Indiana border. I have many friends there and visited many times.

I also have gone there for Indy, Bengals games and camping at Lake Monroe.

Beautiful country. I could live there.
 
I am living in my forever home in southcentral PA. I helped to design my house and had it built special for me by a local builder. My intention is that the only ways I'm going to leave this house will be in a straightjacket or feet first. (I have been carried out feet first a couple times already but always returned upright.)

IL is actually nice below I-70.
 
Washington is also mostly conservative by county. Doesn't matter, since the voters in King County run the state and are almost all idiots. Spokane has become idiots, and Wenatchee is rapidly leaning idiot. Not sure about Yakima.
 
I would suggest Louisiana, but I don't think you'd like the heat, bugs, and roads, lol. However, my son moved to eastern Tennessee five years ago, lives on a mountain ridge top and loves it. It is a beautiful place. He met and married a girl from New York who came there for the same reasons.
 
Moved from Memphis to the Blue Ridge foothills of NE Georgia in 2020. Not too hot in the summer, not too cold in the winter. Three golf courses and a decent state run gun range a short drive. Power's cheap, people friendly, excellent BBQ and I'm far enough away from Atlanta. Nice place.
 
38 responses and not one wisconsin reply, 4 seasons and the winters are getting milder every year it seems. Decent gun laws for now, it seems they get thinned a little at a time but that's happening everywhere. Good hunting and fishing and you can live in the boonies or pick a city, just stay out of Milwaukee.
