  1. KC international airport is closer to Omaha than DIA. In Sidney, NE, then DIA is closer, but still a 3.5 hour drive.

  2.  @MaxFloz Phoenix is definitely a concrete jungle and is very standoffish. Tucson, near where I live is much friendlier and more rustic. However, the greenery in Florida is fantastic. I visit there every now and then, and almost moved there in 2013, for family, but took a job in Tucson instead. I grew up in the NY city area, and am always able to strike up a conversation with people that hail from that area (I.e, Port St Lucie and Martin Counties, 30 miles north of WPB) Every time I drive to Phoenix to visit, and it is getting rarer, I am ready to go back to Tucson. Glad Florida is going well for you!! Enjoy it

  3. Very familiar with Martin County FL, but I predict that many of those lakes in Lakeland have an alligator or two. Also, there was no mention of the costs of housing in Austin, but I am going to assume that it is easily over 700k. Boise pay is way below the cost of living, so make sure that NYC or CA job will let you work remotely. Des Moines is the best deal, but I could never live there, Omaha for about 20 years was enough. However Des Moines definitely has lower property taxes than Omaha. IMO Tucson is better than Phoenix, live near the former, and used to live in the latter. Every time I visit Phoenix, I am ready to go back to Tucson. Better air quality, less traffic, more rustic, and about half the homeless population. I’ll probably be living somewhere else in 2060, just not on this earth, so I hope this helps any future generation of mine.

  6. I never would have thought Idaho would be in the top 10. I even thought SD would be higher up than ID. A good portion of the latter is in the Great Basin, whereas MT has a huge stretch of badlands and high plains east of Billings all the way to ND that can experience bone chilling winds. The western part of MT is comparable to the mountainous sections of ID. SD winters are brutal, especially in the plains portion with serious wind chills.

  7. Guessing: Harsh winters, isolated, other than Omaha, and a little bit of Lincoln, no big cities, property taxes, summer heat with a little more humidity, tornado alley, Midwest nice mentality, and not much in the way of scenery in most of the state.

  8. In 2023, it might as well be most of the USA. Surprised no NY areas made the list.

  10.  @zakhlll7584 IMO Phoenix is much better if you are younger versus Tucson to the south. However, outdoor activities are much closer and the people are friendlier in Tucson. Almost moved to south Florida in 2013, but I am not a fan of flat topography nor high humidity in the summer. Florida is ok for me to visit and I have friends and family there. If you are from the east coast, you will meet alot of people from NY and NJ, mostly on the Atlantic coast. The Gulf Coast attracts more midwesterners. AZ on the other hand, has a huge population of Californians, Pacific Northwesterners, and Minnesotans.
