  107. Eric Erickson I thought SD would make it, but definitely not ND because of the high demand for housing due to the high paying natural gas jobs. You would be lucky to snap a house in remote areas for less than 300 k. MN, for the most part, is a more desirable midwestern state to live in. Taxes are high and areas around the twin cities have real estate prices that are between 250k and 500 k. The are some very desirable areas in MN that are along the Mississippi River and Lake Superior that could be expensive and have similar topography to areas around the east coast. The western part of MN, is the least expensive and looks more like the Great Plains and is no stranger to wind farms and lack of any major topography (depending on your perspective). MT is expensive because there are high property taxes and there are multimillion dollar properties in the western part of the state that fetch Jackson Hole like prices. Millionaires, Billionaires, and Hollywood stars build mc mansions in the Rocky Mountains up there. Look up Flathead Lake or Big Sky, MT real estate and I am almost certain that finding a house for less than 500 k is almost nonexistent. The eastern part of MT (I.e. east of Billings) is the part of the state that is the least expensive. It is more remote, dry, and looks more like the badlands. But it still may not be too inexpensive, especially if fracking takes place there resulting in higher paying jobs and lack of housing. Sorry I was so long winded, but I just felt like writing for some reason. Now I am going to stop typing 😂.

  234. Never been to Asheville, but I have been to most areas on the eastern part of NC. Very familiar with CO as a state, and CO Springs. IMO, CO Springs is bipolar, it is very conservative, and it has a huge Church Influence there. The AF base is there. You look to the east and it is the high plains. If you look or go west, then you have Rocky Mountain scenery. Garden Of ………. and Pikes. Forget ski areas, they are several hours away either in traffic via Denver or more to the southwest (Purgatory, Wolf Creek, Crested Butte, or the Northern NM ones) IMO, too small, kind of boring, and you can make a 3 day jaunt there and get the idea. Very homogenous housing and commercial property (Chipotle, Starbucks, Walmart etc.). There might be a dispensary or two, Manitou Springs to the west is kind of retro. Essentially, I feel that Co Springs is doing anything and everything, not to become Denverized or like another CALIRODO. I am more on the conservative side and that is my take on it. Denver to the north has some of the worst air quality in the country and you will sit on the 25 for 2 plus hours to arrive there. I would pick Asheville on a whim. Greener, the mountains are majestic, probably more unique, the cost of living will probably be comparable to CO Springs, the local wages are probably not even close to Charlotte (work remotely), more water too, and better fall foliage. Again making guesses on Asheville, because I have never been to Asheville proper, but I have been all over eastern Tennessee and Western VA (Smoky Mountains and Blue Ridge) and it shares the same biome. Lived in the southwestern US for a long time (AZ). Definitely avoid most of CA.

  291. Holo Holopainen Worked mostly odd jobs for a period of 2 years. Switched off between the tent and the car. Hiked for miles in Rockies, The Northwestern USA, and the desert southwest. Worked a slew of temp jobs to garner cash for provisions. Usually if I slept in my car it would be at a hospital, casino, or BLM land. On several occasions, I would leave the car for weeks at a time while I trekked in remote areas on foot with my tent and gear. It was a bad time economically in the USA during the early 90s and I lost a job and felt like depressed because of it. Could not afford the NYC area and turmoil I was going through at the time. I was cautious not to sleep in unsafe urban areas out west, but preferred remote rural areas or smaller towns. My theory was that if I was going to die, it would be in the wilds. Ran out of cash 6 months into this experience, so I was always doing temp work out of necessity. Ate some vegetation like roots and placed pine needles in my unpurified water at times to get vitamin C. Gorp came in handy and was a staple. I was not too knowledgeable about edible plants at the time, so I avoided those risks. No cellphones in those days and the internet on a desktop was a seminal thing. Went to tons of libraries to read, shave, and bathe. Also was no stranger to a YMCA or two for cleaning up. For 4 months I stayed in some mountainous area in the Rockies between Nederland and Boulder CO and worked if I ran out of money or was close. Did not carry a side piece and I had no encounters, but I was not worried at the time. Being frustrated with the east coast life and feeling like I failed, prompted me to disappear. By 1995 eventually everything fell into place, but that 09 recession was no walk in the park. At the ripe old age of 44 in 2011, I had to work 1000 miles away from immediate family for 2. 5 years. However, I lived with a continuous roof over my head, unlike having to rough it like I did 20 years earlier, but it was no walk in the park either. Unlike the protagonist, I decided against eating a poisonous shoot (I think that is what it was). I was pretty bummed out during the 90 s journey, but not as severe as McCanless. I ditched my car for weeks at a time, but I went back to it and I also did not burn any cash I took with me or made along the way. The temp jobs I did were mostly factory work, multiple call centers, construction, dishwashing, bar tending, farming, and inventory. Anyhow, that is the old story in a nutshell. Stayed mostly in Oregon, Nevada, eastern California, Arizona, and Colorado. Yes, I was American then, and still am. When I retire I have mulled over moving to southern Italy, which is where my family is from.

  317. Coco Taveras I used to live in CT too, and moved out when I was 25, and that was over 25 years ago. I have lived in AZ for the greater part of the decade, but I have lived in Omaha, NE from the mid 90s to the 00s. My recommendation is if you are going to live anywhere in Iowa and work is a priority, then I would look at areas like Crescent, IA or Glenwood, IA. Both towns are nice and the have forested areas within the loess hills. Both are within 25 minutes from Omaha. Omaha itself, is overall, good too, but there are areas that are more prone to crime, but nothing like the worst parts of NY, Bridgeport, New Haven, and Hartford. IMO, Dubuque, IA is the most scenic town of all and it is in the northeastern part of the state near the Mississippi River. However, it is far away from anything cosmopolitan. In SD, Sioux Falls is the best bet for business opportunities, but lacks topography. It is a very safe town too, but I would be less apt to call it a city. The western part of the state, especially the Black Hills, is more interesting scenically, but the cost of living in desirable areas near Rapid City might be high relative to one’s income. However, as far as all the places I mentioned, they are not going to be even close to areas like Westport, Greenwich, New Canaan etc. Hope that helps you. Regarding Ohio and Kentucky, I am not too familiar with either of them, other than passing through and staying for a night or two. There are a few nice towns along Lake Eerie in northern Ohio near Sandusky. You can easily drive to them from CT as a first step in your relocation plan. The distance, depending on where you live in CT, is no more than 8-10 hours by car (approximately 500 miles). If you fly, then fly into Omaha Epply, and you can scout out parts of western Iowa and the Sioux Falls area. Good luck with your plans, hope that helped.

  495.  @audisnewbeginning8616  Sorry this was meant for Wrestler X, but it could interest you. Although I have lived in Arizona for over a decade, my wife’s family lives in southwestern Iowa. After living in the Omaha area for about 15 years prior (I also used to own a house in Bennington about 15 miles northwest of downtown Omaha, where one would be unable to buy anything for less than 400 k nowadays, and the property taxes that come with it, would be through the roof, no pun intended) However, if you were to consider Iowa, we’re the taxes are much lower relative to NE, then I would recommend towns like Carson, Avoca, Shelby, Mondamin, Elk Horn, Treynor, and Logan. Each of those towns are safe and are all under an hour from Omaha. The nearby Loess hills makes some of those towns quite scenic, especially Mondamin. The landscape including the farms is quite nice. There is a region called the Loess Hills scenic byway. Check out the pictures. My absolute favorite area in Iowa is Dubuque along the Mississippi River all the way to the MN line. You will seriously think you are not in Iowa, because the far Northeast region is forested, and resembles an Eastern deciduous forest with hills overlooking the River. It is like that throughout eastern MN as well. The former area I had mentioned would be easier to secure a non remote work venue. Not too familiar with Des Moines, other than the State fair, but it does have a solid economy, and housing near the city limits, whether east, west, north, or south, can be easily accessed by either interstate 80 (East to West) or Interstate 35 (North to South) If you get a chance, visit Des Moines and head west to the Omaha area.
