I have 5 on my list. Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, and North and South Dakota. I have to do some research on jobs, certain cities, gun laws etc. but I am positive I will be moving sometime in 2019.

I've lived here my entire life since the 1970's(Fort Collins). I have no hope that Colorado will ever recover and our rights will be gutted and we will be made into criminals over night with the stroke of a pen. It is too expensive here anyway. My wife is a surgical nurse and I'm thinking she could get a good job just about anywhere with her skill set. We would like to go to a very conservative state with low cost of living. How is Missouri, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Nebraska ect? I'm open to all suggestions!

Planning on starting to build my "last home" in Tennessee this coming year, hope to retire there by 2025 if I can make it that long. Hind sight being 20/20 and all, moving here was one of my great mistakes in life.

Was planning on going from the Front Range to the west side when my wife retires in a few years. Now we are thinking of going to her home country of north Alabama near Huntsville. I hate to leave the mtns but a CA blue state won't be nice. Plus homes cost roughly half as much in AL.

Nashville area is at the top of our list. Looks to be happening. My wife is a native and is absolutely dismayed with this state. Hates what it has become thanks to liberal Californians, Texans and Midwesterners. I'm also tired of the water issues in Colorado and the always bitching about lack of water. Can't wait to move actually, have to wait for my youngest kid to graduate, should be 8 years. Starting out search now though for places to live in tn.

Considering New Hampshire and Maine after I graduate here. Cheap lobster and crab cakes and so cold that it keeps everyone else from moving there permanently. Housing ain't out of control like it is here too. The chance to own an actual colonial home is appealing as well.

well, 2025 is going to be way too late. Open your eyes people. Sorry, this state has been dead since 2013 or so and it's going to accelerate. Go look at California for our future.
But for me, one of the big items on the list is that the state cannot have a large urban population center that dominate the voting pattern. Look at any state you wish, and outside the urban areas it's normal and inside the urban areas it's not pretty but if they have the numbers, it dominates the corruption and graft. (errr I mean voting) This approach also gets you away from crowds which is going to be increasingly important I think. JMHO |

(maybe not Maine, i simply dont' know). MD, NY, NJ, DE, NH, VT, MA. really shouldn't need to explain AK: too cold for my pansy butt HI: way leftist nut job and racist and too expensive. |

What happens if we stay and keep on keepin' on? If they do get a semi-auto ban in place do you think it will be enforced or like the mag ban where you can still buy 30 rounders in any gun shop still?

If you like the southeast there's a few good places there. Im considering ultimately retiring to the mountains of Western NC or Eastern TN. If VA weren't so damn expensive as a whole I'd go to Western VA in a heartbeat. If PA holds out I might consider moving back there, but I doubt my home state will ultimately last.
My list of places I want to live gets shorter and shorter every year it seems. |

I relo'd to Nashville 6mo ago. Traffic is much worse than expected, however the area is smaller so everywhere is closer. Also real estate seems similar to CO, $400k 1000sq ft condo. I have still have a house back in CO (may sell next year).
Sure wish land was cheaper in the Smokies. Gatlinburg-Pigeon Forge is odd with all the carnival type attractions, outside of those compact areas it's wilderness. Knoxville maybe more convenient for a mountain rendezvous. Also, unlike the mountain in CO, you cannot just find somewhere to shoot in the open in TN. Luckily, I have a relative with land a couple hours away. |

It's changed quite a bit since then, but there are definitely worse places in the SE. Take a look into the Muscle Shoals/Sheffield/Tuscumbia area. If for whatever reason I had to move back to the South my first choice would be East TN between Chattanooga and Knoxville like Cleveland, Athens, Maryville. As is, we're looking into UT and NM though NM looks like a lateral move politically except for the population growth rate. It's a real shame though because the weather and outdoor recreating activities here are fantastic (though I can see the lefties curtailing the latter like they have in Cali). |
