Looking for suggestions for a place to move in the US as a remote employee (lemmy.ml)

So the work I do is 100% remote now. I moved to Southern California because of an industry that has in part moved to remote work. My only requirements are a temperate climate, nature access and hopefully a blue-ish state. Is there a place out there that makes sense financially? I’m hoping to buy a house less then 500k. I don’t need access to large cities as I honestly don’t do anything. The only requirement I can think of is access to solid internet as I stream full screen video for what I do.

I’m currently looking at Michigan and Virginia as options.

It depends on what your version of cold is haha. I love it but it tends to start to get colder toward the end of october and then get warmer around the middle or end of march; anywhere between 30ish to 50ish (as a high) though of course with climate change (sigh) it's pretty much all over the place!

I don’t mind cold but I have to keep my wife in mind. Grew up in NJ and run hot. I miss snow but I only got to experience the good parts of it in NJ. Moved out of NJ at 14 so it was all snowmen and snow days

It's pretty hit or miss with snow these days; when we do get it, there can be pretty significant amounts (especially in western and central mass) but I think this past winter we only had like 1 or 2 significant storms compared to when I was growing up. But yeah if she doesn't like cold too much it might be difficult

Luckily with climate change, it’ll be perfect eventually right? Silver lining and all

I'm laughing but I'm also crying inside!

It’s a sad thing that’s guiding my house / coffin purchase
