Another consideration for the rest of the map with small cities would be geographic/weather patterns (tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, and wildfires to name some)

Closest would be the U.P. in Michigan, or somewhere in Alaska then if that's your thing
I go through this same thing every month or two. Lots of places are great if money is no object, but when "value" comes into play, it gets really tough. Every single state has some sort of significant drawback, be it affordability, or weather, or laws, or taxes, or whatever. It's easy to get lost looking for a place, but instead of looking all over and seeing if you think you'd like it, maybe try working in the reverse and asking yourself what your ideal life is and then think about regions where people live that way.
For me, all I want to do is enjoy my family and garden on some land and buy/sell/trade produce at the local weekly market and chit chat with locals and have nice chill evenings at home. In my mind, that just says, "aaaahhhhhh". Unfortunately, farmers markets in the US are an overpriced mess that have become more of a trendy activity than a communal means of sustenance. That old school lifestyle is more commonplace throughout south America and across most of rural Europe and running through various personal filters, my list shrinks to a region expanding from Portugal through northern Spain and southern France and into Italy. Plus, France and Italy are always in the top five of global healthcare quality, while the US is always way down at 30-something.

Of concern to me is the falling of the US food standards, USA had once some great healthy recipes
after a few months with my Aunt in Bev Hills I was screaming for normal food, food with no 'E's or corn
in truth it was like living in an episode of ' the Simpsons'
if pushed I'd go American Samoa just become a vegan who likes fish ....lol

It's a hard choice, a buddy of mine recently bought a a house on 5 acres (well, septic, wood stove, etc.) Just north of Seattle and paid double what we paid with the same plus a barn and 20+ more acres. My tolerance for midwest winters is shrinking as the years pass
I still miss it. Still gotta convince myself that the juice is worth the squeeze.

It's over fished unless you go out in the ocean.
People are assholes now since there's too many people in too small an area.
My grandfather use to hunt until he almost got shot by some other jackasses 30 years ago and traded all his guns for golfing gear.
Traffic from hell, and yadda yadda yadda.
Hey, but the seafood is good, and it's really green and mild weather. And I like the Cascades. Newer steeper mountains than here in CO.
If it was like it was I'd still be there, but it's not.
From what I understood high kev has had enough of the cold.Arizona cool....

There's better looking girls on the West Coast. Our mountains are flat and you'll have to unstrap and walk a lot. The weather changes too fast. And Sierra Nevada has better beer than anything here. Flat Tire tastes like flat piss. And our weed is all full of WPM.
