People in Washington strongly dislike Californians
Haha, oh well. I'm staying anyway, to admire your beautiful scenery, pay people properly for good work and to enjoy a good coffee occasionally.
A lot of people are staying anyway hence the housing market lol
Yeah it's kinda bad. I'm saving up for a year or two to add to the down payment, the mortgage rates kinda suck.
Regarding that last sentence, teenage me would just gawk at the rEsPoNsIbLe adult I've become 😂

Is the East Coast out of the question?
I'm told Seattle isn't bad. And you're close to Vancouver.
What's in Vancouver? Genuine question, I moved away from the Vancouver area last year and don't miss anything.
When it comes to Canada I only ever see the really popular artists perform in Vancouver or Toronto.
But I assumed one of the biggest Canadian cities would always have something going on, also driving distance away from the Shambhala Music Festival.
It's an 8 hour drive to get to Shambhala from Vancouver...
That's significantly better than from where I'm at, but I get it.
Auchtermuchty is quite nice still
Upstate NY, VT, ME, NH, basically new england, some snow, but pretty nice places

Arizona. I plan on evacuating California too and Arizona is the most decent close place I have looked into. Vegas has already become too expensive unfortunately.
The thing that everyone complains and deters it for is the heat. We have had heat in California thats in the upper 90s before and I survived so I will take my chances. Good luck escaping California.
I did this. I'm currently in Phoenix. Yes, it gets hot, but it's really not a deterrent. There's certainly still affordable housing here too, especially if you're okay with manufactured housing.
I hear Arkansas is great
It's objectively one of the worst states to live in
I know this will be unpopular, but if you're ok with heat and traveling out of state if you need an abortion, Texas may be an option. Yes, our governor is terrible, but day to day life is not the horror that you see on tv. Our big cities are blue and populationwise we're not as red as you think (52-46% in 2020). Snow and ice are pretty minimal. The topography varies tremendously across the state - mountains, desert, coastal, etc. - and each big city has it's own vibe, so there are lots of opportunities for weekend getaways. We have great food, good airports, and colleges and universities of every size and focus. Housing prices have increased since COVID but are still much lower that the east or west Coast. I'm in Dallas and i like it here. San Antonio is a very fun city and a little cheaper.
