A big piece of advice. Fix your own state as Conservative Christian states who have no income tax, crime rates and AOC nuttery do not want you there, as they are learning fast what Colorado and Missouri learned by California influx.

My inlaws mocked the Dakotas when they lived in your twin state of Minnesota for 30 years, because they could discern how Al Franken and that lot would vote conservative. Odd thing is when they retired they moved to South Dakota, and the people there do not like Minnesotans, no more than the people out of Rapid City can not stands the Denver awakened pouring into that area buying gumbo homes.

When people have problems with their state, fix that state for their grandchildren and that means voting in the high taxes and high spending. which they allowed.

Same with Wisconsin. Nothing here. But I hear Illinois is real nice or Minnesota. People should move there but not Wisconsin.

It's cheap to live here... But it's hot as blazes in the summer and the trapping laws suck.

Some of the nicer "outdoors mans" states are ruined by politics and just get worse. I love the land and lakes of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minn. but would never live there with their leftest laws.

I've lived many different places, and I seem to always end up in a state of confusion.

I think Star Flakes has Missouri confused with Montana with regard to the influx from California.

Run doesn't like the cost of living in Va, but I live in a very different part of Va and have a low cost of living, nothing close to NY or Cali. My problem with Va is the left leaning, gun grabbing politics driven by Run's part of the state.

This "best state" question appears with some regularity on the forum but the various areas of the country are so different and what people are used to is so different that it is almost impossible to answer. As someone who has always lived east of the great plains, the great expanses of the west are daunting. I am used to having a grocery store, Cabelas, Walmart, Tractor Supply, Hospital, Doctor and Dentist all within 20 miles while living in the country. At my age living in Idaho would be a huge paradigm shift. Then there is the consideration that both my son's families live in the east. So even though I can move anywhere I want, moving to Idaho isn't practical. Similar considerations apply to others. When I moved from Ky to Va I should have paid more attention to state politics and moved to east Tn instead. I like where I live very much but local politics don't match what is happening on a state level. So I would advise that you narrow your search based on your lifestyle habits, research the cost of living and tax structure, and consider the trend in state politics regarding your own personal leanings. For someone who intends to live in the east and not on the coast, likes to hunt, fish and trap, and is politically conservative, Tn and Ky are hard to beat.

I live in northeast Tenn and love the area, we have four seasons but none are extreme, couple decent 12"-16" snows a year and summers usually never get above 80. I also have a place in southern Ohio and I love it up there too, mainly because of the people and the big bucks

Not Kansas. Too hot/humid in the summer, taxes too high, land prices getting ridiculously high in some areas. I would have already moved out of Kansas if the wife was on board. Only thing we got goin on is good deer hunting in some areas.
