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 if access to solid internet as I stream full screen video for what I do.

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

Depending how adventurous you feel MX is an awesome place.

Denver is a super nice city and, while it's NOT cheap, there are cheaper areas near by. Closer to the mountains it's all gentrified, but out on the plains, especially north east and south east of the city you can still find pretty affordable areas.

You should think about Minneapolis. The winters are gnarly, but very few climate change related problems on the horizon, reasonable cost of living, one of the most bike friendly cities in the U.S.

Wichita, KS is a wonderful town with its own kind of chill vibe, and cost of living is low. But Kansas is definitely not a blue-ish state, despite its current Democratic governor.

Still, I love it here. But if I could pick up the city and move it over to Colorado or something, I would.

@ImADifferentBird I was going to say somewhere in Western Kansas would be good as Wichita is Koch-sucking territory, but OP said they're an introvert so they may be able to put up with the bullshit. Out on this side of the state it's mostly senile old people with backwards-ass views and the occasional extremist douche that the rest of the community laughs at the second they open their mouths.
