I've moved around a lot but I'm still looking for that perfect place to call home. I've narrowed it down to at least a somewhat specific wants/don't wants list to progress with my search and visits. Where should I go next?
*Sorry for ADD writing style*
THE LIST:
I want to be in close proximity to prime /out/ adventures (hike, bike, snow, etc) BUT not in bumfuck. I'd like to be within distance to a night life (restaurants and bars, I don't mean clubs), some established shopping (BestBuy, REI, Target, a Mall). I love to /out/ but I also like to cozy up with my 4kUltra tv and have a weekend of twitch streams and gaming (I need that 100mbps+ speed)
I love seasons, just not extreme on one side.
Southern AZ has great warm weather, but it's hotter than the devil's asshole after Taco Bell and there's no variation other than the further shortening couple months of monsoons.
Northern Idaho was gorgeous in the summer and Fall but the winters last 6 months and after 3-4 months it starts to wear on me, plus it rains like Seattle which is too often for me. I love the rain, just not all the effing time.
The Midwest was my childhood. Amazing growing up in the middle of the woods hunting, ATV, snowmobiles, dirt bikes, camping all from our acreage in our back yard with no one close to us for miles. I remember it being fucking cold for a large part of the year though and the mosquitos alone are enough to prevent me from stepping foot back in those states. Pretty bumpkin too.
I've lived in:
Southern Arizona
Northern Idaho
Michigan
Ohio
Currently living in Southern California
Visited in my Search:
Boulder, Colorado - PROS- lots of good restaurants and breweries, university town with a lot of cute girls, established shopping.
-CONS- Mainstream everything, feels like snooty California, expensive
tl;dr
Shout /out/ to the best state to live in
