Looking for suggestions for a place to move in the US as a remote employee (lemmy.ml)

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

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

"Bluish state" or "makes sense financially".... pick one because AFAIK they seem to be mutually exclusive. If you find somewhere like this with good broadband, please let me know so we can be neighbors!

Yeah, 500k might get you further in bumfuck nowhere, but good luck finding a grocery store, hospital, or job within 50 miles of you.

Your closest neighbor will also probably be Blind Terry who fought in Korea and is very racist.

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.
