I'd like to live in Vermont again, but the cost of living is higher than NYC. I'll stick to mid west Georgia.

Don't know where you live now but California has everything all within a days drive from where ever you are. If you don't like heat, I can't imagine living anywhere in the south, or even the rest of the east for that matter in summer.

Coatal Ca. moderate climates prevail, no snow in winter and with the exception of San Diego (which is a city anyway) no humidity and out flying bugs sizes are in check. No blood sucking 747's out here. Perhaps you like the mountain? Got plenty of those to choose from.

If you like it cooler then try the Pacific Northwest. Very green all year too. My dad once lived in a small town called Napavine, Washington. Trust me if you don't like cities, you'll like Napavine lol.

I could go on but I'm sure I've ruffled a few feathers from those not from the west coast lol

The only places to avoid in California are 1. the deserts. Hotter than hell in summer and drier than an oven. 2. the Central Valley. It's flat, looks like the Midwest actually and also really hot in summer.

I would say coastal Northern California would perhaps best suit you. It does for me. Just google Marin and Sonoma counties and take a look for yourself. You can also try Santa Cruz and Monterey Counties. make sure you google images as well.

There as well as Santa Cruz and Mendocino Counties. Great kickback lifestyles. If you're a 420 user, in Mendocino Co. you can legally grow up to 25 plants on your property from what I understand lol

Ah, you're almost always gonna get some rain in nice cool mild climates. Norther Cal, however has a dry season though. It rains shovels and pitchforks during the winter! But very little lightening, it's rare out here, Tornados happen once every 5 or 10 years and they're tiny. Generally Tornados and Hurricanes and blizzards are things we watch on the news. Frost is normally as cold as it gets. Unless you're in the mountains of course.
