Retiring outside of california
Hi all- my husband and I currently live in the Bay Area and while we love it, we are contemplating a move out of state i the next 3-5 years for tax purposes. We love the weather here ( not too hot nor too cold, lots of sunlight needed for mental health) and the progressive nature of our people. Can we get that anywhere else? Other items of importance to us are safety, closeness to nature, and a strong sense of community. Thanks in advance!

I think this is probably more a question for Retirement Reddit, but I know Californians who've moved to North Carolina for some of these criteria. A local friend with politics I'd describe more as moderate than liberal is considering splitting retirement between Taos and Tucson. If you can handle humidity, that opens up states with liberal pockets (Atlanta GA, Austin). If you can't handle humidity, you'd better be ok with snow (Maryland, Massachusetts, although both considered high tax states).
