Florida.

• Family close by
• No state individual income tax and pass through income on S corps
• Business friendly regulatory environment and access to a large and diverse market with a growing GDP and wealth migration from other states
• Good fiscal policy
• Libertarian/Republican leaning and strong anti-Socialist population
• Currently working toward no property tax on homesteads and already have greenbelt laws reduced taxes on agricultural property built into the constitution
• Constitutional homestead exemption protects unlimited equity in a debtor's primary residence in state court proceedings in case you need a plan B in life
• Civil asset forfeiture requires proof “beyond a reason-able doubt” for forfeitures, so the cops can’t just raid your safe and steal your money and force you to prove how you acquired it… that allows for financial privacy on some level and security from unstable banks.
• Castle doctrine and constitutional carry for self defense.
• We didn’t lock down during COVID and are currently working toward removal of all government vaccine mandates (medical freedom).
• Rule of law
• Anti-woke anti-Sharia law policy
• Year round gardening/farming (no snow, minimal frosts/freezes) in a Mediterranean to subtropical climate. Mangoes, Avocados, Lychees, Bananas, etc.
• Outdoor living with sunshine year round (waterspouts, mountain biking, golf, etc.)
• Great water supply
• Clean air
• Great beaches
• Cultural diversity without a woke agenda
• High speed trains
• Space port and views of rocket launches
• A lot of amusement parks for rollercoaster along with other entertainment.
• Clean cities
• and more...

Florida. Winter is just a rumor and there are hundreds of miles of beaches. No state income tax and housing prices are half what they are in the northeast. There are plenty of theme parks and great sports teams. The governor is doing a great job.

Thanks for the MHO

Oregon has my kind of weather, I could spend all day just looking around the Columbia River. There are mountains and lakes and rivers, coastline but also desert, just not a crazy hot desert like mine is. There are hippie artsy towns, and very conservative towns with farms and one big city if you want that too.

I like California.
It has the best weather of any state.
It has fewer annoying bugs than more humid states.
The only poisonous snake in California is the rattlesnake.

It has 840 miles of direct general coastline along the Pacific Ocean. However, when taking into account the state's intricate tidal areas, bays, inlets, and offshore islands, the total shoreline stretches up to 3,427 miles.

It has a wide variety of terrain from beaches to mountains to deserts to valleys, including varied coastlines, the coastal range, the Sierra Nevada Mountains, dormant volcanoes, Yosemite, Devil's Postpile, Joshua Tree National Park, Death Valley, the Owens Valley, Mono Lake, volcanic landscapes, the Mojave Desert, the Central Valley, wine country, and a wide variety of unique flora, including redwood forests, the giant Sequoias, bristlecone pines.

There are lots of outdoor activities, including hiking, camping, fishing, water sports, motor sports, and many ski resorts.

There are historic places dating back to the Spaniards and the gold rush days.

Big cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco have endless attractions. But there are fun and interesting attractions all over the state.

My two favorite states are Hawaii and California because of the kindness of the people that live in these states, including California, my home state, and the incredible beauty of both states.
