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.

Michigan definitely gets cold if you’re north. Places like Holland, MI seem a bit warmer

Shitload of snow too though, but that is all of Michigan

I don’t mind a bit of snow, especially considering I don’t commute or go anywhere

If you don't mind the snow, I can strongly recommend south east Michigan. I love it here. You could get a nice home with a large yard, especially if you go a little more rural. You are also likely going to be within an hour of DTW airport, which is a delta hub so you can fly to a lot of places direct.

Take a look at Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti, and Ferndale.

Thanks! Really feeling Michigan as an option

Lol it can be a lot some times but if you’re working from home you kinda get to choose to go out in it so not nearly as painful. Michigan is awesome.

Give it 10 years. With climate change we may be in the 50s and 60s all winter long.

Sad state of affairs for the world unfortunately have guided my choices in this matter
