Hey folks, I’m needing some input on where to move. Right now, I’m on the west coast in the semiconductor industry. I’ve been thinking about moving out of Oregon for a while now, and with how things are going in this state, I’m needing to get out and find a place that is more sane, red, freedom loving, and gun loving. So far I’ve been looking at places like Idaho, Texas, Arizona, and Tennessee that has work in the industry I work in, but I’m sure there are other places out there that I’m not fully aware of yet.

I won’t make a full list of “wants and needs” because I know that it’ll be pretty hard to checkmark all of them off. But I’ll at least name a few to help give you a better idea of what I’m looking for.

In terms of landscape and scenery, I prefer the mountains and forests a bit more than complete flat land, and someplace just outside of the city limits. I don’t care if I’m near the ocean or not (I can live without it). I would like to find a place that I can get a few acres of land for growing my own food as well. Lastly, would be a place that would be a good place to raise a family.

If you have any input/suggestions/tips for helping me out in this area then I’d greatly appreciate it. Thank you in advance for your input.
