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.
To answer those two questions at least, I definitely like the more forests and mountains more than the desert, and I really enjoy fishing and hunting.
That's a really good start. Do you need to be near a big city?
If I'm able to find work in the semiconductor industry (or similar industry), then I would prefer the smaller city/towns. But I know that is probably not possible, so in that regard, I'm a bit more open to the "big city". But that's only for work honestly. Which is why I'd try to find a place that is outside of the city limits.
Here's a list of your national forests in Texas with hunting: https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/texas/maps-pubs/?cid=FSWDEV3_008434
I'll take a look at that. Thank you.
