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.

NM has what you're looking for; cost of living is very low, you can kind of pick the climate you want. We're also blue as a twitter check-mark. We're not super-diverse though; mostly white and Mexican descent depending on where you hang your hat.

    Thanks for answering them.. but I have to say I had a good laugh at people not knowing NM. It makes sense though, if people don't know the name well maybe not many people have driven up prices there yet

    Lol. Not even a minute after I answered that, I was stumped by someone saying MD. Took me a minute to remember Maryland exists. Also there's a large part of the population that hears New Mexico and assumes that since it has Mexico in the name it can't possibly be a state in the US.
