Southwestern Oregon sounds like it would also fit the bill for you too...in fact buy our place! 10 acres of rural heaven.Plus winter driving is a piece of cake compared to the east…

Well shiat. OK, I'm also open for suggestions I like the city, and I think I would prefer a more "liberal" environment than a conservative one. I'm also looking for warmth (whi…

Boston is absolutely the best, nay, only place to live. It's not cheap, but it is worth it.

Hm... cheap land, far from anything of value, no neighbors... Sounds like you want the good old midwest! Pretty sure land in Iowa/Nebraska/Kansas will be cheap and you can live rig…

Charlottesville, VA is a nice area. Small city with a inordinate amount of culture due to UVa.

I enjoyed the ten years that I lived in Nebraska. A lower cost of living. Also a slower pace of living. Good luck with yoru move techtrucker.

maybe mid to western MA would give you the feeling you want--plenty of space, hilly terrain (if you don't like the flat midwest), remote yet also still handy to the highways/NY/Phi…

I lived in Omaha for 6 years. It is not a bad place to live and I would consider moving back there if I ever lost my job. Clean, friendly, relatively low cost of living...

RE: Omaha My brother went to school there, met his now-wife there, and currently lives there. He loves the place, and I do enjoy visiting. I would recommend it to anyone who wan…
