What I'm looking for:
low cost of living
4 seasons, mild climate, I can't do sweltering summers anymore or depressing winters
A place where at least the urban areas are progressive
Generally good schools, they do not have to be top notch private schools, just good public school system
A place where people aren't rude for no fu'c'king reason ( most of east coast disqualified here )
Mountains when I want them, beaches when I want them
So Far I have come up with North Carolina and Virginia, they seem to have everything
Am I missing any?
