Have you considered Hawaii? That's one big reason that I moved here from chilly Philly.

Unforutanlately everywhere the rainbow flags waves proudly, the cost of living is very high.

It costs less to live among the ignorant than to live among the enlightened.

Not necessarily. I bought a small 2 BR, 1 bath house on three acres near Hilo for $85000. It's completely off grid, 3000w solar, 10,000 gallon catchment, cesspool. No electric bill, no water/sewer bill. I spend $10-$15 a month on propane for the stove, hot water, and dryer.
Food and other commodities are generally 10-25% more expensive than on the mainland. But you have a 12 month growing season, and local produce is quite affordable. So, depending on how you choose to live, it's doable.

@Ludo nice

@obtusethevague1 A vlid point. The emotional costs would be very high.

Fuck it, lets move to Morocco!

I'll go-living an hour south of you I'm up for a road trip - Key West -friendly rainbow people.

southwest is cool

@obtusethevague1 hot and humid just the way I looooooove it!

@Charlene, then the Big Island is for you! #RainForest!

@Ludo can't afford it there..Portugal maybe..

@Charlene, you can't afford Kona side, neither can I. But Kona is practically desert. On the East side, you can get 3 acres for $20K, and a small, comfortable, off-grid house for under $100K.
Not that it's all rainbows and lollipops here. Thanks to a tropical climate and a very generous state in terms of free medical care and Food stamps, it's possible to survive here with virtually no income, and many do. Unfortunately, the ills of poverty come along with that. Drug use is quite high (no pun intended) with meth the major drug of choice. Most meth heads support their habit through theft, whichis also a huge problem. Most of these modest and not-so-modest houses have sturdy gates and one or more large dogs.
I don't know what it's like in Portugal. But there is a lot to consider.

@Ludo yeah..20k is way out of reach on Soc.Sec...and I've already lived around meth freaks in Atlanta so Really done with that headache..but thanks..
