More land, lowering costs, where would you move here in the West?

I think if you were in Denver today you would be wishing you could be in SD.

Just kidding, but it’s really COLD !!!! there right now.

Current weather

9 F
light snow:

The high temp was 20F

I love that Denver-Boulder corridor. Despite the 9 degree temps, where the hell is all your snow? 🙂 Looking at my ski widget, it’s showing a 25 inch base at A-Basin and 37 at copper. Next big dump, I’m going to go to Mammoth for a few days.

One other place worth considering: the Marble Falls area outside Austin. I actually have not been there (yet) but some friends just retired there two years ago and love it – close enough to Austin, but far enough away to feel remote. This last summer was freaky weather wise, though – a long string of 100+ degree days. Apparently there’s a whole bunch of nice little towns like that outside Austin.

At worst, it’s probably costing you $5,000.00 more per year to live in San Diego than it would cost to live in a less desirable place. Take a deep breath and relax. Don’t leave. Careful what you wish for.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. We want to stick to the West, west of Denver, so Texas is out and I’ve lived there before and no real desire to head back.

Brian, yep I agree on the middle of nowhere, not where we want to head. Job availability and a broad spectrum of industries doesn’t hurt.

We don’t want to leave SD necessarily, or even CA. Love SD and also the Bay Area which we almost moved to. However there have been some family circumstances in both of our families that has forced us to consider going somewhere with a lower cost base and more land.
