I know there are places that would be cheaper, but I prefer to live where I feel free to openly be a Democrat and do things like drive around with a Biden sticker on my car without fearing for my life. Even a city like Austin, TX, that sounds pretty cool in its own right, loses a lot of its cool for me when I think about it as being an island of sanity surrounded by MAGA-infested waters.
