I've never been particularly thrilled at living under a bunch of government, and it's only getting worse in California. More and more, I want to move "somewhere else", and I really like the idea of a "Free State" type of situation.
What would someone be looking at, money-wise, to have a nice, snug little place on a few acres, maybe near a pond or lake, that's "remote" enough that they don't have to see other houses or hear other people's daily activites, yet reasonably close to "civilization"?
And by "civilization", I don't mean much more than a place to buy the necessities of life, go out for dinner once in a while, maybe a theater, etc. The bigger the "big city", the farther away I'd prefer it
As far as a location in the state, reasonably close (within maybe 2 hours) of an airport would be nice. I know there isn't going to be any "San Diego weather", but maybe a part of the state where the weather is less severe?
As far as work, all I really know how to do is computers, so I guess I'd have to be reasonably close to a relatively "big city". I've thought about getting into law enforcement, too, so somewhere where I could maybe join a Sheriff's Department or something could work out.
It's important to say, I'm from California, but I'm no Californian
I do admit to liking the weather, but i'm not into a big city life. I go to work, hang out with my dog, and chit chat with friends some. As long as I can get cable or satellite TV, Internet access, and be near a library, I'm happy.
