I’m looking to move out of CA (I’m in LA) to another western/central state that has comparable’ish weather, diversity, music/art/active culture, and a nice 3 bed house is $500-600k or less. No kids, remote worker, near nature and open space. Any success (or cautionary) stories about CA relo’s you can share? City/neighborhoods reco’s?

I dont think anywhere else exists in the US with LA's climate, maybe some parts of Colorado are kinda the same? My friend likes Colorado Springs

Many places meeting your requirements will be "very redhat," that is one of the biggest tradeoffs if you're looking for LCOL. On the plus side, if you don't like red hats think of how much your vote will count!

Unfortunately due to the huge influx of LAers/NYCers moving to mid-sized cities around the US it is harder and harder to find a three bedroom under $500k in many, many places. Your mileage may vary of course! Just remember that while it isn't our fault, ours moves contribute to others in our new towns being pushed out for the same reasons we had to leave LA.

Can’t really beat LA weather… but I would check out Salt Lake City. Nature is amazing, there’s an international airport, and if you stay downtown there’s enough culture to get by (restaurants/parks/NBA/concerts/art collectives).

I would say only LA has the 3 down. Though I live in OC and visit LA. Maybe that's something worth considering.

My professional life at the moment is far from ideal. I’ve been on quarantine (long story, but a good one) for the last seven years. Royalties from my books don’t pay the bills. My entrepreneurial pursuits remain hampered. For the interim, I’ve been looking for a remote opportunity where I can leverage my skills in marketing, sales, social media, and elsewhere for a decent sum. I have a social media presence which, in recent years, reached millions. There has to be something exciting I can do.
