      This LA adventure is probably the last chapter of my premium mediocre neourban core living adventure. 10 years of this, barring a small 18 month suburban break in Vegas in 2011-12. Time to go domestic cozy.

      Unless there’s a drastic change in either affordability of a big metro I have strategic reason to be in, or a sudden jump in my income, I’m gonna look for an affordable small town to move to in the next few years. Priorities: airport, healthcare, near water, preferably coastal.

      NOT looking for suggestions. I can look at a map, make a spreadsheet, and google to populate it same as any of you. Looking for a cheap trick to think about this right, get oriented for whatever the strategy should be. Right now it’s barely an idea let alone a strategic one.

          Peg it to a premium mediocre brand that only works in fancy yet affordable exurbs 🤔

          Maybe an SAT score to median income ratio?

          i've been working through what i want a 'day in the life' of me to be, in very practical terms, over a long time period. not abstractions, rather: 'i want to walk on a long private wooded trail after eating a dinner of homegown food'. find the place to accommodate those needs.

          another way to think about this might be around habits. a home is habit headquarters. what types of habits do you have, do you wish you had, do you wish you could change or remove? how might the particulars of a place enhance or detract from your ideal set of rituals?

          For a long time, I used access to coffee quality as the baseline indicator of where I would live

          The luxury of simple criteria when young 🙂

          American metropolies, especially LA, are pretty hostile to human life forms. Any place designed on a bit more human scale will make you feel better.

          I feel fine, just not wealthy enough to keep feeling fine at LA or even Seattle rates for any length of time 😂

          One criteria you could use is to see what city's peripheral neighborhoods allow you easy access (<15 min walk) to the grocery store, coffee shop, library, restaurants, and entertainment, while also having easy access to downtown when needed.

          I thought "coastal" in USA means either "hurricane land soon to be flooded" or "earthquake zone soon to be flooded".

          The middle is “this is so horribly depressing I wish there was a flood”
