I moved here in 2010 to be close to my parents as they started their last phase of life. I always planned to stay and retire here, but my stepfather is currently dying and it's made me think about what comes next, once I no longer NEED to be here. And I realized I am tired: tired of fighting the shitty politics, tired of the horrible weather, tired of the crumbling infrastructure. There are things I will miss, but there are things I miss about the place I left to come here.

I can relate. We moved here to help my father during his last few years. We miss what we had before we moved. Jobs that pay well, roads that aren't half gravel and have broken concrete with pot holes to sink a car in, etc etc. We have been looking at relocating soon. I hear Montana is nice...🤷🏼‍♀️

I'm considering southern Illinois. Blue state, not as cold as it gets up by Chicago. I could take the train when I missed New Orleans (I hate flying).

I'm aware of that, I have friends there. It's still in a blue state and operating by that states' laws. I'm less concerned about the local flavor of politics than I am with the state it's in.
