I haven't looked seriously yet, perhaps to an outlying area of Seattle, maybe Port Angeles. I'd love to move to Oregon, but their tax structure would really screw me as a retiree (still years off). I've also been thinking about New Mexico after visiting there for a week a couple years ago. I am waiting until my kids are out and settled.

As for a housing crash... I don't think one is imminent. If it happens within the near future (< 10 years), it will be because we are in really deep trouble.

I think the dream of the Fed is that the dollar goes down to drive up inflation and then wages and then by proxy shrink the debt. But the box they have created has probably made all their desired outcomes impossible to occur together. And with impossible outcomes comes black flag events to provide cover, distraction, or final looting. Looking at some of the widespread and very public insanity which is emerging from the bowels of humanity, it's clear that an uncomfortably significant portion of the population is ready to go completely off the rails, ala the 30s in Europe. History says it can go from a vocal but insane segment to massive and incredibly destructive changes sweeping a nation with just a small push.

Which reminds me of a great film that illustrates this (in the first part anyway): Nowhere in Africa.
