Asheville is on the list. One of my favorite towns. Totally liberal, hippies everywhere. Dozens of GREAT outdoor/indoor restaurants. Mountains all around.

But it's a "big city" with big city problems. Traffic, crime, homelessness all that stuff. And expensive. Do I want that or do I want Mayberry? I don't know. It's a mind fuk. Seriously.


Asheville has 80K people. That's hardly a big city. But if that's really how you feel, then Mayberry it is. ;)

If you could just move anywhere, and were so busy you didn't really have time to think about it a lot, what would you do? So many +/- on everything, every place.

I did that......I moved to Seattle. Its great. When you pick the place because it fits most of your needs and likes, it makes for a great living environment. But even after all that, there was a fly in the ointment. Seattle ain't the friendliest place in the world and it took a while to make friends. So I am not sure that throwing a dart at a dart board ain't the better approach. Besides, NC is a great state.......I think you won't got to far wrong picking a place there.

I would vote Oregon as the most civilized state in the union.

Alaska is easily the most together state i.e. very progressive constitution and social structure, social systems intact, great fiscial situation, fine public schools, few homeless, lots of work and pristine environment.
