Which state to live in?
I don't know why anyone would want to live in Utah.
WA, OR, and CA are definite outs on the west.
AZ has one drawback---someplaces still have restrictive smog checks even on older cars, and some have posted here, they even check 67--WHICH NEVER HAD!!!! SMOG!!!CONTROLS!!!
There's always MT if you don't mind cold. I live in Idaho because I'm too poor to leave. The problem with N Idaho is that the whole state is run by the rich tater farmers in Boise--and they have no idea there even IS a N Idaho.
If you don't mind poor schools for your kids, ...........................
(North Idaho --- it's a state of the mind)
