Yep. Never regretted moving west. Always regretted moving east.Moving west was maybe the 3rd or 4th best thing I’ve ever done. Not sure I’ve met anybody that regrets it.

Biggest reason: Lack of humidity! Holy cow, a summer of dry heat blew my mind and was totally unexpected! I enjoy the outdoors so much more in the dry heat (and therefore cooler summer evenings). Am I the only non-native that values that?
Extremely insightful!!! I don’t have any delusions anymore at 61. I’m not happy in San Diego and I know in other states and towns many things would improve, especially red states. However, I know many things would be worse or frustrating. I’ve ALWAYS had a mind of my own and will go against the grain to some degree. I dislike secret handshakes, unwritten rules and the like in general. I’m extremely opinionated and speak my mind. I crave intelligent conversation and debates. I’m a thinker, an over thinker and quite OCD. I’m very loud. I’d worry I might unintentionally offend someone in a small town and everyone would hate me. Living in the suburbs and being pretty invisible is nice.There seems to be a common trait with people that want to move - there’s an unmet need that motivates. However, often the idea of a place is much different from reality, or at least the reality the person creates.
The ones most likely to resettle well, are the ones who are happy living where they are. Those that tend to burn bridges will eventually burn bridges in the new place. Those that make friends, will have friends where ever they go. The most particular, with the most complaints, will have the hardest time because, while some things might improve, many things will be worse.
Anytime someone new moves to town, any town from Alaska to Colorado to Wyoming or Idaho, the biggest predictor of how long they will last seems to be how similar it is to where they came from.
