Somewhere with no car inspection, no income tax, no property taxes and no close neighbors.

A guy did that on state land up by Rattlesnake Lake a couple years ago.
Loaded up his camo bunker with beans and ammo. They used dogs and smoke canisters to extract him. Eventually.

It also includes extreme poverty, rampant drug and alcohol addiction, violent crime rates that make Detroit look like Disneyland and the very real danger of being mauled by a bear or moose. They bought 85 acres of land For $8,000 and built a house out of two sheds. No power no potable water and no sewers. Oh and everything costs about 5 times what it would in the south. This is their ideal retirement location. I however do not feel that the bad trade offs are even remotely reasonable just to have no rules!

I've looked at this one a couple times, but I don't think there's a single good answer.
Nationally, SoCal is stupid expensive, hard on car people, and ugly. NorCal is the same, but at least it's pretty. AZ east thru TX is unlivable for their 7+ months of summer. Louisiana through Georgia is swamp ass humidity and hurricanes. Anything north of MA, up to Maine, and west to Montana gets into unlivable 6+ month winters and salted roads that eat your car. PNW has great temps and views, but it rains all the damn time and is too expensive. I grew up in coastal WA, and sunlight affective disorder is a real thing. Nebraska east almost to the coast is tornados and rednecks. Colorado seems nice, but expensive, and lacking a beach to justify the expense. Globally, Canada is gorgeous and properly populated (plus it must be nice that the world doesn't hate you/think you're dumb), but Victoria BC is Canada's Miami FL. It's like Alaska; great in summers. OZ is cool, but everything is trying to kill you. Singapore looks great for city life, except for the whole dictator thing. Japan for the women, but it's crowded and they seem determined to destroy their car culture. Mexico also for the women, food, and cheapness, but also corruption and violence. UK has terrible weather and tax everything to death. Germany is lovely, but very anti-car. Africa has shit roads, ME has shit politics, South America has some combination of both. I'll be a tourist all my life I guess. |

North of Kirkland is "In the bush" lol I have a boy in Timmins. It's nothing much to write home about. Mind you, my home town is headed the same direction. I don't think we've seen addictions at this level before. I would imagine it's snowing there, no? ETA I'm surprised you can get a cell signal |

The gold mines in the area have opened up again and they hit a diamond vein so infrastructure such as cell towers is all top notch. Loaf of bread is $6 but you have great cell service. Meth and crack are dirt cheap there.
