    Tennessee, or South Carolina, but I am biased. Mild winters, summer is not horrid, people are great. Land is reasonable. An electrician will do well in either.

    I will second or third Tenn. Moved here 4 yrs. ago from Maryland. Cost of living is one of lowest in nation. Great schools, low taxes [no state income tax] great people
    but stay away from Nashville and other LARGE cities [true in most states]. I live 50 mi. from Nashville and 3 miles from a small town. Deer, Turkey and Bobcat in my back yard. Son-in-law [moved here also] is an electrician also and has plenty of work.

    SW MN is still small town friendly but 5 months of COLD and snow are a downside! If you like temp extremes this is the place! +100f to -31f!

    even though I HATE the green bay packers, Green Bay WI is right up your alley. Its big enough to be called a city but still the people are almost like a larger town. Theres good hunting and fishing very close by and winters are not to bad. Summers are great without the high heat and humidity of the south. Crime and drug rates are low for a city to boot. Great place if you want a smaller city to raise kids.

    Might as well; the rest of California has already moved there... I lived in the area for about 7 years. Lived in Chino Valley, then Dewey, then Prescott Valley where I bought a home. Californians love it there as it is better than California, but still full of crime and jerks. I saw road rage every single day. Couldn't drive to Home Depot without seeing somebody lose their mind in traffic. Had a suicide by cop three houses down and a homeless guy murdered four blocks away.

    Great weather and great outdoors, though. I loved gold prospecting and exploring the old mines. Can't beat that area for outdoor activities. Just couldn't stand the people.

    Moved back to where I grew up about four years ago and love it! I've seen two cases of road rage in four years...

    I'll fourth it. Moved here 2 years ago from Ga and like it a lot. No state tax, and low cost of living. Folks are polite and keep to themselves. I have lived in NJ, MS, GA and now TN. I like it here.

    There is work both Fed and private sector all over the state.

    Advice on places to move to..

    Texas. Just about any city that isn’t Austin. No state income tax. Homeschool friendly. I’m partial to the Hill Country area around Bandera and Kerrville. I thought Gonzales county was beautiful too on the couple of occasions I have been there. West Texas is also nice if you like 85mph speed limits and 4hrs of nothing. Property tax and sales tax are both high though. Always thought Kentucky and Tennessee were beautiful, might have to look into their state income taxes, etc.

    well you should come to Michigan. We need more reasonable people here! Houses are cheap here in Saginaw and there is work for a good electrical guy. Michigan is home school friendly but there is a state income tax and there is registration of hand guns. Fall colors are coming soon.

    It's said that Ct is vying for the Amazon HQ, if so you would still NOT want to move to Ct. Trust me!

    hithard,

    Inasmuch as several people have suggested TEXAS, I'll go a step farther & suggest most anyplace SOUTH of a line drawn from Livingston, through San Marcos & thence west over to the western TX border.
    (While I was raised in Northeast TX/Camp County, you'll find the weather nicer down south of Austin. = My part of TX is frigid in the wintertime & the Summers are just as HOT as south TX is.)

    yours, tex

    If we win the lottery, I'd like to move to East Tennessee or Western North Carolina. I moved from upstate NY to Alabama In 1972, with a short and horrible stop in Pensacola for three months. I fell in love with the GSMNP some years ago when my wife took me to Gatlinburg for my birthday. As much as I love Alabama it wouldn't take much to get me to spend the last few years of my life up there. I'm pretty sure Dollywood can use electricians.

    I'd LOVE to live in Prescott, but I'm afraid that it won't be long before it's bigger than I'd prefer. Add in there are a LOT of Liberal CA folks moving there.

    As I have stated on this site before, immigrants from California did not create the septic tank that is the west coast of WA, OR, city of Denver or any problem AZ may have. They all created their own. Many people retired from the phone company at the time I did and the several of the ones who moved to OR moved back to CA because of damp weather. One friend told me he was spending his pension check on doctor bills because of his wife's arthritis. They moved to Hemet, CA and the problem went away. My wife and I drove over much of the west looking for a place to move and decided to just stay in CA although we did move to a rural area but at the rate they are building houses it will not be rural long. We tried Prescott, AZ but it was 105% on Labor DAY and houses were more expensive than CA. We drove all the way across Wyoming and I must say that is the biggest nothing state in the union, at least of the ones we I have been in and that is many . It is no wonder that their population keeps falling. We drove out of Utah into Wyoming and entered the north east of South Dakota into the Black Hills and there was nothing to see in between. Also as I have stated, Californians are the best people you can have move to your state. All I have known were gun owing Republicans and were trying to get away from the Democratic nonsense that runs this state.

    I'm with 2ndamendmentnut. Central Texas. Stay at least 40 to 50 miles outside the Austin city limits and you should be fine. The Hill Country north and west of Austin is growing pretty fast. Most around here are immigrants from north of the Red River and Kali. Most from our southern border stay south of us or go on further north. Lots of great outdoor stuff year around. No pesky snow in the winter, but a good air conditioner is a must in the spring, summer and fall(and some of the winter).

    I will say this about TN, I lived there in 1985 and loved it, had to move because of work and I went back in 2012 to visit and I could not believe the change in the area, people everywhere, at this rate TN will soon be a state to stay away from. when everyone wants to move there it soon becomes like all the other places to avoid, of course its what you want, if you like places to entertain you , places to eat on every block, and other big city conveniences than you will like it, me I don't like those things and value my privacy slow life style, I have no interest in fancy eating places or entertainment places or busy highways.

    All you need to do is live 30 miles away from Memphis, Nashville, or Knoxville and its pretty much small town USA.
    Cities are cities, no matter what state you live in. 95% of them are exceeding their infrastructure and the end result is traffic jams and crowds and small lots for house.
