If you would like a gone galt type area populated by old hippies, rednecks, off-griders and other people who avoid the city like a plague, you might like it in west central Texas. But it is all either barter or small/home based businesses nearby-only chain stores are auto parts and a small grocery store-there is no fast food and the nearest big box is nearly 25 miles away.
There are 4 somewhat defined seasons, and we do have a real fall with changing leaves and all that-it does snow, but only now and then in winter, and it isn’t nearly as cold-people from the frozen north-snowbirds- who can take a few months off spend the winters here. But summers are long and hot-you might not care for that. Hope you find your ideal new place!
Thanks, I prefer cooler rather than hotter.
