but frankly every state seems to have issues with immigrants, budgets, liberals, etc. and that includes TX.

Wyoming and North Dakota are good choices if that's your primary concern. One Illinoisan I know can work over the Internet, and he is planning to move to Wyoming, "... where the idiot-to-me ratio is much lower."

Love ND..Actually, I lived in Fargo for several years...2 of my kids were born there :) Wonderful people and country :)

My son went to UND up in Grand Forks too—one of his kids was born there.

As I want to buy a farmette, ND might be a bit too far north for me to do that, but I really appreciate the thoughtful reply and probs should look at ND more closely from a retirement/farmette standpoint...Oh, I know some have mentioned the “Banana Belt” in MT too, so there may be some warmer regions of WY and ND too :)
