I wonder how affordable St George Utah and surrounding area might be, it’s certainly a far more attractive urban environment than most nowadays. I would prefer to live in a smaller place but if I wanted to move to a decent American city I would seriously look at places like that. Maybe Colorado Springs is a contender, I have not been there for a long time. When they list places as small as Richmond, Indiana that makes it apples and oranges really, the only real city I see in that list is Oklahoma City.
“St George Utah and surrounding area...” is OK if you do not consume alcohol...
“Maybe Colorado Springs is a contender, ...” it’s very expensive there.
