Relocated
Because we had a corporate relocation to an area without prior attachment, and many of those that we did know had either been relocated again or left after their retirement, we had no strong interest in remaining there. Add then a definite problem with the city ( let’s just say it made international news) , along with the lack of the views we wanted to have, and the choice was easy.
We moved over a couple of thousand miles to a beautiful area, great unobstructed views of mountains (almost 160 degrees), close to rivers, lakes, and with a single level house (smaller than what we had) and its been good. Even taxes are lower, despite the higher individual tax rate, due to lower property tax and no sales tax.
We had visited all fifty states over the years and had visited many locations to determine whether any fit our desire/lifestyle— then focused on the one that we liked most. Took a few years to find our house but everyone that has visited has enjoyed the views and area as much as we are ( including the tourists)....
