Confused about dryer sheets
the property tax on that property in Georgia / gwinnett county would be about 3,200....
IIRC, you lost your last house in a wildfire. Living in that area, do you fear another fire? I have never been to the Shenandoah Valley area, but it is very pretty. Looks very peaceful, except for the traffic. No idea it was full of wineries. What about the distance to services? Hospital? Grocery stores?
But isn't there a significant amount of "voting with their feet?" Especially by retirees?

You might want to checkout the crime rate, since that seems to be a priority for you (Placerville is around average for the state):
California Crime Index City Rank
When we go to Placerville we leave on Wednesday and return home on Monday to avoid the traffic. We have a motor home and a very nice KOA is there. They are getting expensive as well with us paying between 63-73/night depending on the day of the week.
I’ve lived in several states. You get what you pay for.
I pay lots of taxes, last year sixteen grand to the feds and eleven grand to the state. I vote for tax increases. I like paying taxes to help my country and my state.
What's your problem?
I've lived in Alaska for 35 years, which is the lowest taxed state by a very wide margin.
It is a common misconception that the overall cost of living in Alaska is high. Not really true. Groceries and gas are high, but real estate is moderate and taxes are very low. Then there is the annual Permanent fund dividend, $1600 this year, which defrays the COL even more. I would say the COL in road connected Alaska is at least as low as AZ, which is a MCOL state.
And snakes and fireants...
Anyone on here from Wyoming?
I like the Tetons and Medicine Bow areas. How does Wyoming 'get ya'?
We live on the weather side so we have trade winds blowing all the time. When it is 90+ in Kihei it is 80 at our house, which for me is just right.
In NV there is no state income tax. Our home is worth 400k and property taxes are 700/year. They use the age of your home when figuring your taxes. Our house was built in 1950. Sales tax is over 8%.
