These are sad stories, and i have sympathy for all the victims. But for circumstance any of us could be in the same shape as well. But if you can decide on a location in the US that has a better combination of weather, variety, opportunity, lifestyle and is free from any threat of earthquake, hurricanes, floods, icy roads, fire, civil unrest, pollution, and so on, please post, and we’ll see you there.
For me, it’s unlikely such a place exists, but suggestions are always welcome.
P.S. Texas and Florida are ruled out.
