I currently live in California, but it’s literally impossible to afford to buy a house.

Where are some good places to move to? I was thinking about Washington State, but I’m not sure I could handle the snow.

    Raleigh/Durham in NC. it’s a little bubble of progressive in a red state. Houses aren’t crazy yet. Lots of tech work. No snow.

      Been in this area for almost 35 years. Had to move further south (Johnston Co… like 30 min from downtown Raleigh) to find a house we could afford. Lived in Cary in a townhouse that more than doubled in rent in 10 years.

      Can confirm there are quite a few IT jobs. Been in IT since mid 90s.

      All in all would recommend this area.

      Same as Austin, but housing is not really affordable right now, unless you’re willing to live out in the burbs.

      How is the tech pay there? Right now my jobs average between $120k to $200k base.
