Well by You is a highly Rated Yakima Washington, this town is rated as a top place to retire by money magazine.
If you want lower crime and a wide variety of weather, and love freedom Black hills South dakota offers alot. I personally love Jackson Hole Wyoming... probably the most Gorgeous small town anywhere with awesome people and Scenery.
But TSW is probably right Florida may be the best place for Weather even though the traffic sucks, along with the economy there I would Retire there. I will be there hopefully in 15 years. I love Sarasota If your Rich WOW Nice !!
If your not wealthy the Redneck areas in Florida are great no snobs low crime less traffic and people and Trees! you can hunt fish shoot guns Wheel, Golf walk the beach. fish . Just get away at least an hour on the road from any big city and you will find redneck nirvana, hey try Daytona if you like racing, then in the spring you can watch young College girls walk the beaches ....
