69. I would suggest Oregon west of Interstate 5

Your exact location would be on coast or inland enough for hot summer and where you are on cost and close urban-rural spectrums.

You look like you are in Oregon.

I have spent my entire life (except travel) between San Francisco/Berkeley and Portland/Corvallis west of Interstate 5 (Orleans, Berkeley, Weaverville, Redding, San Rafael, Danville, Corvallis, and Portland)

Lots of rivers and trees and ocean and snow and and universities and culture nearby plus the choice of liberal rural or liberal urban. Probably half the landscape is Federal, mostly National Forests. Good local food and wine too.

Portland is not international like the SF Bay Area but more like the Bay Area of 50 years past as far as congestion.
