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.

Are you working remotely or would you depend on the local economy for a job?

Because the big catch is, the places you can afford have no work.

Or even with remote work, you need broadband access, so no DSL, no Hughesnet.

This is why I moved to rural Oregon, paid mid-5 figures for a one-off trenched fiber line, and still came out on top.

Ideally remotely

In that case, look for small-ish towns with decent internet, that's really all you need.
