I'd be ok with this but not the wife. Maybe somewhere in the Asheville area she'd tolerate. I'd have to get divorced to move out into the middle of Wyoming.
What about the Virgin Islands, Caymans or another business friendly Caribbean island?

I like the mountains and cooler weather. I'm good with seeing a beach every few years.

There’s something wrong with that house if it’s only 700k

The city of SF is expensive as hell, but I have friends that live in San Anselmo and Fairfax which are about 30 minutes north of the city in Marin County and prices are more reasonable out there. Its still expensive but you can find a 3 br/ 2 bath in the 650k range which is about what a 3/2 goes for where I live in Dallas. And both towns have a nice downtown area and beautiful, mountainous countryside full of mountainbike and hiking trails. Santa Rosa and Petaluma are a little further north but both are cool little towns with semi-affordable houses.

I can completely understand that but I can live without cold weather (for long periods) for the rest of my life.

I like New Braunfels. Not everyone wants to live in some dense urban area
Agreed. For a place that's small, it has a lot to offer. It's a great place to raise a family. A huge water park, the 2 most popular rivers to tube on in the state. Canyon Lake is 15 minutes away. Plus a nice downtown bar scene. Along with another bar scene in the legendary Gruene. Which is basically attached to the north side of the town. Low crime rate. Hill country living. Plus it's close to two large cities. Fantastic deals on some picturesque real estate. You can go from Canyon Lake to Ben White and Mopac in an hour. Downtown SA in less than that.
I can see why people would prefer a big city but, NB is a fantastic alternative. In a state that's thriving.

I don’t understand how anyone can live in NYC or SF

wow look at property value in the one of the hottest real estate market in the world vs the middle of nowhere crazy
Since you’ve never been to New Braunfels, I’ll explain. It’s the prettiest part of the state, from a landscape perspective. Beautiful rolling hills covered with scrub oak. Clear running rivers, huge lakes, for tubing, kayaking, watersports, fishing. Easy access to hunting. Lots of vineyards and wineries. Easy drive to Austin or San Antonio.
Great weather, except for 6 months it’s hot AF. Barbecue and Tex Mex. IMO it’s the best place to live in the state.

Only 30 minutes from a major metropolitan area
Hell I can throw a rock into Nashville and my city friends still tell me I live too far from the city. Posted on 7/1/19 at 6:56 am to texag7

Less than an hour to San Antonio where you can catch the Spurs.
Meanwhile: Giants, Niners, Dubz.
and a competitive sharks team and a mls franchise.
And 3 top schools.

I live 30 minutes from BR and 45 minutes from Lafayette.
My commute is nearly identical (timewise) to my coworkers who live either in the city or in the direct suburbs.
One guy lives 3 or 4 minutes away, but that's it.
Zero crime where I am. Nice views. Peaceful. My only complaint is the absence of fiber optic. But with 5G tech and their laying cable right now, the problem will be fixed in the next few months.
So 30 minuted isn't exactly all that bad.

Crazy that people pay a lot of money to live in cool places. And not as much to live in crappy suburbs. Central Austin TX costs a frick ton. People are paying a half million dollars for a ranch house in a gentrifying hood
Some people don't want to spend 45+ minutes one way commuting to/from work.

That corridor between San Antonio and New Braunfels is quickly filling in with houses.
