I'm thinking hard about heading south in search of warmer weather along with a new job. I don't mind heat, but I agree humidity is no fun. Minnesota got the crazy cycle of arctic winter and tropical summer like a manic depressive season change every year. I didn't like either one much.

I do love me the desert sw but I grew up in and around the forests so I need the Sierras or Rockies nearby. The midwest has its own set of issues and anything around the great lakes seems to be the most bipolar. If you WERE to leave up here I'd presume it would be to a different state and not just within Idaho?
Oregon is a nope. Southern Idaho and Utah are too Mormon-y. I have never been to AZ, NM, TX, etc.
NM is probably better than AZ as AZ has taken in countless CA escapees, as has TX. I haven't heard as much about NM in that regards. AZ does have the forests and mountains near Flagstaff that are nice.
NM is awful in many freedom metrics. it is improving a bit though, and is home to Hatch and their famous chilis.
It's hard since every state has their own set of shit. Hell maybe Kansas? But then there's the tornadoes...
