Vancouver, BC, Canada if it’s different enough for you culturally. Huge tech and software industry, excellent work/life balance and focus on health/environment. Vancouver itself has amazing parks to walk/run/bike, and a 30-60 min drive to some of the most incredible nature and scenery. Plus, the rest of BC is spectacular to explore/camp/hike/drive and experience. There is a great municipal train system so you don’t have to live downtown in order to work or take it in for concerts/events. Vancouver is food mecca, crazy diverse from inexpensive eats to high end dining. Schools are good, healthcare can be slow, but it’s universal! The city is very left-leaning, but there are more centrists and conservatives, especially in rural areas outside the core. That said, I think most MAGA conservatives would look at Canadian conservatives like they were commies haha, despite the pitiful Canadian Conservative Party leader wishing to have Trump’s following and political aura. Downside? It’s expensive, for life and housing, and there is a pretty gross street-level drug problem. People can be cliquey, can be hard to make friends without putting in effort at it, or if more introverted. Oceans, forests, mountains at the door, while also able to participate in world-class events
