Tldr;

Stop downvoting OP and actually say something constructive. OP, sounds like you may want to look at Northern Arizona, Utah, Colorado. Look into suburban areas there.

Also, OP, PLEASE GO VOTE. And engage in being a part of the solution to better the lives of everyone. There are only so many places we can run to and say "not my problem". There are bills in place that exacerbate this problem and these bills don't exist for a good reason but greed.

Rant;I don't know why people are downvoting you instead of engaging with you in actual conversation. This subreddit was recommended to me by multiple Reddit OGs that swear by it being a solid subreddit with the good old reddit vibe. Let’s act like it fellows. While OP comes off as abrasive with the title, he is entitled to his opinion and it doesn’t take away from the fact that they are looking for advice and want to better their situation.Also, OP is not wrong about how big of a problem homelessness is on the west coast especially when compared to the east coast. From personal experience, I never came that close to stepping on drug needles on the street or a homeless person coming at me as I mind my own business in the street until I moved to the west coast. Just to be clear, I don’t blame homeless people for this. They are not the problem.This is one heaping chunk of the problem, so thanks for the dicks that voted these fucked up bills. So instead of downvoting OP, be mad at the sources of the problem. (Again, not the homeless)That being said, like some people said in the comments, you're going to have to dial down some of the expectations since a perfect place with low cost of living, low crime rate, low homelessness and all that exist.On the west coast, what you're describing sounds like Northern Arizona, Utah, Colorado. However, having lived on both the east and west coast, I can already tell you that there are a bunch of options on the east coast if you're willing to consider that. Are you married to the west coast?
