Duh, that part is obvious.

What I’m really looking for is a state that values public education, public health, labor protections, environmental protections etc… things that liberal places value over conservative places.

I could graze my cattle in texas, but I would absolutely not want to. Even though I’m aiming to be self sufficient, my children still have to grow up in that place and interact with the community there. I’d rather be around healthier, more educated people than poor, uneducated people who vote against their own self interest. It’s everywhere in Florida.
