(54,370 posts)The outer tip of Cape Cod, Massachusetts. While Mass. has its share of Trumpanzees, the Cape, especially, also has a huge educated population, often extremely environmentally conscious, helpful, engaged, kind, and aware. It is a tourist-based economy with expensive property prices and high local taxes, but if you want to be surrounded by sane, generous, intellectually curious people, that is the place to be. My wife and I have decided that, southerner though I am, born and bred, if we ever move back (for me, that is) to the USA permanently, it's to Massachusetts we will go.
For the record, I have heard that the Santa Fe area of New Mexico is inhabited by an overwhelming majority of similarly pleasant people. A friend of mine who was in the CIA, until Cheney decided to spite her husband by ending her career, ended up moving out there, and she never regretted it.
