Refuges for stranded liberals? [View all]

[jmowreader]

In a couple of years, the only two reasons I'm still in Idaho will be gone and I will be able to go too. But where?

What I am looking for in a new home:

1. Either east coast or west coast.

2. I like cities.

3. An hour or less from an ocean.

4. No farther south than Philadelphia on the east coast; Washington or California on the west coast.

5. I can find work so that's not a huge concern.

Right now I'm planning to get the three licenses you need to work in a day spa (massage, manicuring and esthetics) and am looking at Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Boston as possible homes.

Many people would say stay where you are and try to fix it. This state can't be fixed; it gets more broken every day.
