Thank you Paul, that confirms what I have so far been thinking about in
terms of places to move to. I have also heard good things about Wyoming,
South dakota, and someone, as strange as it may sound, also recommended
the far eastern parts of oregon. Not sure about that one, but that was one
recommendation as well.

Oregon is weird because it has a very wide mix of different locations with
very different cultures in the same state and while you might like the
far eastern part, you won't like the state politics as a whole (because
neither side does).

California also has a very wide mix of regions with liberal and
conservative regions across the state.  The liberal regions tend
to be coastal in regions with dense populations, while the
conservative regions tend to be inland and rural.

Or enclaves of the wealthy in urban areas.

 Orange county, perhaps.
 

We have plenty of enclaves of the very well off in Northern California as well. Some of these are in extra-urban areas where
the Wild fires are a risk. I live in a small enclave of the less well off, in my studio apartment with me, myself and I. And a few thousand
book and some ephemera.  Within a mile of my apartment there are
similar enclaves of poverty next to towering apartment building
where my whole stipend would not pay for a broom Closet but in which
the well-salaried will put out 3 grand/month for a modern studio.
My Studio was refurbised in the 1950s I believe and I have lived her
since 1974 so 50 years. Yes I voterd for rent control when the
people of San Francisco were presented with a ballot initiative.
Still I am paying about 5 times my move-in rent. The place
has had at least a dozen owners in that time.
And we have earthquakes, which are less destructive than tsunami
mostly because most are undectable.
