NM has what you're looking for; cost of living is very low, you can kind of pick the climate you want. We're also blue as a twitter check-mark. We're not super-diverse though; mostly white and Mexican descent depending on where you hang your hat.
What does NM stand for?
New Mexico.
Thanks for answering them.. but I have to say I had a good laugh at people not knowing NM. It makes sense though, if people don't know the name well maybe not many people have driven up prices there yet
Well I'm coming from Europe, we don't hear abbrevations of US states very often ;)
Lol. Not even a minute after I answered that, I was stumped by someone saying MD. Took me a minute to remember Maryland exists. Also there's a large part of the population that hears New Mexico and assumes that since it has Mexico in the name it can't possibly be a state in the US.
If you find 7 mins to kill and havent heard/seen the gary gulman stand up about abbreviating the states it's pretty good.
