Why?

Beautiful areas. No gravel roads

No gravel roads? Have you ever been to Arkansas?

Is it more expensive than Southlake? I admit I haven’t lived in Dallas for several years.
I do know that I googled our old house in Far North Dallas and it sold three years ago for $1.3M which was crazy. I think it had to be Cali buyers. 😏

No, median home in Southlake is over 1 Million.

Cost of living is mucho better. Many retired people can no longer afford to leave near the mountains or oceans thanks to Joe Biden.

What does Joe Biden have to do with this Rico? What the phuque are you talking about?
You been diagnosed with Joe Biden Syndrome? You really are a dumb phuque…

Look dude you show you live in Montezuma Iowa. Population 1500 people in the middle of nowhere. If that’s your thing that’s awesome. Des Moines is a nice city. We all love Iowa City. College towns keep you young. And yes, the places we all wanted to retire to 20-25 years ago are not so secret because they are all great places to retire to. So they’ve gotten expensive. Which means I’ll probably retire here in KC and rent a VRBO near my kids in the Winter for a few months at a time. But as I get older the cold, the snow, the dreary days depress me. Beach or mountains for me in the Winter moving forward.

And in Iowa as shitty as the weather gets, what is truly depressing in tge fall and winter is the lack of sunshine! It is common to go 3-4 days at a time and never see the sun shine..the lack of sunshine just beats the shit out of a person over time.
Back in the day what I enjoyed about college (New Mexico) was the sunshine! There is nothing prettier than a New Mexico blue sky!

You'd die in Portland OR then.

Retirees look at Climate as a major concern. Winter in Iowa
is not appealing. Perhaps Texas and Arizona will continue to
be favorite places to retire as Florida recedes into a lower choice.

Retiring in Iowa doesn't mean you can't leave. Many of my friends winter in FL or AZ.

Also, when you get old (like me), excessive heat is actually a bigger problem than excessive cold. Or, at least in my experience.

Nothing like Iowa. And yes
