I'd like to retire right now, but unfortunately it will be in around 10 years at age 62. We live in Wisconsin currently, and don't plan to move until we decide where we'd like to retire to. We are both active, healthy, and independent to liberal. My wife has family in Prescott, AZ which is a nice area, but it's pretty conservative.
It seems like most of the areas we like are more conservative, such as Wyoming, Arizona, or Utah/Nevada. California would be nice, but we can't afford that. We do like the southwest, and we'd prefer to live at elevation around 5,000 feet where the humidity and bugs are less frequent.
Anyway, would you want to live in an area full of bible thumpers if you were a liberal? I've found most people generally leave you alone if you don't talk politics. But state policies which it seems have been really brought to the forefront by some state laws ridiculousness lately highlight how the conservative mindset can really affect your life. Florida is the best example imho, it seems like they're itching to off a bunch of their senile seniors with their policies.
I suppose this topic could also apply to where one lives currently, and I think most of us just can't leave or move to Canada on a whim.
