I will be retiring soon and want to know what others think is the best place to retire. I am not looking for any of the big cities like Washington DC, California etc. A nice place that is diverse. I want to live someplace that is accepting of everyone - not blatantly racist. Not too overly expensive. Any suggestions? By the way I already live in Iowa. Do not plan to retire here.
"A nice diverse city that is accepting of everyone and not overly expensive; and isn't Iowa." - Could you possibly be a tad more general?
For your sake, I certainly hope the level of thought you have put into where you are going to retire ... doesn't represent the consideration you have given to other aspects of your pending retirement!

Give the Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill area in North Carolina a review.
Whatever you do, do NOT go to Wyoming! Brutal winters...constantly windy...nothing but cowboys...everybody's got a gun...nothing to do...you have to drive either a pick-up or a Subaru...
Yeah, you don't want to go there. Or at least wait a bit and let me get settled in first.
First places come to mind would be Texas, Colorado and AZ. All those have both strong liberal and conservative philosophies going on in large numbers in their states, have a wide variety of folks from the USA and foreign countries. All have large metro cities and a lot of rural land and small towns.

Thousands of Iowans migrate to Phoenix and Tucson each winter. It is much less expensive than a lot of the areas mentioned above.
I would go to a small town in New Hampshire, because the Yankee mentality trumps the cold winters or to Northern Jutland in Denmark where people are very much the same, self-reliant and accepting of everything except for encroachments on their personal freedom. My roots are there, anyway. I miss the woods, the general stores, the maple sugar candy and most of all, the "tonic".
