I was originally gonna live in a suburb in Indiana near Louisville, KY but after doing some researching it turns out Indiana gets about as hot as states down south while having worse winters so I've been looking at Birmingham, AL and Little Rock, AR instead. Which metro area would be better for me?
I will be living off-grid (mainly to avoid bills and getting tracked) in a camper and will need as little regulations as possible (camper rights, land rights, loose gun laws, etc.)
I must be near a big lake with great fishing
I often like to go into the city to do fun stuff such as watching sports, listening to live music, eating some good food, going to a big fair, and seeing a car show
I need to be somewhere where the winters feel like summers with extremely mild temperatures and the sun shines as much as possible (I'll most likely spend most of the summer inside the camper where it's nice and cool)
Low natural disaster risk preferred but not top priority
Neither one strikes me as off-grid type places. I've lived in Little Rock. It might sort of work. Don't know that I'd want to live in a camper there with the weather like it is.
What you want to do sounds more like an Arizona thing or some place similar.
I give a slight edge to Little Rock, just because I know of some great fishing in Arkansas. Both states are disaster prone when it comes to tornadoes, but it seems like Alabama is a bit worse on that end. Winters in both would be generally mild, but it wouldn't be uncommon to see freezing temperatures in either one, though you'll see much more rain.
Yeah I was thinking strong storms more than frozen precipitation.
Winters aren’t much to worry about in Little Rock. Ice, once every few years. Snow isn’t a concern typically.
To completely avoid that, you just about have to be on the Gulf Coast or someplace else way, way down south.
