BadgerFilms,
Every time I start researching a city, I am always drawn back to the MSP suburbs. I have also considered Tx. They have nice neighborhoods with schools in the neighborhood, and super inexpensive housing. For 500k you can get the nicest house you could ever want. But, you have to live in Tx, which may be a tough place for a liberal Internal Medicine Physician to live.
I have lived in Florida my entire life, except for a few years I did some training in Georgia. For some reason I am drawn to the Midwest.
Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Washington, and Oregon are all very nice, but I get more of a family feel when I have been to Mn. Plus, Minneapolis is rated the #1 place for runners.
Politically I am very moderate. I have friends will all kinds of views. In many ways I am a bit liberal. But in others I am a little conservative. I am a gay man, but honestly I can't relate to younger LGBT people. It's become politicised far to the left in a way I don't even recognise the community.. too angry, jaded and obsessed with labels. With that being said, Texas is fine for liberal people and it's fine for conservative people. Most people in Texas don't shove their politics in people's faces.. I actually find liberals to be worse about that in my experience. Texas is great but you have to realise not everyone will have the same political opinions as you and that's a-okay.
