Those 3 are definitely answers, I wouldn't have expected to see in this thread. And at least for Winnemucca, I wish it wasn't as far away from Reno as it is. At least it has low crime(per its City Data stats page) and also does have Amtrak California Zephyr service, which is better than no train or airline service. And googling flightconnections.com, I don't think the Winnemucca airport has any passenger flights. Although Elko's airport to the east, interestingly has one scheduled flight (per flightconnections.com) to Salt Lake City and back.
For the states I can think of(skipped some states. the ones I skipped does NOT mean I dislike those states, but more hadn't yet researched these states further. and likely will do a later followup post, to menation those other states):
Alabama- a state that has a few areas, I'd consider. I.e. south Birmingham suburbs, Huntsville, and Florence. and if I ever looked at south Alabama, maybe near Mobile? I like what I've seen of the Mobile area, on street view.
Alaska- Anchorage area? this is a state, where I don't know if I'd ever want to live there. I do suspect it'd be better to vacation there, over living there.
Arkansas- Fayetteville, or somewhere else (Eureka Springs?) in northwest Arkansas. Maybe I'd look at the Little Rock area, too.
California- San Diego, or one of the small towns in central California between Sacramento and Reno would be really cool. Such as Nevada City, Jackson, or Sonora. If money was no object, I'd probably look at Avalon, or one of the towns north and west of LA.
Colorado- somewhere in the central or western part of the state? I did like Durango, Grand J&anywhere at least near I-25, or more likely west of there.....
Georgia- probably the Atlanta area, or Athens? to me, those 2 parts of GA are the parts of the state I like the most. maybe I'd also consider Milledgeville or Savannah or St. Simon's Island, as I liked my past trips to both places. Carrollton (know someone from there, myself) looked nice too, when I street viewed it.
Hawaii- one of the northeast or northwest shore towns of Oahu, might be nice. maybe I'd look at the 'Big Island' too, and if money and cost of livong was no object, also Maui.
Iowa- Ames, Iowa City, or Dubuque I guess? I had sometimes wondered if the Mason City-Clear Lake area, might be interesting?
Kansas- Lawrence, I guess? I'd also look at eastern KS places like Mission Hills (if I had to be near KC and Johnson County), Manhattan, Salina, or Wichita? And for western KS, I did like Hays when I street viewed it.
Kentucky- Louisville, Lexington, or Bardstown? I did like Elizabethtown when I street viewed it, and same with Bowling Green. Maybe also Paducah, and that's a place I eventually want to street view further.
Louisiana- either somewhere near New Orleans, or one of the 'North Shore' towns(i.e. Mandeville, Covington) north of Lake Pontchartrain? and from looking at it on street view in northern Louisiana, Natchitoches looked nice.
Maine- Portland, Boothbay Harbor, or Rockland seem nice when I street viewed them.
Maryland- Annapolis, or maybe near Frederick or Hagerstown? Havre de Grace also looked nice, when I street viewed it.
Massachusetts- if money was no object, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket are very nice. in the rest of the state, Northampton, Amherst, and Williamstown seemed nice on street view. For the Boston area, some of the places north and west of there are nice (
Minnesota- Rochester? Mankato also looks nice. Red Wing and Northfield seem like nice towns too, as is Stillwater. St. Paul and other parts of the Twin Cities, I'd also consider. If only my body could handle the very extreme cold(which I really struggle with), Duluth on street view seems nice.
Mississippi- Tupelo, or somewhere in DeSoto County? a few of the smaller towns look nice on street view, i.e. Holly Springs, Corinth, Oxford, and Pontotoc. Ocean Springs too, in south Mississippi.
Nebraska-Omaha or Lincoln? Scottsbluff(if I ever considered western NE) looked nicer than I thought when I street viewed it, I'll admit.
Nevada- somewhere near Carson City or Incline Village, I guess? Boulder City's downtown looked nicer than I thought when I passed through there on a Hoover Dam trip, and when I street viewed there.
New Hampshire- Portsmouth, or Nashua I guess? I always hear good things, about both of those places. NH is a state, I want to street view a lot more.
New Jersey- if I ever considered NJ, the only parts I'd consider would be either Hoboken or Jersey City? maybe I'd consider Asbury Park as well, on NJ's coast.
New Mexico- Las Vegas, or Santa Fe? Las Vegas I was surprised how nice its downtown looked like, on street view. Santa Fe would be nice, for having a commuter rail line (NM Rail Runner) stop there. in southern New Mexico per street view, Las Cruces and Silver City look nice.
North Dakota- Fargo, or at least from street viewing this city, Minot? the latter looks better than I imagined, too bad it's so far north where I don't know if I'd want to deal with its very extreme winters. And taking the Amtrak Empire Builder through here, Minot (from what I could see from the EB's track route through Minot) looked nicer than I thought. With its winters, not sure if I'd want to live in ND though.
Oregon- somewhere in the Portland area(perhaps McMinnville or Hillsboro?), or Eugene? I'd also consider Bend, Astoria, and the Medford-Ashland area. Maybe also Hood River, as it's across the Columbia River from the Bingen-White Salmon Amtrak Empire Builder station.
Rhode Island- if I had an unlimited budget for a house, Newport really looks nice. although I bet I'd be most happy overall in most of southeast or south RI, i.e. Bristol, Kingston, etc.
South Carolina- Charleston or Greenville? Columbia had a few neighborhoods that were nicer than I suspected, when I street viewed a few of them.
South Dakota- Sioux Falls or Rapid City? This is a state I hadn't researched enough, myself.
Tennessee- probably somewhere in the easy part of the state. although some places near Nashville seem nice, i.e. Franklin and Murfreesboro. Lebanon might be nice to investigate further, since it has Music City Star commuter train service.
Texas- I guess Fort Worth or Denton? The Austin area might be interesting, if I could adjust to how warm it is there. Maybe Bryan-College Station too, that area seemed fine when I street viewed it.
Utah- I guess the Salt Lake area? the area around Saint George seems nice, as is (if I could adjust to how small it is) Moab.
Vermont- Burlington area, or maybe somewhere else in northwest VT(i.e. Middlebury)?
Virginia- Culpeper or Charlottesville or Staunton? To me, those are my 3 favorite parts of VA.
Washington- Seattle area? besides there, maybe I'd look at the Spokane area, Leavenworth, and Bellingham. Also the islands and peninsulas in the west part of the state may be good too, i.e. Port Townsend, Anacortes, and Friday Harbor.
West Virginia- Morgantown is most likely what I'd consider, but I also liked Harpers Ferry. Hinton seemed nice when I street viewed it, plus having an Amtrak Cardinal station is a plus.
Wisconsin- La Crosse, Kenosha, or somewhere in the Milwaukee area? I also like Ashland and Eagle River, as well.
I'll research more states and also DC, later.

), I could be happy in Atlantic City, Jersey City, Edgewater, or really anywhere
