Absolutely!
I'd have a swanky apartment in a cool city and a beachside open concept home to flee to when I felt even the slightest bit chilly.
All my friends would live within 15 min walking distance and I'd have a rooftop garden where I grow some of the nicest tomatoes and peppers you've ever had.
I've been trying to convince my wife that we should move out of the USA for 4 years.
Yes. Emphatically.
I dont know where I'd move to, cause I'm a broke poor and find it depressing to focus on unachievable details, but if my bank account had 9 zeros added to the end of it tomorrow? I'd find some place, spend a year or two hiring tutors for language and manners, then move the fuck there.
I'd love to get out of this city. It's a car addicted hellscape with a lot of personal baggage in it. A fresh start would do me so much good. I dream of living somewhere not so fucking car brained.
But if it's just enough money to move, then no. I moved states when I was younger and I can't live again knowing if anything goes wrong I might be homeless with no local support network. At least here I have some family. If I was rich, sure, but not if I have to work to keep a roof over my head.
Canada maybe
Canada and Russia likely see expansion of land suitable for agriculture in a warmer world.

Canada could be a huge climate change winner when it comes to farmland
The study, published today in the journal PLOS ONE, predicts about 4.2 million square kilometres of Canada that are currently too cold for farming crops like wheat will be warm enough by 2080 if greenhouse gas emissions continue to climb.
Currently, only a million square kilometres in Canada are warm enough for growing crops like wheat, corn and potatoes, he said.
Would probably stay in the same state, maybe in the same city, but not in the same apartment.
PNW, forests are pretty. I've long fantasized about dropping my life in Kansas and just moving to Tacoma like I'm a 19th century con artist trying to escape my past
I feel like being closer to my aging parents is going to start being more important, and we’re starting to get together a good medical team for my stepdaughter who has some challenging medical issues. Rebuilding that team in another state could be challenging and would take time, to say nothing of other countries that have nationalized health care that don’t even believe the disease exists.
This is definitely going to be more important for me too in the next 10 years or so. My parents are divorced and live in entirely different states, so I'm not sure at this point what will happen, who will move to be closer to whom, etc.
Absolutely. I’d probably go to Ireland or Scotland.
If I had unlimited F You money, I would either leave Nebraska or sponsor some carpetbaggers from New York or California, preferably enough of them to sway the elections here.
I've travelled, not EXTENSIVELY, but I've been to other places. Honolulu, Seattle, San Francisco, San Mateo, Cupertino, Los Angeles, San Diego, Las Vegas, Chicago, Memphis. I got as far as the airports in Salt Lake City, Denver, and Atlanta.
I keep coming home to Portland because no matter where I've been... nothing compares to Powell's.
I was recently on a group hike with a university club, and an Austrian exchange student kept talking about how good life in Austria is. He attends university for free, lives in a vibrant city with great public transit, and with affordable housing.
My city has unaffordable housing, shit transit, and an inept local government. We are staking our future on oil prices constantly going up. The last time oil prices dipped was catastrophic, with mass layoffs and unemployment in nearly every sector.
On top of this we are being hit extra hard by climate change. Last summer I couldn't go outside because of wildfire smoke, and this year is going to be even worse. Every year there's less and less water, to the point where year round drought seems like an inevitability. Our politicians are climate change deniers. The people who elect them couldn't care less, and cry about any measures taken to mitigate it's effects.
I don't want to be stuck paying $2000 a month for a studio apartment as the climate around me slowly degrades, and my politicians try their best to turn us into America.
A sizeable fraction of the students I've talked to about this has or is playing around with the idea of leaving. Austria is just the first country that came to mind, but I would take almost any EU country if the opportunity was offered.
Maybe. I have been to a few countries outside of my own and wouldn't want to live in any of them more than where I already do. I've also been to almost all 50 states (haven't been to Alaska, Hawaii or Maine) and I havent wanted to live in any other than the one I already do.
I wanna check out Japan and the whole Scandinavian region. All those countries sound cool as fuck, but I've never been to 'em to know how they really are.
Norway. 2000 percent. That's where I'm from and want to visit. They also are satisfied citizens.
No. I don't like where I live (because it's a big city) but I'm living near my family.
If not for that, I would probably be back in New Hampshire. I used to live there alone with a 100% work-from-home job and I would go weeks without speaking to another human being face-to-face. I left because it wasn't great for my mental health but for some reason I still really want to go back.
If I could afford it (and to come back and visit family or to bring them to visit me) I'd move to New Zealand in a heartbeat.
Australia, new zealand or the parts of canada near a large body of water to moderate temperatures
I think if money were not an issue, probably I would either move to some sort of unpopulated island in the pacific, a space station, the moon, really anywhere I could sufficiently threaten geopolitical interests while being kind of isolated. Maybe even just the top of a new york high rise, lex luthor style.
More realistically, everyone's saying scandinavian countries, nordic countries, and these are popular for a reason. I could probably acquiesce, because I'm white and can speak english, but I also would pretty much be fine with any EU citizenship. I feel like there's a lot of different strengths and weaknesses that would be interesting to learn about from each and see which one I like the best, because I don't think it'd be a high level idea to judge any of them from the outside looking in. Likewise, I've also seen some taiwan suggestions, and that's kind of an interesting proposal as well.
I dunno. If money wasn't an issue, I think I might as well just stay where I am, and use it to do some cool stuff where I currently live. It's not really in the spirit of the question, but I think the main object, main limiter, in my life, probably in most people's lives, is gonna be money. I don't know if the context matters much, but then maybe thinking along those lines, I'd rather be homeless in a nordic country, so I might as well just kind of default to one of them because the consequences of financial failure there seem maybe less dire than in lots of other places. So maybe my answer is still the same as everyone else's, nordic countries.
