I've seen most of America, and areas I've visited and considered worth settling down in included:
Lakes Region
Boulder / Nederland Colorado
Taos, New Mexico
Portland / Eugene.
All offer a great Quality of Life, but how does one support himself / herself upon relocation? ...That's the question.

Well first off if you leave Oregon you'll save the 9% state income tax, NH has zero. When I work for the oscilloscope guys, they all drooled over that. As I remember property taxes in Portland are no picnic either. So if you're working you can take home the same money on less salary here. Of course if you're retired NH will no look so good.
