I'm a freelance web developer from rural Indiana and want to move somewhere in the US I can at least possibly stay for a decade or more. Does anyone recommend a city/state that will survive the climate apocalypse, that is well managed, and/or that is doing everything the author of this article is saying California isn't doing?

I've had a hard time figuring out where to live since I don't have to be anywhere in particular for my job.

How about ... rural Indiana? Or any one of the local Midwest cities should be fine as long as you have a tornado cellar.

Sure, Detroit! Michigan is relatively insulated from climate change, is on the up economically speaking, reasonable property values, and a decent tech scene. Access to concerts and a thriving art scene. Plus you'd be close to home. The worst thing we have is the winters.

lmfao Michigan is pretty bottom of the list when it comes to the states of the USA.

Storrs, CT, according to Slate: https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2005/09/where-to-hide-fr...

Lol. Lived there during middle/high school when my dad worked at UCONN. A good place to grow up for sure. Winter was cold though!

Fun article, but I would be curious if that has changed after 15 years from the date of the article.

Are you just bored with rural Indiana? Can’t imagine the climate apocalypse will do as much damage to the midwest.

We may not end up underwater, but ecosystem collapse leading to famine, and increased pressure on all sorts of support systems due to the need to direct aid to people from coastal areas, are both going to affect people everywhere.

Californian originally from Lincoln, NE. Moving home is looking more and more enticing with each passing year...

Atlanta, rent for the first couple years until you are established, start working remote and then move to the country. Also Raleigh, NC. Both have excellent tech pay/cost of living ratios and robust contracting opportunities.

Western idaho is projected to become a perfect oceanic climate over the next 20 years. Its near large growing regions which will get longer seasons.

NC is affordable.

Seattle?

Slated to get a pretty major earth quake at some point.
