Moving-Help Me Decide!

I have never been there, but since from your other choices it seems you don't mind snow, I would recommend Massachusetts. Of your four choices, it is the only one where same-sex marriage is legal. Also they have universal health care. Their unemployment is down over 1% in the last 6 months. Real personal income is up a little from the low of 2009. Housing, on the other hand is super expensive.

Best wishes to you whatever you decide.
Smooches,
Keri

Portland or Austin would be my picks!

All of the places you are considering are college towns, I've always considered that a plus, in terms of diversity and culture. I am familiar with Fort Collins, and I wish I lived there, rather than 45 miles north. I've lived in Portland, and I think it is a wonderful city. I'm a gardener, and I like the longer growing season there, and rain has never bothered me, I grew up in the Pacific Northwest.

Best of luck in this new chapter of your life.
