I do remember your posting of moving to a US with better guncontrol. I consider that too but cant have it on top of my list. Your Canada is not to bad anyway, more like its here and nearer to CI and others. This is not entirely a private matter for me since it can benefit other Cryonicists when they can move, I have noticed some are very young. Americans are more used to it within US where its more easy than within EU, or going abroad as I have done several times. Most of us can sometimes move anywhere, some of us can do it now or soon. Being far from 90 but thinks the time run to fast, I have this as a priority for the moment, to settle down stay and form a family before its to late. And who isnt dreaming of paradize on earth sometimes? I just try to get close, nearly content now, felt it a little bit better lastly in Spain 5 months, as most Europeans and others do, Spain get a third of their money from. Do repeat myself a bit to avoid new questions. Also like to travel scouting around soon as we now again have -12C ice and snow. Last suggestions are Hawaii, Northern California and higher parts of the Phoenix-area. As in my life I'm a bit ahead, will doublecheck San Diego as I seem to remember can be shakey, but near several Cryo-.orgs. Hawaii seem to have the best climate, is a bit far from a C.-facility, also have warnings of earthquakes and hurricanes, but many low-crime-areas, termites but no lethal animals a Swede said today here. Honolulu has less good air and water. Higher housing and health costs, good climate must compensate a lot. They do have less crowded classrooms than southern US, so one thought accured to me; Is crowded classrooms, crime and guns linked? I guess so. Higher taxes can pay off. We have a bit of the same problem here, when we also must support many immigrants the state like to have here, and at the same time give away recordhigh amounts to other nations in aid as often get lost. I havent found any place in Northern California without shakerisks, ice or snow. Just got a mail today the air up on the heights around "the valley" (Phoenix/Scottsdale etc.) is better as I guessed, from a realestateagent so it has to be doublechecked. Where do the rich folks live when they can choose in US? Heard of it, dont remember right now. I can afford living among the richest here and in Spain, probably only in their outskirts in US. Over here they are rather nice to mingle with sometimes, at least the mediumrich, guess I'm upper middleclass.
