I think Reno is the one I would be most likely to move to. It’s fairly close to the SF Bay Area, which is where my family lives, and thus a major plus for me (and major minus for anywhere on the east coast). It’s also one of the sunniest places, which would significantly enhance my enjoyment of being outside (I know the luminators are pretty good for SAD indoors, but going outside still doesn’t give me the same boost/refreshment if it’s cloudy/dreary). I’d prefer it over Austin because I’m wary of living in a red state. Unfortunately, Reno has an ugly aesthetic IMO, but it also has a very nostalgic feeling for me since I grew up in Utah, which is similar minus the neon. Another nice thing is that it’s close to lake Tahoe.
