    Good luck friend! I’ll give you a fair warning rent is insane here and unless you bring a remote wage you’ll likely be traveling an hour or more for work. The best jobs are in southern maine but within 30 miles of where I live you’re looking at paying at least 1800 a month for a one bedroom. If you can afford to live in the city you probably won’t have to deal with all of the snow removal.

    And I’ve worked in sweltering heat with high humidity and it’s a lot easier for a layman to survive the heat than the cold. You need gear and burning resouces to survive the cold. All you need with the heat is some shade and maybe a dip in the river/lake/pool. Like I said in my other comment, there’s a reason homeless flock to warm climates. It’s easier to survive.

    I live in Maine, the state with the most power outages in the US. 6 months out of the year I have to pay for heat to live and whenever we get a winter storm it’s likely to knock out power for a week for anyone in the boonies. I know how fucking quick cold turns deadly without gear and resources. A lot of people take heat and power for granted.

    Something tells me you’ve never experienced negative degree weather. You can dress warm, but that only goes so far until you freeze to death. Yes I get it it’s uncomfortable to be warm, but if you go inside, go for a swim, or find some shade, you will survive. You cannot survive extreme cold without specialized gear plus shelter and that’s barely surviving without burning resources for heat.

    There are extremes at both ends. I live in a place where you have to pay for heat 6 months out of the year to survive. Most of the warm climates I’ve lived in have 1-2 unbearable months max. Why do you think you see so many homeless in warm climates?
