Best places to live that fit the “AB life”

Hello!

I currently live in San Diego but am looking to move due to the HCOL

My main priorities are what we value so highly in this group: - having access to fresh produce/meat (and preferably raw milk!)

• nature

• active healthy lifestyle / social aspect / community

• near a body of water

I have been doing a bit of research but I’d love to know from you all personally, what areas you think are ideal/where you live

I’m looking for somewhere near an ocean as I feel most present & grounded, cheaper than sd of course (looking to pay ~1.3k for a 1bd), has plenty to do that’s not just restaurant / bars, and is sunny/warm most the time

Don’t care east or west coast (or even another country as I can work as a digital nomad)

Bonus if raw milk is available in retail stores or easily available

I know California unfortunately checks all these boxes 😭 But I need to look else where, or perhaps a more cost affordable part of CA?
