Silicon Valley does have extraordinarily good weather for my tastes as well as access to great recreational activities etc. But I&#x27;m not going to pay to live there just for the weather. Whether or not one cares for Ohio, there are lots of areas in the US where acreage is relatively affordable. Personally, I like having some separation from neighbors.<p>(I live a little ways outside of Boston. The weather here is probably not better overall than Ohio--which I wouldn&#x27;t describe as cold and rainy for 7-8 months of the year.)
