SV and NY are not the best places to go once you consider quality of life. Better choices:

    San Antonio, TX
    Provo, UT
    Huntsville, AL
    Melbourne, FL
    Nashua, NH
    Salt Lake City, UT
    Charleston, SC
    Arlington, VA
    Alexandria, VA
    Wichita, KS

These are places with greater freedom. Most of them are less crowded and less expensive, usually by a huge amount.
