For some reason Oaxaca State in Mexico keeps popping up into my thoughts. I think I could live in a place like that now.

Plenty of American retirees have settled in Mexico for at least most of the year.
The Best Expat Communities to Live in Mexico as a U.S. Citizen in 2024
With more than a million expats estimated to live there, Mexico is far and away the most popular destination for North Americans looking to move abroad...

A classmate of mine from North Country School is there. He's a Californian who lived in France for a few decades. Moved to Mexico during the pandemic when flying between countries became very complicated. He drove to SLC for the NCS annual get together at Alta Lodge in April. Then on to Montana where lives daughter lives with her family. Note that he doesn't use a cell phone except in emergencies, doesn't watch TV, and only grudgingly uses a computer for email.
He likes to ski groomers fast . . . very fast. No interest going off-piste at all.

I was listening to storm journal podcast about Banff. Banff seems to have dealt with the problem of rich people gobbling real estate that makes living unaffordable for the working class that make the town possible. It's called "the need to reside" clause.
In order to buy(lease) there you have to work in the park or a business in the National Park and whose presence at the place of business was necessary for the day-to-day operation of the business. So at least the people that hold the town together and work at mountains and local businesses aren't having to live 60 miles away. They can live right in town. I like it.
Obviously they can do this because Banff is a national park.

Telluride has similar deed restrictions on some houses. Doesn’t seem to have helped with affordability:

And in Canada.
Late to the thread if money is not an issue then I’d want ski in ski out and close enough to city/town with stuff to do other than skiing. But with two kids in NJ I’m not going anywhere unless I get divorced.
Interesting that no one mentioned taxes when choosing their preferred location. Of course if money in no problem then taxes aren’t either.
