Ask HN: I'm in a position to move to anywhere in the USA, where should I go?

I'm facing a sort of analysis paralysis and would greatly appreciate some assistance and input to help me at least narrow down my options. I'm single with a remote job. No pets, no one I need to consider but myself. Here is what's important to me in order of importance: 1. Affordability. -> So no SF or NYC. Ideally a place where housing falls at or under the nations average COL index of 100. 2. Opportunity -> I don't want to be too far from at least one major population center in case I happen to lose my remote job and need to get reemployed ASAP. Ideally within a 90 minute drive of a city with a pop of at least 500k, these numbers are just estimates so a little longer of a drive or lower pop would be alright if it's otherwise worth the tradeoff. 3. Weather -> I don't deal well with heat and would prefer somewhere that doesn't have blistering summers. High levels of rainfall is also a big plus. 4. Distance -> I currently live in Washington DC. If I could find a place that met these requirements near by rather than across the country that'd be preferable, but this isn't nearly as important as the other considerations. Again, any input is welcome and appreciated, thank you.
