I'm planning to move somewhere permanently, and am leaning towards Alaska or Nevada, specifically within about 30 miles of either Anchorage or Reno. I don't like cold weather (hah), so Alaska is an odd option, but there is a lot of space and freedom there, and houses are cheap. I like Nevada, and Reno seems like the biggest city that does not get insanely hot. I would be doing remote self-employment work, so I mostly need good internet and realistic healthcare options. Alaska and Nevada seem to be business-friendly (fewer laws and taxes), and have legal marijuana. Any major disadvantages to either of those places related to being self-employed?
