36. Moved out of L.A., Ca., now retired in Albuquerque for summer and Naples Fl for winter…

Jul 2014

What is great about Alb is moderate weather, nice local folks and beautiful wide-open space. What is bad is the ongoing iffy water issues. We might get through the draught-ful future but just barely.
Naples in winter is terrific and surprisingly inexpensive (compared to So. Cal beach communities).
HOWEVER, we are now looking at Denver Co for the summer months in case water battles are lost.
Any advise on where to move to in Denver?
