United States · tropical

🌍

Savannah is a compact city of roughly 148,000 people right by the sea in United States. The climate is tropical. It has a lively, popular feel and is considered very safe. A typical month of living costs around $2,250. Healthcare is strong, and the internet is fast enough for full-time remote work. People come here for art and culture, food and eating out, live music.

Private healthcare (5/5) is clearly better than the public system (2/5): budget for insurance. This is one of the places where living off-grid genuinely works, in law and in space. Anyone born here is a citizen, whatever the nationality of the parents.
