I can barely deal with Ohio humidity, much less Florida's. If I packed up and moved I'd probably prefer Washington or Oregon, but my wife hates rain. New Mexico would be a great option - the forecast this week for Santa Fe has every day in the 80's and every night in the 50's. Plus all the chiles you can handle.
My MIL lives in Santa Fe, in a gated community at 7700 feet, up Hyde Park Road on the way to the ski slopes. I've been there more times than I care to count.
From what I've seen, in Santa Fe, you're either retired from a prosperous career elsewhere and living in a gated community up above the peons or you are one of the peons living in a faux-dobe hovel. There are some nice middle-class neighborhoods down adjacent to the Plaza, but not many.
Great museums, great art galleries, great restaurants. For those who can afford those things.
We've gotten tired of the color of brown. Faux-dobe everywhere. Bad streets. Bad public services. Bad medical care (odd, considering all the wealthy retirees). Bad public schools. Even the most mundane things, like a car wash, are expensive, like what you'd expect to see in San Francisco.
Great weather, though. And great views of the mountains.
