Move to Houston
then you can visit Spiceware while you enjoy your preferred weather.

Problem
The only two places I would consider living in the US are Hawaii (though I haven't visited there yet to 100% confirm wanting to live there but I've heard good things) and NYC if I could somehow magically afford one of those nice homes bordering around the southern half of Central Park.
Any other place I'd have to clear out most of you American folks and bring the Canadian system down with me.
How moist does Houston get anyways? I definitely dislike a dry heat.

But who'd want to live in Flagstaff?
I did a multi-day job there once. Depressing place. A couple months later I did a similar job in Prescott. Now that was nice!

Agree.
Flagstaff I can take or leave. Prescott is dead center, God's country (for those who will forgive the christian intonation ;-)

Ummmmm . . . .
How does "God" imply Christian? Christians have a monopoly on God maybe? Other opinions may differ.

Hmmm - maybe so. Limited experience.
Friends there; general layout seemed tolerable, but I didn't meet enough locals to evaluate the atmosphere, nor had they been in town long enough to..
For their sake, hope there's another 'Flagstaff' than your sample (!) (Did note that there are few meeja outlets you'd want to attend, so cable / satellite would be not even optional, unless one is dropping out anyway.)
But hey: there's snow!

I'd take dry heat over humidity any day.

Move to the Stumps
Twentynine Palms, CA. It don't get too much drier ... at least nowhere that's inhabited year-round.

I remember a few blast furnace days...
at Edwards AFB, CA (on the edge of the Mohave Desert). I still prefer it to the cold up here in North Dakota, but I prefer a more humid environment.
