I'd move to Italy. Other than the language gap and job prospects, everything you seek will be better in semi-rural Euroland.
Otherwise, Squamish seems like the obvious choice if you don't want to live directly in Whistler.
But the OP still hasn't weighed in on his plans for getting a visa outside of the US.However many are in a shit ton.

What about somewhere like Glenwood Springs or Carbondale and you can line up some nice Cougar hookups?

Briancon?
Durango?
Innsbruck?
Santa Fe?
Bolzano?
Wenatchee?
Merano?
Olympia?
Annecy?
Yakima?
Chur?
Corvallis?
Zurich?
Pagosa Springs?
Geneve?
Off the cuff, one of the coolest places I've ever been is Briancon.
It's beautiful there.
The variety of skiing and mountain activities with 2 hours is pretty amazing.
I've never been to Merano or Bolzano or Innsbruck, but I'd guess they're in the same class, if larger in terms of population than Briancon.
With no real ties, I'd think a lot bigger than the PNW.
The PNW is a great place as a whole but I can disparagingly drone on about how crowded, expensive and set it is now.
I kind of think I'm over the urban experience, but I might miss being able to go out or see people. I have found smaller towns more friendly and welcoming than the PNW lately.
A lot of these decisions depend on how much risk you're willing to take on and how important the security of friends, infrastructure or 'community' is to you. I took a lot of risks in the past and it more or less worked out for things I like to do and even eventually having a family.
So I'd think that deciding on risk/safety versus the kinds of rewards I want is more important than where I end up.Merde De Glace On the Freak When Ski

As I near possible retirment with a little coin in the bank I had planned on somewhere between sacramento and lake tahoe "lesser expensive." Had planned a while back to rent somewhere for a winter one season, see how it goes. HOWEVER. As stupid and cliche as it sounds, watching big little lies on HBO is really selling me on somewhere more costal well south of the bay area. just stunning vistas. Maybe renting a place in both and shuttling back and forth. what say you all?

Norcal is the new socal. 20 yrs ago Norcal was the grungy and laid back half of the state and Socal was full of assholes.
Now it seems like every greedy and self centered bastard on earth has relocated to the Bay Area.

I grew up there. Just was back for a meeting and ate at Yusho, Matthias Merges new yakitori place. Small towns in North America tend to have shitty food.
Something to consider. When I lived in Winthrop: 4 almost decent places to eat, no food delivery, no movie theater, no taxi to take your drunk ass home, etc.Well maybe I'm the faggot America

Bay Area? No one goes there anymore, too crowded.

I'm in Bay Area and I like your thinking. I really like Monterey bay and would consider Folsom, EDH, Etc. No snow in EDH and 100 miles to South Shore.
$2500 a month and blocks to the beach at Spanish Bay.

If your going to rent. Just rent six months at each.
Keeping two domiciles and commuting back and forth will blow thru your coin, rather quickly.

I would fly to the PNW rent a van or truck for 3 weeks edit (or just drive up) and do a week at each place the spring when you can do all of the activities. You will know fairly quickly which one you like the best.
