Funny you should mention this. I was going to ask, too.
A friend of mine who owns property in Florida suggests
I try my prospects there?

Anyone here can give insights to living and working there?
And the cost of living?  Cost of purchase or space rental for
a workshop/loft?

Jeez, how can you afford to rent work space ( near or on the ocean )
in the Bay Area?  I had a small workshop in San Jose and one
shop in SF before the Silicon Valley boom. Both places got
bought out by developers and my rent shot up 1000 percent.
So much for progress......

Hmmm, I've been to India...I don't think you want to do this.
South America sounds like a possibility. Costa Rica always
sounded like a good place. Belize, too. No income tax in
Costa Rica or Belize...that's what I've been told.
