What is your Plan B if you moved away from the Boston area?

The weather in the Boston area right now is nothing to write home about despite spring marking its second full week soon.

And the congestion is getting worse. And the prices are still high. And the rents—they seem to never go down.

So our latest open thread asks the simple question: What’s your Plan B? Which city or region would you move to because of all-slash-some of the above or more?

These are not the dream destinations, but rather the actual places that you have reasonably considered as your next home address. Rather than San Lucia or Monte Carlo, in other words, what is your Portland, Maine?
