Heard that Chicago is pretty affordable still, not sure how true or not that is, but the Great Lakes are cool
Detroit, maybe Pittsburgh
Worcester or Springfield MA are still pretty affordable I think, basically any second or third largest city in a small state
Kansas City is decent and affordable, minimal public transit though. The nature is near is all prairie, but it's there
Ditto Omaha and OKC, probably the case for most mid sized Midwestern cities
College towns are probably not a bad bet either (e.g. Ann Arbor, Rochester, not sure I'd recommend florida right now but Tallahassee is pretty great and close to the border if you need to flee the state). Lawrence KS is pretty hip and shockingly leftist (home of the John Brown Gun Club)
I would not consider OKC. It has very little going on culturally and the little nature that’s close to the city is pretty underwhelming. It’s also major chud territory. The entire region basically lives on the oil boom/bust cycles.
i have friends in omaha and nebraska’s about go full bible belt with their next governor and omaha is currently selling itself off to land developers. i would not recommend it.

I actually just left a comment about Chicago before reading this. If you can handle getting out of the city/burbs, then it can check all your boxes!
