Oregon has high income taxes and requires annual vehicle smog inspections. South Dakota has neither. South Dakota has very low vehicle and healthcare insurance rates. South Dakota welcomes traveling residents. For example, I had a theft with all my personal identification and credit cards stolen. The South Dakota DMV bent the rules to send me a replacement drivers license with minimal documentation. I even got a temporary license by email the same day. BTW, the theft occurred when I was traveling in Oregon. The Portland police had no interest. They even recovered most of the stolen items but never bothered to notify me. When I finally found out a month later I was hundreds of miles away.
Oregon prides itself on being weird and is known as the place where young people go to retire. I would rather deal with people in another State who are more functional and grounded in reality.
