This is a very strange time to want to move from one of the most politically progressive to one of the most politically conservative states in the country. I’m assuming your husband is an American-born straight white cis man?
Regardless of politics, has he ever been to Wyoming? It’s a huge state, and much of it is a dry, barren wind tunnel. The NW corner is quite pretty, but also quite expensive. Depending on your budget, he may be surprised to realize the places within financial limits are not anywhere near as nice to live as the photographs indicate, and that’s completely ignoring the issues re: remoteness that others have already described. Seriously you could not pay me to move to most places in Wyoming due to the wind alone; I cannot emphasize enough how windy the I-80 corridor (near the “population centers” of Laramie and Cheyenne) can get.
Basically what I’m getting at is “why Wyoming” of all places?

This person is seriously underselling how expensive Teton county is. It’s literally millionaires and locals who are now millionaires, or locals who are so poor they only stick around to work in hospitality. Any given “pretty” image from Wyoming is most certainly taken in Teton county as they’ve said above.
