Western Iowa city on the Missouri River — sits at the tri-state corner (Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota). Downtown Sioux City and the Old Market are the small walkable cores. US has no DNV; ESTA 90 days. Iowa has state income tax (4.4-5.7%). The structural draws are tri-state regional access, meaningful cheap pricing, and agricultural-industry employment density. Brutal winter cold is the practical filter; nomad relevance is low.
