I've come to think that it might actually be best to avoid the places that will be 'nice', because those place will attract the hoards of people that will cause massive instability.
It might actually be better to find place that will have plenty of local resources, especially renewable electricity and water, but will be hard to live without supporting tech like AC, heat/insulation, air filtration, etc and even more exotic tech like indoor grown food and general purpose manufacturing like 3d printing.
Beyond the density problem of 'nice' places, the difficulty of living in 'hard' places will provide a forcing function to only allow a population of smart and industrious people to live there, while those who can't hack it flee to the 'nice' places that don't require as much expensive tech to survive in.
In a world ravaged by climate change, you really want to be in the group that is capable of keeping advanced tech running and improving if you want to leave a lasting legacy. Not only because it's going to get harder to live here on Earth, but because we don't have much of a collective future if we never manage to get off this rock.
