great place for business conventions, a different place for businesses. part owner in a small business, investor in other business ventures but very difficult along with other facets of living - such as raising our young children and family. politics seems primary path to accumulating wealth(see Senate Bill 283 2009) of any significance here, though some businesses are trying to perservere as private concerns without significant government aid. extremely difficult to start, run a business and raise a family well here. children attend the best public(charter) schools and get an average education compared to best schools nationwide (good though,when compared to local education community). venture capital or similar startup funds are absent, though recent effort offers about $250k for business expecting to reach $25Million in 5 yrs. hopeful but constantly creating options for better environment
