Opinion
Appleton (WI) has one of the highest gas taxes in the country. Currently, a gallon of regular unleaded is $2.64. The winters are long and cold-lots of gray days, but Appleton is generally a very safe place to live-very low violent crime rate. Afforadable housing, in my opinion. A new construction 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath home with 3 car garage starts in the low $200's. People are generally friendly and welcoming. Lots of factories (paper, cheese, farms, etc...) so there's quite a pollution issue (check Appleton's rating on scorecard.org-it's pretty bad). VERY high property taxes (we pay $5000/year)!
