I've lived her now for over 16 yrs. We moved here because the schools were 2nd best in the nation. The cost of living was low, and it was a good place to raise a family. That has changed. Schools are now among the worst. Crime has risen. Jobs are sparse. Cost of living is much higher. Due mainly because of all the screwy laws and bonds that have been passed by the liberals. if you want to start a small bus., keep in mind we have the second highest minimum wage, at $8.95/hr
ON a positive note: it has fresh air all the time, and fresh water. Plenty of outdoor things to do if you don't mind getting wet. It rains here about 8 months out of the year, and gray much of that. Summers are great. Now that our kids are out of the house, we are planning on moving to some place nice and dry and lower cost of living!
