re: BEAUTIFUL BUT EXPENSIVE - 6/6/2015 -
11/25/2015A bit late, but for what it is worth...
I grew up in RI - 43 years there. Moved to South Carolina 18 years ago and never looked back. I still keep in touch with many of my friends there, and some have visited on their vacations.
We don't miss the high taxes or the politics in RI. If you are looking for a good place to work or retire, check out the Greenville/Spartanburg, SC area. Business is booming and the taxes are low. Got kids? Clemson U is one of the best colleges, known throughout the US. USC Upstate (Spartanburg) is good also.
There are too many good things to put in this reply. Quick example of the lower cost of living - compare your gas prices today (11/26/2015) to ours. 2.09 (yours) vs. 1.81 (ours) per gallon. The difference? Tax.
The people here accept northerners as long as you don't tell them "That's not how we did it up north.". We don't care. I count myself among the southerners now. It is a better way of life.
We all make decisions on where we live. SC has better weather, great beaches and skiing in the mountains. Check it out!

Great place to live on the East Coast. -
11/25/2015Excellent place to live. A lot of culture; something to do all of the time. Good restaurants and the climate is excellent. I can't think of a better place to be!
