or New York to New Hampshire. Surely they must love colder weather.
I do. I moved here from one of them pale-neutral states (Sleaziana) and it had absolutely zero to do with work, absolutely zero to do with gun laws, absolutely zero to do with military bases, absolutely zero to do with states whose third letter is a ******* consonant, or whatever other cockamamie theory you wanna come up with in an endless paralysis through analysis.
I moved to a better climate that was centrally located for what I needed and a more rural rustic setting than where I was. Because I could
afford to do that. Nothing more complex than that. I'd hazard a guess that there are a lot of people my age that can now afford to do that too, since we're retiring.
Matter of fact I wouldn't mind buying back by grandfather's old place and relocating to Maine. It's on the back burner but again, it would have nothing to do with military bases or work or gun laws or any of that irrelevant crap. Except it would involve work in the sense that work will be no longer necessary, which frees up where I locate.
