South Carolina

[SubVet]

We moved here after 15 years of San Diego and another 15 or 16 a Las Vegas. I've traveled to many states lived in a few. Born and raised in New Jersey the toxic state. Left as soon as I could never to return. San Diego was nice until it went all blue so I left there and went to Las Vegas and it too is turning blue. South Carolina will never be blue government will never be in our everyday lives. I absolutely love it here. Mild weather the beach super low taxes what's not to like

North Carolina is beautiful but I'm afraid it's going too Blue politically. Lots of Northerners moving down and bringing their politics with them instead of realizing that their politics is why they're leaving to begin with.

Many look at South Carolina as a "Hillbilly" state which is fine with me. My brother lives an Indian Land a suburb of Charlotte. It's nice there as well. When I retired I looked at two different states to retire. Both considered welfare states. Arkansas in South Carolina.

Las Vegas is getting way too big. I lived there for 18 years and San Diego before that. I just wanted to live in a state where the government doesn't have its hand in your pocket for everything you do. I'm hearing my birth state NJ collects $10 to go on the beach!!!!! Like I said you can't do much without paying those huge property taxes and every other thing. Can you imagine paying over $1,000 a month for taxes on a 2000 square foot home in Clifton.?

Actually $1085 tax a month and rising for 2300 sq ft home. SC is much cheaper in a lot of things. Along with no winter weather. We love it here.
The only issue I have is I can't get good Italian food and no real Italian deli's and bakeries or Diners like up north.
So I stock up on my visits back to NJ.

Yeah man,good Italian food,pizza and hoagies in Jersey. Very high wages there too but the property taxes eat it up. Nice beaches but too many people and traffic there. Bret

It's everything. Dem Governor is giving everything away with entitlements and the people of the state will pay dearly.
It's going to get worse as NJ is one state of about 4 or 5 where many people and some businesses are moving out which is crippling the state budgets even more.
I wish I could have moved years earlier.

Lots of Ohio peeps moved here with all the Timken Bearing Plants in NC and SC. Most even after retirement stayed...

I was born in NC but lived here in SC since 1961.

Top states folks are fleeing

1. New Jersey
2. Illinois
3. New York
4. Connecticut
5. Kansas
6. Ohio
7. California
8. Michigan
9. North Dakota
10. Iowa

The states people are moving to
Idaho topped the list of states seeing the most inbound moves. After all, the state has a thriving economy, with a burgeoning tech industry gaining ground in its capital of Boise. That's attracting younger workers and those with families to support.

Plus, it's become a more affordable, slower-paced alternative to California—which is particularly appealing to retirees from Western states who don't want to move too far from their family and friends.

The median home list price in Idaho is $359,950—more than a third less than California's median price of $575,050. So retirees can sell their Golden State homes for a bundle, buy an Idaho home for a fraction of that price, and use the leftover money to beef up their nest eggs. The moving company also saw a lot of folks from Colorado, where the median home price was $475,000, head to Idaho.

"We’re seeing baby boomers moving south, and millennials are moving to the south and the Mountain West, specifically Washington and Oregon," says Cummings. “People are moving to states with a lower cost of living, a temperate climate, and jobs.”

I'm plenty good in great states of Michigan or Ohio thankyou very much! They building like crazy up here in both states (commercial & residential) & population in each state stands around 12mil. Big states! I lived in SE Virginia 15yrs & got out. That state is going to the dogs. High cost of living/ low pay scales in few industry they have. South Carolina made the list cause its CHEAP TO LIVE THERE ONLY basically! Not to offend anyone here. There arent many good payin jobs at all & the crime & poverty Is VERY bad. Every state has its issues folks. I can live in NW Ohio ..have great paying job (tons big companies along w/ auto industry manufacturers like Ford , GM , Honda here in a big way) & enjoy great cost of living/quality of life . Nice midwest values & conservative ways proliferate. Michigan has probably more large companies to work for! All paying very well & plenty nice places to live country/vast suburbs/big city ..ur choice!! Downside w/ MI is cost of living Vs Ohio. Much higher in Michigan overall. MI has best recreation tho anywhere I've lived in my life. Thousands of lakes/ tons state parks/ Camping/ ORV parks /natural sand dunes/car clubs & collectors! Rich history as well. Cant live or die by these internet surveys ..they are basic recommendations at beat if that. God bless!

Welcome to “MY” great Palmetto State! I was born 20 minutes from Caesar’s Head, live 15 minutes away and am a fun loving, gun loving, Native, Red Voting Carolinian! We have 52 in our family of four siblings., and love one another, thank God!
So, welcome to our world. Just don’t vote to make it another place like where you came from. ?
If you ever come through Cleveland, SC, on Hwy 11, look at the Sunoco Station rocking chairs. I might be there, if my black XLT Super Cab is there!
Used to be some good bootleg stories of those mountains nearby.
Take care, “Yankee”! ?

How do you like these crystal water mountain lakes?
