[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would look out west. Though places like Charlotte, Research Triangle and Charleston actually are pretty cool, I could never live in a Red State shithole with draconian laws and backasswards policies that would treat my wife, minority and gay friends like 2nd class citizens. No way I would raise my kids around such privilege.

Denver/Boulder would probably be my first choice, if wanting cheaper cost of living, good jobs, and laid back lifestyle. Philly would also be in consideration, though you'd need to go to the 'burbs to get good schools. I have good friends in Santa Fe and they absolutely love it and have small children. Not sure what the school situation is like out there.[/quote]

Yikes!  So angry![/quote]

I'm not angry; my eyes are just open to the truth of the place

Many more people would actually consider moving there if the Southern governments would stop actively discriminating against and demonizing anyone who isn't a straight white male or a submissive white Christian wife.

Until then, there's no way in hell I would expose my children to such a toxic environment. Those aren't the values I'm looking to pass along to my children. Furthermore, we have no family there and very few friends. There's no reason for us to make that move.

The South is also cheap and low COL for good reasons. Low wages, [b]low educational levels, lack of marketable skills, etc. It's the plantation economy in a modernized form,[/b] IMHO.[/quote]

This does not describe the RTP area.[/quote]
