[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I dream about this too, but you can't find the jobs, schools, and doctors etc. you need for kids or when you are old in alot of those places.  My parents fled to a lower COL area about 15, 20 years ago with their younger kids.  They struggled to get good schooling, special services for a SN sibling, and now Dad has serious health problems and they have to commute several states to get good care.

Somewhere like Rochester has schools ranked among the top in the country, major colleges and universities, good hospital systems, and pretty good economy...but lower COL.

People who think your options are living in DC or living Hicksville are super strange. [/quote]

My spouse spent several years in Rochester for grad school.  Disliked the cold and heavy snow.  The climate here is a lot better for many who prefer milder winters.[/quote]
Well, ok, then don't move to Rochester. The point was that people who want to paint the rest of the country that isn't DC/Boston/SF/NY/etc as desolate places with universally crappy schools and no good healthcare are just flat out wrong[/quote]
