#10: "There aren't many places to go that are both affordable and provide a positive environment. "

Actually there are plenty of affordable places with a good environment. Look at the electoral map of red counties. Most of these counties offer cheaper living and a better way of life than any county marked in blue.

This woman should use the Ford for what it was designed for: driving away from the blue cesspool.

Why don't people realize that there is opportunity everywhere in the USA!

ditto. Property taxes and state taxes have actually gone down where I live in the past few years. Cost of gas has gone down dramatically in recent years. Electricity is up a bit - but - I've made a few changes, had to replace the dishwasher and washer/dryer, so I used new, energy efficient ones, moved to LCDs over incandescents, and so on. So, my power bill has stayed about the same, or maybe is a little less.

Insurance is much, much lower as well.

That's in red state flyover. Having moved here from the big city, I can also attest that I'd see the opposite if I'd been foolish enough to stay in an urban area.
