I don’t want to leave a home and an Island that I have spent my life on and like because of a manhattan maniac and a sick, malicious governor.
My job commands quite a bit less $$ in many others states so THAT part kind of evens out.
The south shore of Staten Island is very safe.
But it may not be that way in 10 years.
I will head to PA when the time is right
You may make more money in NY, however the cost of living and taxes cost a hell of a lot more also!!
South Carolina is your more liking.
