Have y’all looked into Charleston WV to relocate? (I know, quick change of subject; hang on to yer garters!)
I was just watching a video about ‘good’ places to live. The person making the video wasn’t looking for things like individual liberty, etc., but rather crime, cost of living, cost of housing....the usual stuff. Anyway, Charleston WV was high on their list. It’s still a small town but it’s the state capital. The city itself is more diverse than the rural ‘coal country’ areas. Lots of grocery stores in the area...they even have 3 Aldis for 50,000 people....my town has ONE for 150,000+!
Finding a flat piece of land in WV to raise a garden might be a challenge, however. But then, you like the mountains. LOL
I might re-think Wyoming...
I grew up near there.
It’s a great place.
I dropped hubby off at the Charleston West Virginia airport on one of our location trips. Looks like a pretty trashy City. But then again most of West Virginia is.
I thought this was the kind of environment I wanted. But after being in it, it’s too much like Deliverance. The people are not as much independent as I thought, but more like still suffering the effects of past inbreeding and are very clannish. Probably because they just don’t understand Outsiders, there’s a lot of things that are too confusing for them. We’re trying to buy a house from 1 so that’s why this is on my mind, he finds things like appraisals and house inspections confusing. I’m shaking my head right now, I’d like to live among those with an IQ > 90.
