I’m not surprised

Wisconsin is #4 in the rankings - usually in the Top 10 of any polls I’ve seen.

That said, make sure you buy a home in the right COUNTY. Dane County (’The Berkley of the Midwest’) will run you $12K each year in property taxes alone! And that’s not even in a NICE neighborhood!

I lived in Dane County WAY too long, though I had a farm off the beaten path with few to no services (water, cops, fire, trash) and my taxes for 1.2 acres was still $3,000!

I moved ONE COUNTY OVER and our taxes on 160 acres are the same. Granted, STILL no services of note, but we’re fine.

So, Dave - you are MORE than welcome in Wisconsin - just land somewhere affordable. And bring your snowshoes and your parka, maybe some hand warmers, DEFINITELY a hat and mittens and winter boots. Also, you’ll need to learn to like to drink Brandy and/or a Bloody Mary with a Beer chaser, LOL! ;)

You like CHEESE, Right? And Da Packers? Ya Hey! :)

When you continuously vote for liberals hoping to get free crap, this is what happens.

Spent lots of time in Las Cruces and Farmington. Loved the food and the people.

Plenty of nearby attractions like White Sands, Aztec Ruins, Rock Collection areas, ...

Beautiful skies.
