You really should stay in NY and work to fix your home state instead of fleeing like an afghan to a better place. If you are determined to live in the Ohio River Valley I suggest that you settle across the river in Ohio as nobody from WV wants a new Yorker to move in.
I grew up in the Ohio River Valley, I lived in point pleasant, parkersburg and later up in Weirton. So if you have any specific questions I might be able to answer them, I should also add that my wife is a new Yorker so I have experience with both WV and NY.

People leaving bad places to make a new start is how this country got started.
New York state is on a six decades long toilet flush...
nobody is gonna turn that around.
So, as an American citizen in good standing I reserve the right to live where I choose. As a conservative who has had my vote cancelled out a thousand times over by NYC, there is very little that I can do to turn that around.
As a person who values freedom above all, I want to live in a state where I do actually have freedoms that were guaranteed in our US Constitution.
I have zero resemblance to any afhgan, but you will have to take my word on that.
