The taxes are far less here than they are out west or even the east coast.

True, but the biggest problem is federal taxes. The state income taxes are deductible, so their impact is a little blunted when all is said and done. Property and sales taxes are high everywhere.

Another important factor is the coast. You can't beat the seashore here out west.

Yes, we also have nice blue sky days in the summer, not that hazy stuff. No earthquakes, fires, floods, or mudslides. We have maple trees in the fall, and if we are lucky, a white Christmas! What I found interesting from the listing is Detroit’s weather rating is much better than Flint’s.???
