I've been through every state in this country several times and MA is fantastic for me - not perfect but the best mix I know of and (prices aside) heading in the right direction.

Good to know! The COL is making my palms sweat but gotta remind myself that living in a low COL area now has gotten us a great house, disposable income, less financial stress BUT ALSO…regressive policies, few environmental regulations, surrounded by trumpers and bible thumpers (if you’re religious, fine, but it’s very evangelical and hardcore here) prayer in public schools, so much open bigotry, lots of open animal abuse, surrounded by “if you don’t like it, leave!” Attitude, no social safety nets at all. That stuff really wears me out.
