I'm not looking for what st. has the best amusement park or sports. My family will be in a position in the next two years to choose to plant long term roots or relocate. One of us will be a cert. elem. school teacher, the other a nationally registered paramedic / firefighter. We have two young children.
Currently, we live in N.Ga. The positive aspects of staying are:
low cost of housing,
free college tuition, freedom to own firearms and a
teacher and paramedic shortage - job security.
The negative aspects of living in Ga.:
high rate of urban sprawl and the traffic that goes with it,
reverse discrimination and racial tension,
high immigrant population, schools ranked low nationally and it's generally flat, boring and disinteresting (no mountains, 4 hours to an ocean, can't see the stars .... suburban hell).
We've considered the Pacific Northwest and Utah. What places can you recommend for reasonable housing, gov't job opportunity and quality of living? East or West ... where and why?
