what would be the most economical state to move to considering cost of living and housing and good school dist

Question

i would like to move to another state but just not sure which would be the best kinda wanted to get different opinions..i would like to be somewhere where the housing is fairly priced. i am a family of 5 and looking for a good school district. in south florida the housing here is outrageously priced you dont get alot of house for the money.i prefer not to be out in the country. i do like the change of seasons weather is not to big of an issue. and somewhere where the homeowners insurance is normally priced not 4,000 a year and taxes are not 5,000 a year. i can laterally move with the work position i am but jobs are good to know about...i think i may have covered it all..thanks for all your opinions thanks..

I would have to say that Iowa might be a good place to go if you can stand the cold winters. The schools are better than average for the nation according to the web site I listed. The cost of housing is low in Keokuk Iowa, which is in the SE corner on the Mississippi but some jobs are scarce. They have many elementary schools; it seems like one for each neighborhood and one middle and high school. The tap water produced for the city at the Keokuk Waterworks Plant has been awarded the "Best Tasting Water In Iowa" by the Iowa Water Council. I lived there for awhile as a child and loved it. My sister loved it so much that she went back after she graduated from school and still lives there 36 years later.

I believe in most of what you say regarding the cost of keeping someone incarcerated for mere posession of a natural product that grows wild and does not have to be manipulated into a drug like most of our prescribef medications do, and God only knows what they put in the pills to make the medicine all hold together, and the "what" is something your body has to rid itself of, hence side effects. This problem is not just in America but in Canada as well, time and money, huge amounts are spent on these investigations that we find out took 6 months sometimes a year to find out who is the one on top...I have nothing against society trying to get rid of the hard drugs, but marijuanna is less harmful than alcohol or tobacco, and the governmets time and money could be better spent by going after and investigating harden criminals, that reoffend, child molestors, reevaluate the Youth Justice system to bring back shame to them, because in Canada a youth is protected when he does a crime how awful, what kind of society are we bringing up when no one knows who did or is capable of murder even though they are youths they are old enough to do the crime therefore they should suffer the consequence of shame that comes with everyone in town knowing that you stole a car, stabbed a woman, raped and so on, a slap on the wrist is ok if the crime is minimal but many are literally getting away with murder, and not even a criminal record to show for because their criminal record begins once they turyn 18. This is just sad and we will pay the price for leniancy here. I feel like you that more and more we are told where to stand and pee. I can't stand to see people hooked on crack and cocaine and now the big H and they put everyone in the same kettle, when it isn't the same thing at all. And I agree America has not learned their lesson of prohibition, those were the days of Capone, and it was the same story as today only today we call them gangs, street turf, well Capone had a turf too, and prostitutes and drug dealers and bootleggers and booze runners, sound familiar, the attention shifted from booze to drugs once booze was leagalized. I can't even start about tobacco. but we need to try and come together and make the self righteous people who are drunk every day of the week understand that what they are doing to their body, just because it is legal, is much much worst than smoking a joint, your liver will never be affected by it but it will be dying if you continue to drink.. Peace

Drive down to Georgia, houses are much more moderately priced there.
