Pros: It's cheaper here..Everything close in proximity..Rarely ever sweating..0 bugs bites..Free fun everywhere..Beautiful peaceful mountain views..Actual fall and mild winter weather..Tons of different delicious food options even at a low price range..No natural disasters..Easy to get on freeways, and they're actually free instead of toll roads..Do not have to drive around the swamp land to get places..
Cons: Rarely clouds or rain..Meaningless cones always in the road..Too many wannabe cool people..Dog walkers do not pick up the poop..Who wants homeless druggies lurking?..Street lights are bad, not motion activated enough..Not enough shopping malls..Casinos allow cigarette smoke..
I can't say crime, because most of that happens near the tourist areas, like Central Valley, East and North. In Florida, they have the "Stand your ground" law, aka murder counted as manslaughter to make their stats appear better for retirees to continue moving in. I live in the SW Valley, and can walk after midnight and have never felt threatened. Everything is brand new as well, and not ran down looking.
For Example - I live in Las Vegas Nv and I can look at the historical gas prices and Change to US$ BUT
It shows the cost per LITER and we do not use LITERS at our gas pump, which requires you to manually convert
EVER year listed by hand to see the COST/GAL for that year... should be consistent unit of measure for location.
Thanks
