Opportunity and cost-of-living are enticing for most folks but thankfully not everyone.

[SuperJon]

I'm good never living in Texas.

[Sly Fox]

Ignorance is bliss. I used to feel the same way at your age. I'm glad that feeling still exists or we woukd be overrun down here.

[JakeP50]

This is starting to sound like the ads Rick Perry was running a few years ago. "Hey Marylanders come to Texas because you're governor and state suck." I'm paraphrasing a little but that was the general content of his ads.

I applied for a transfer and got nixed. I should have dropped your name!
Now it may mean a stop in Jersey for a few years

I used to love hearing those spots when I was in DC. I'm not sure why some businesses in states like Maryland haven't moved to business-friendly states like Texas & Florida already. But that's just me.

Come on down, Haize. And your bride would have no trouble at all finding work down here. In fact, she might find herself in a bidding war.

[Yacht Rock]

Congrats UVA and yeah, Texas is overrated.

Florida has nicer beaches and the same appeal as no state income tax. The cost of living is slightly higher but I don't have to put up with Texas. That is where I want to be.

I wouldn't want to live by the capital of Cuba though........even LeBron left there to go to Cleveland of all places

[thepostman]

Well Miami is a whole other beast.

[ATrain]

Tampa would be nice. I wouldn't mind Nashville either (TN also has no state income tax).

[SuperJon]

(TN also has no state income tax).

And it's awesome.

[Purple Haize]

I could live in the Tri Cities but that's about it in TN

[SuperJon]

Chattanooga is pretty great. I like it better than Knoxville. That doesn't mean Knoxville is bad by any means, but my personality matches up with Chattanooga more than Knoxville. Then again, I've spent my entire time in West Knoxville. If I'd been in a different part of the city, I might like it more.

Tampa would be nice. I wouldn't mind Nashville either (TN also has no state income tax).

I prefer St. Pete over Tampa. If we were to move anywhere else in Florida, it would be the St. Pete area.

[Sly Fox]

You won't catch me hating on the Florida Gulf Coast. My only issue with Tampa/St. Pete is related to the higher cost of living.

CJ knows my Chatty connections. It is not a bad town and is a world better than the Rust Belt.

[SuperJon]

They've revived downtown Chatt completely. If you haven't been in the last five years or so, it's a different town.

Three words: Governor Larry Hogan. He ran on a campaign of making Maryland more business friendly and once he was elected several of the biggest companies that haven't left yet,McCormick and Under Armour,committed to staying.

[olldflame]

Would this in fact be the first national championship UVA has won in a ¨major¨team sport?

[ballcoach15]

Yes this is UVA's first NC in a major sport. Others were in tennis, scoccer, lacrosse and women's rowing.

Bradenton just south of St Pete and Tampa would be the better area in Tampa Bay

[thepostman]

I agree that would be ideal. Honestly I just want to get back to the Tampa Bay region. I loved my time there but I appreciate it even more now after nearly 2 years in DC.

I'm a big craft beer guy, so the St. Pete area is perfect for me (Clearwater/Largo/Gulfport/Dunedin/etc.). Bradenton does have Darwin which is up and coming.

[flameshaw]

Maybe we should move this over to the real estate/travel section.

[adam42381]

True. Sorry for my part in the hijacking.
