i recently moved from california to north carolina. it was ok while my friend who drove me across the country was here. but after he left i realized i knew absolutely nobody. it was not a good feeling.
the two things i found that were really bad were rents and gas. everything else was pretty much the same as other places i have lived. so sad where i lived was lovely.
that is really common actually. there s a big exodus from there. they voted for high taxes and now people are abandoning the state beacuse the cost of living is too high.
