Besides not as many high paying white collar jobs as the coasts? Housing costs seem reasonable. Population not out of control like every coastal state. What sucks about it? Winter doesn't seem as bad as it used to be.

I get that, but schools in low tax areas seem like shit in comparison.

im not saying its worse than shelling out 50% more for a comparable house somewhere else but its still a huge downside paying 2.x% in property taxes and having no idea where theyll go going forward.

The downside is it’s cold as fuck in the winter, which lasts from December until April, and doesn't get warm until June. Otherwise it’s very cr imho but that is a huge downside for me. I’m gonna start going to chile or Argentina during Jan Feb because it’s too depressing with the cold and sun setting at 4:15pm.
