I agree with you. But cost of living is just one factor for us. We care about a peaceful environment, hopefully lower taxes (even if we make less ), decent infrastructure (in NJ, we have shitty roads with high cost).
- Someone1234 11y agoTo be honest I'd put Northern Utah on your list (Salt Lake area and north)). Low taxes, good infrastructure, low crime, nice people, growing startup culture, amazing for B2B startups, etc. Sure, there is a religious aspect which puts people off. But like it or not, that religious aspect makes everyone quite pleasant and makes the area a nice place to live (even for those who aren't of that specific denomination).
- bendmorris 11y agoExperiences vary. Mormons, like many other groups, can be tribal and this can be hard for kids who will have a harder time fitting in.
- AnimalMuppet 11y agoI grew up here. For a long time, I thought that the "not fitting in" that I experienced in junior high and high school was because I wasn't Mormon. Eventually, I figured out that a big part of it was just that I was a nerd...
- AnimalMuppet 11y agoThe startup scene is bigger one county south - in the Provo/American Fork area. But the Mormon culture is heavier down there. (Every place I've worked, there's been coffee in the lunch room. Everywhere else, it just was there. But down there, it felt like religious tolerance.)
