I moved to Houston from Milwaukee last year. Primary reason was economic (more robust job market and the nearly 6% savings on state income taxes). Secondarily, I was tired of shoveling my weather. Never underestimate the hidden costs of snow...from the countless hours lost removing snow, wear & tear on your vehicles, and random catastrophic "drive times". Don't get me wrong...for 3 months a year it's "jungle hot". But in trade, I have 9 months of awesome weather. That ratio was basically reversed "up north".
