I’m considering moving from Ohio but mainly because we get taxed to shit here (12th highest overall in the nation) and yet don’t seem to have anything to show for it. From my perspective the only benefit I would theoretically get from being in a red state would be saving $ on taxes, and I don’t even get that here. All that being said I apologize but I don’t see much appeal to Michigan lol

Michigan has nice lakes and forests, but the economic opportunities in the most beautiful parts of the state (the northern lower peninsula and the upper peninsula) seem very limited. For the kind of work I do living there wouldn't work. If I were willing to move to a "remote work"-only lifestyle it might be possible, but that's what I want. My family visits Michigan almost every summer, gets wistful thinking about how wonderful it would be to live in some of these beautiful and wild places, then runs the numbers and discovers it wouldn't be economically feasible.
