I have always been know to say, "I don't understand why anyone would live in NYC, CT, MD or any state on the eastern sea board." I do know that the main reason is family or a job but, I just couldn't imagine myself staying there or taking a job there, just to pay all that money a month and a year, when I could live somewhere like TN and pay way less, for better living.. The better living part is obviously my opinion. I know some don't like the Country living, like some don't like the City life...
