My wife and I moved to Tennessee 6 years ago. No state income tax. Temperate weather. Good job market in many areas, very poor in a few others. Cheap gas. The best motorcycle roads in the country! It does not get more conservative that this. Cost of living is very reasonable. Hiking and waterfalls are everywhere.
The down side is, if you don't like Tennessee football, you will spend some time being bothered by others who do. I've come to accept it.
+1 for Tennassee. My son purchased 4 acres of property and paid nearly $5000 in closing costs, fees, etc. here in Maryland. A buddy of mine from TN bought a large parcel of land and paid $300 in costs.. Crazy.
What is very interesting is except for two or three counties in Maryland (out of 23) they are liberal. The remainder are die hard conservatives. If you look at our state by counties, you see two small dots of blue and the rest is red.
I love everything about Maryland except the government. We have varying weather, small mountains, beaches and the Chesapeake bay. Our yearly property tax is roughly 1% of our homes value.
