when i moved here in 94 from the Northeast, the cost of living was at least 33% lower than the up north. Add the lack of state income tax, and it is "attractive". there has been tons of inflation but it still is cheaper than my old class mates pay in rent, insurance, food, etc.


Yeah...but I was looking in the Port St. Lucie area and equivalent housing value that I am enjoying upstate SC was cinder-block shackville. So I was either going to have to drive inland to live or find a way to get rich quick - which would have precluded my need for gainful employment.
