Move to Wisconsin from up State New York in the early 90s, parents and sister are still there, for a job here, turned down offers in larger cities, best move ever made. Taxes could be lower, regulations could be less but it is not bad, we have no building inspector in the town i live in. I know where you are coming from, i have friends in Connecticut and spent a bunch of time there for work. We have looked at other states but we have a good school system and excellent heath care. My mom and i have the same condition and i can get the same thing in days and she waits weeks. I have doctor friends that have moved here for the health care and standard of living.
Taught my boys that nothing worth while comes easy and refused to pay for there college education, even though we could afford too. They are both hard working and mechanically inclined, there high school had an excellent tech ed program, both are in technical college, each one has a GOOD part time job in there field making a good hourly wage. They have a year of college to go and both there employers are giving them benefits I had to work twenty years for. Both have students in the class that have 4 year business degrees that took them no where, so i think times are a changing. My point jobs are here as long as you are skilled and willing to work. And when it is all said and done my kids will be able to afford to live here! That is the American Dream.
