Moved out of Louisiana this week

…to the Shenandoah valley in VA.

Insurance going down 70%. Sales tax cut in half. Violent crime almost non existent. Smooth roads. Lots of things to do. Mountains, beaches, four seasons where we are at. No hurricanes or ball melting humidity 60% or the year (it’s 70 degrees right now and I feel like I’m in Southern California). Can actually send our kids to Public school. Income tax is up very slightly. Property tax rate up slightly but our home value is lower than in Orleans parish so the actual is lower.

For now as well the politicians in this neck of the woods are all god fearing and American loving as well. I feel like a new man.

ETA: should add I am originally from where we moved to. The SO is from LA. I spent about 10 years in the state and really enjoyed so much of it but it became too much with all the reasons listed above being major factors and easy to improve with a simple move.
