Not sure how long, but my wife I and know once we leave LA we aren't coming back. Weird to say when we have lived here our whole lives. And we would leave our family behind.
You may be surprised by this. I too am from CenLa and thought the same thing. It was not until I left Louisiana that I realized how much I like it. Oddly enough, In addition to family, I missed the lush vegetation that is prevalent in the south.
One other word of advice, if you have a lucrative job offer, there is undoubtedly a reason they want to pay you that much to live there…figure out why they want to pay you so much. Some here have said the cost of living is decent in west Texas. With all of the activity in the Permian basin, I’ll bet the cost of living is going to knock your socks off compared to what you spend in Jena.

There are many things about Louisiana and the Deep South in general that people take for granted. One is simply the lush vegetation. Another big one is the people. There’s something warm about them. You don’t seem to get that else where.
It depends how tight knit you and your family are. If yall spend multiple weekends a month together doing various things and have family help out with the kids, there isn’t a dollar figure you can give me that makes moving to midland worth it.
As another poster mentioned, daycare and schools there can be hard. I’ve heard stories of daycares over there being a bitch to work with.
