re: Louisiana peeps - if you could transplant your life elsewhere, would you (and where)?

The irony is this board loves to complain about LA but statistically people are less likely to move away from LA than most other states. We always talk about our best and brightest leaving but never talk about how many end up coming back
Well, that begs the question: What keeps you in Louisiana?
For me, it's my spouse. She is why we moved back here and why we have stayed (wants to be close to her family). Without that, I would be gonzo.
I suspect that is why many remain (and why many of those that have left end up back here).
Southern girls (especially Louisiana girls) want to be close to mommy and daddy.

Friends, family, culture, LSU sports, etc. After four years of school in NY, I chose Ft Polk as my first assignment in order to get back home. After my five years of service was up, I found my house in BR before finding a job.
A couple of years ago I was at a conference where a recruiter contacted me about an opportunity that would have significantly increased my pay/bonus but I would have to move to Dallas. When I returned home I mentioned it to my wife where she quickly responded I hope you told him no thanks.
To me raising my kids around family and friends is worth more than money and career opportunities elsewhere. To each their own!
