re: How many of you are planning to live in Louisiana your entire lives? Why?

I moved out of Louisiana for the first time in 2015 to go to Houston/Katy, and it sucked balls. Houston is hot, ugly, characterless, and the people have no ties to it. I moved a year later to Western North Carolina. The weather is incredible, I have a 5 minute drive to work, the surroundings are beautiful, there are no roaches, and there is a lot to do being near all of the National forests. What I miss is proximity to water, good food, and I mostly miss the people. Appalachians are different from the gulf south. My wife and I continue to say though, if money were no object, we would want to live in Louisiana. Alas, taxes and insurance in LA are ridiculous.
