Anybody else seriously considered moving out of the BR area or Louisiana? I've lived in LA all my life. The north shore, NOLA and BR.

The little one about to start school in a couple years got me thinking. $5- $10K a year for a decent school!? And bad roads!?

Made me start to think about the big picture more than I ever have.

Texas is miles ahead of LA in almost every aspect with respect to standard of living for a family. If my in-laws weren't here now, I'd relocate my family as well.

Nashville is also an intriguing area. LA has nothing to offer outside of the excellent cuisine and outdoors as far as I'm concerned. I can find stuff to do outdoors almost anywhere though. LA is leaving a terrible taste in my mouth with the constant budget shortfalls, shitty infrastructure, and increasing crime rates.

Lived inTexas for about 5 years. Moved back two years ago for another opportunity.

It's nice being back. Although my kids aren't quite school aged yet so I can't relate yet to your dilemma.

surely you mean Northshore public schools.

The fact Louisiana's state public universities cost anything is abysmal considering their sub-mediocre education

I have no reason to believe the LA politicians will ever do anything to correct the past and present issues facing this state. I'm certainly not in favor of additional taxes on top of the highest taxes in the nation to mitigate budget shortfalls when 50% of the residents pay into the system.

Seriously considering it. Someone called me about a job the other week. Buddy of mine from BR works for the same company, lives in Franklin and he and his family love it.

You shouldn't have to pay for decent or even good schools if you live in a good area.

Do what is best for you and your family.


Moving to another state from your home state is nothing new. People from every state in the U.S. do it for a multitude of reasons.

I always recommend that people move outside their bubble, at least for a little while.

If you don't like where you moved or you miss home, you can always go back.
