If you HAD to move to one of these 5 states, which would you go and why?

Slow day on the OT. I have a little bit left of nursing school, when i'm done i'll more than likely move up to MA and do travel nursing for a year or two and stack some cash while my old lady gets to be closer to her family for a couple years. After that, i'm going somewhere not Louisiana and i'm buying land and building a house. Which of these sounds like the best option to do this?

1)Tennessee (my first choice) Pros: closer to family, nice scenery, most temperate option, low COL
Cons: Low pay (breaks even with COL), shitty schools, crime of course.

2) Ohio Pros: Low COL, good schools, solid demographics, tech scene, economy is growing, great overall pay in my field for COL
Cons: Ohio is typically looked at as boring, crappy winters (although not as bad as others), and OSU fans

3)New York (upstate) Pros: Great education system, great demographics, low low crime, solid pay and upstate is much lower COL than the city.
Cons: brutal winters, headless horseman throws pumpkins at you in October, Yankees

4)Massachusetts Pros: Cape Cod, Red Sox, great education system, low crime, active populace, access to Boston, New York, Philly, Baltimore, DC all within a train ride, ol lady's family.
Cons: Extremely high cost of living (100k goes nowhere), tolerable but long winters, lefties and SJWs everywhere, snoody shitty unfriendly people.

5)Texas (my fallback) We all know the pros and cons of Texas. Probably looking at the Eastern and Northern end of the state.
