The scenery?
Job promotion?
Military?
Your family lives here?
You've lived here all your life and haven't had the chance to move/don't want to move?

Just wondering.

Arkansas is great. I've lived in Texas & California, but prefer Arkansas.

It's beautiful country, it's easy to make money. The economy is great. Money stretches a long long way in Arkansas.

Most people don't know it, but Arkansas is sitting on a Gold Mine of Natural Gas.

The grass is greener in Arkansas. I don't know why everyone doesn't move to Arkansas.

I am considering buying real estate in San Diego when the real estate bottoms out in Cali, but will remain in Arkansas.

Arkansas is the best state in the Union.

In Arkansas you get the biggest bang for your buck when it comes to beautiful scenery/cheap real estate. I no longer live in Arkansas however

Three reasons

1. Difficult to find out of state employment directly out of an Arkansas college unless its the flagship in Fayetteville

2. My family lives here.

3. The scenery is nice.

Good job, family here, born here...honestly can't think of any place I'd rather be at the moment.

Well, of course if I was filthy rich I'd be living in a castle in Europe somewhere but realistically speaking...I have no kids so I'm not looking for a place with awesome schools, I'm not looking for "diversity" or whatever. Maybe some day I'll be traveling and find some 0mg! amazing place and want to move there, but I haven't found it yet and I've been around the block.

My family moved here right before college and I came along. I live at home while going to school.

Arkansas isn't the best state in the union, but it's good enough for me. I've moved around so much in my life that I'm staying put.

Lemme tell you I'm a mountain man grew up in the Rockies, and there ain't no place quite like home. I was also ex-military and a military brat and we traveled the country and the world intensively. Eventually I moved back home to Colorado and everything was different, the landscape and the people. There were 2 places I considered relocating, that of the Northern Rockies WY, MT or that of the South AR, TN. I tried both and really fell in love with that of the South, it's hospitality and its sense of pride. There really was only a few places in the South that a mountain man in their late 20s can call home the Smokeys or the Ozarks. Today I have a condo in Knoxville, TN and am looking at a house in Fayetteville AR, am currently residing in Fayetteville and looking to pursue a PhD in Public Policy next year, Go Hogs, but perhaps in a few years also a ranch up in Buffalo, WY. From sea to shining sea, I call America home, but you can certainly only live in one place at a time. Furthermore there ain't no utopia, but somehow Fayetteville sure feels like one.

It is Arkansas' crowning gem! Fayetteville that is

wow, so many reasons:

change of seasons, with all being mild:

Great property values

People with moral values

you can live in the forest or rural area and still be 1/2 hour from the entertainment, medical facilities and shopping so many need and want: it is the best of both worlds,

low property taxes

in our case, closer to family than in New Mexico

lakes, mountains, forest, whatever you want is at your finger tips

But most of all, people in Arkansas are proud to be Americans..

WAAAAHHHH!!! I'm jealous!!! I can't wait to get to Arkansas. California is so freakin' expensive it's hard to get the money I need to move. But I'll be there as soon as humanly possible.
