Depends what you need I suppose. My wife and I do not have children, so educational system is not high on our list.
However it has a trickle down effect. You want the neighbors kid to have a good education and not cause crime on the street, so you want it to be reasonably good.
My brother's wife works in the Buffalo medical campus and makes good money. The area is absolutely terrible, so I guess you have to take your salary and drive your self back to the suburbs where you won't be the victim of a crime.
But if you do the math on her wages including NYS taxes and gotchas, it is still good money but becomes almost a head scratcher why pay so much for limited services.
Las Vegas is boom and bust for sure. I have several friends who moved there and half did well, the other half ended up losing their house to foreclosure.
I'm living in Central Texas and the problem down here is people complaining about property taxes going up by a good amount every year. Texas limits it to 10 percent per year with the homestead program, but it is still going up every year.
It is sort of a good problem, because the value of your property is going through the roof. I am paying 2900 per year in property tax for a house assessed at $155000. I think its cheap compared to WNY. Also we are building new parks, recreation areas, tennis courts, a downtown area, a christmas lights show, fireworks, Tripe A baseball, AHL Hockey, parades, two recreation centers, indoor pools, even a water park is across my street. The city offers so much to its residents that I do not mind paying property tax.
When we lived in West Seneca the city didn't do anything for us, and there were little to no services.
I have been gone about five years now and come home once a year to visit family. The Pegula's have really dumped a ton of money into downtown, I hope that works out. My only gripe about Buffalo was the lack of jobs for myself and my wife, the high taxes, and the tough weather. I couldn't even imagine having to move back north ever again. I couldn't do it.
All she can remember is one was for a Liver transport at Pittsburg Children's
and kidney duct surgery at Strong Memorial
OMG I'm in North Vegas right now, how did you know
Right now I'm at Aliante Pkwy and Deer Springs Rd area ,new construction of every kind on just about every corner, Even a New Freeway (the Bruce Woodbury 215) looks just like Phoenix, Go to Google Maps, Earth, Street browser etc... zoom down every street & ever direction for miles everything is new, super clean and new construction on every corner, I was having a lunch at the Aliante Station Casino and a man was choking and in 2 1/2 Minutes, a Paramedic Fire Engine & Paramedic Ambulance arrived . I will tell you what a real Joke is, it's 2016 and a Buffalo Fire Engine shows up that is still providing 1960's level basic first aid and you have to wait 30 minutes, 45 minutes for ambulance to show up, better yet
your paying $10,000 a year in property taxes in the suburbs and you have a volunteer fire department that's also providing basic level first aid and you have to 15 minutes or longer for the volunteer's to show
and what shows up , are 5 brand new chief Tahoe's that have enough lights to land 747 and old fire engine with old man driving & explorer firefighter. that's it

Most of North Las Vegas is new, but there is an older southern tip that borders the
City of Las Vegas which is near the old strip. were the drug addicts, hookers & crime comes
over from the old strip. North Las Vegas City government isn't not perfect either, they built
a Trump Tower new 9 floor City Hall that they weren't ready for yet & couldn't afford, they should have waited
until they got closer to build out to build it. (Also City of Chandler AZ built a Trump Tower City Hall & Trump Tower Fire HQ Adim. building in the middle of the recession, for years 2008 -2012, budgets were bare bones but now Chandler is 1000% recovered and now is reaching build out near 2020, like many neighbors cities are also reaching build out in 2020ish time frame. Now new brand new 1 Million+ population cities are coming, as the valley sprawls out in all directions. To the West, The future City of Douglas Ranch Vision | Arizona City of Future breaking grounds 2018 or sooner watch the video, and to East, the future City of Superstition Villas Superstition Vistas Area Planning Project – Vision break grounds 2018
It will be better then Solar City, the US solar industry can't compete
with China , several massive solar plants just Like Solar City where be built here and never
opened. Luckly, They didn't stay vacant for long, they got purchased by Apple, Boeing, Amazon.com
and were retrofitted for there purposes.

I never understood why former plants in other "Rust Belt" areas weren't used for the solar industry in the US. You already have the people and facilities, which you could train and retrofit.

Also, solar panels might save energy, but they don't save you much or any money
1) Will cost around $30,000
2) Solar Panels require high maintenance, Parts needs to replaced
3) Power company's such SRP, APS have put surge charges on there
solar panel customers that make's up for any money that you saved
