Downstate New York or Southern California out right..but when Quality of Life and Cost of living are factored , I think it goes to North Texas or Middle Tenneasee as these regions are very propersous and affordable

quality and life and cost of living are entirely different concepts. they don't go hand in hand. the more expensive places generally have better quality of life - that's why they're more expensive.

Greater Houston can actually be considered its own unique region. But for the purposes of this thread, it is South Texas. After all, it is in the southern portion of the state.
