Wondering where you should move? Check out this resource! (buying, property taxes)

Many thanks to user Bowie for pointing me to this amazing resource.

Wondering where in the world you should move or vacation? Do you want a small city with lots of expensive restaurants, an older population, sunny weather, low property taxes, an educated populous, and great bookstores? A big city with cheap rent, diversity, fine arts venues, opportunities for higher education, and a liberal atmosphere? Check out this book: Amazon.com: Places Rated Almanac: The Classic Guide for Finding Your Best Places to Live in America (9780979319907): David Savageau: Books: Reviews, Prices & more
For $17 you'll have 400 pages of information on some 379 metropolitan areas in the United States. There's a 72 question test in the beginning so that you can figure out exactly what you're looking for.

I see lots of posts on this site asking "where should I move? I want this, this, and this" (I'm no exception) and upon getting this great recommendation from Bowie (and excitedly receiving it from Amazon yesterday afternoon), I had to share.

So if you're considering going some place new, this $17 investment is the least you can do for yourself. I'll definitely be buying a copy for my parents who move constantly (I moved 40+ times in my 17 years at home) and wind up miserable because they practically point to any spot on the map and just go, with no idea what to expect.

I highly recommend this book!
