What most of these places have in common is the fact they are not "sexy" and likely elicit the "no way I would live THERE!" reaction from folks in NYC, Chicago, SF, LA.
Humility breeds quiet competence and minimizes the BS factor (which probably was at least a partial cause of the recent past real estate froth in the "sexy" locations).
On a more personal note, three of the places we are looking at for eventual "retirement" relo - Augusta, Columbia and DC/ NoVA, are in here. All these have in common the fact they are on the Fall Line. Perhaps things have come full circle - the initial "hot" places from the 1700s and early 1800s at the inland limits of tidal navigation are again in the spot light.
I came within a hair's breadth of relo'ing there a bit more than 20 years ago. Mind you, this was back when CA was in its heyday. I often wonder how my life trajectory might have been had I gone for it.

Initally I moved out of LA because I was forced out. LA has an awful economy and my entire department was laid off. But Im very happy Im here and I believe my future is brighter here than it would have been in LA.

It seems that Texas overall has quite a strong economy. Also parts of NY and CT. No CA? Big surprise there.
