Virginia is truly a beautiful state, people and land.
And so is SC. I could easily live in Myrtle Beach, Greenville, Columbia, Charleston, Tidewater, Richmond or NoVA...matter of fact those would be my geographic preferences outside of NC. Preferably Tidewater or anywhere from North Myrtle/Grandstrand down to Charleston. Beach, Golf, Seafood (fresh), etc. with the ability to get to most places in the Mid and South Atlantic and travel the Northeastern corridor for a weekend escapade when the urge hits. Love both states.
This isn't a matter of opinion though, that's the thing. You don't have to leave NC get your urbex fix at all and again, nothing in SC even comes close to Gary, Flint, Camden, etc.

I am not a fan of SC's climate, culture, or politics. I much prefer VA's. But there is something out there for everyone.

Problem with discussions like this is that they are as subjective as they are factious.
There are a number of people that find Utah absolutely beautiful and wonderful. I despise it. That isn't to say it is universally unappealing, simply that it doesn't conform to my tastes.
I agree with Tarheelhombre to an extent. I am not a big fan of South Carolina's climate or politics, but that is not to say that South Carolina is a bad state in any sense, again it just isn't my cup of tea.
Threads like this too often devolve into a fight to achieve a consensus on a non-existent objective truth.

I get the politics angle (although as I previously stated, on a statewide level NC and SC aren't very different these days), but as far as climate goes, that's an interesting take. I can see someone from western NC saying that, but otherwise the climate isn't too much different from most of SC, especially eastern NC. For the most part, we're only talking minor differences in average temps and humidity with a slightly higher chance of snow in the winter for NC and a greater threat of hurricanes. But hey, I guess those minor differences could mean a lot for some people.
I also get the sense that, with a couple of folks who live in the Triangle saying as much here, they really wouldn't prefer to live anywhere else in NC either if they had a choice.
Cheaper gas. I always fill up before entering NC. But I think we have the best roads because of it. On the other hand, Once they start building tolls in NC where I will have to pay High Gas, Vehicle Tax and Tolls then I'm out.

Gas is $2.09 today in Winston-Salem...how much is it where you are? I can't imagine it being much cheaper. It's always funny to me when I read about people filling up where they see gas $.03 cents cheaper per gallon - wow, they saved all of 50 cents!
It's more about regions than states...there is little difference across the Piedmont through VA/NC/SC. Same goes for the mountains/foothills/coastal plain/beaches. It's hard to tell any difference just by stepping over the state line between any of the three.
