Just left NC after 11 years,
On the plus side
lower property taxes
moderate winters, with four seasons
slower pace of life
everyone waves
on the minus side
higher income tax,
annual property tax on vehicles
home owners insurance more expensive (generally anywhere in the southeast)
due to all the hurricanes,
no job industry, and I mean no job industry
schools could use improvements...
long hot summers
everyone waves, but they really want to be left alone,
--property tax on the car when I bought it in another state
--resentment toward transplants (granted I've only seen that on this board - but - maybe it's only vocalized on this board)
Biggest problem with NC is the governor and taxes.
