I have lived in the Washington DC metro area most of my life.
I thought about moving to the New York City area, but the high COL and property taxes discouraged me. Also, I heard too many stories about having to work crazy hours.
I am not inclined to move anywhere else right now, because I would have to take a huge salary cut and start all over again in my career. Maybe after I retire, who knows?
