If you could live anywhere....

I'm partial to North East Texas. Yeah, there is the heat during the summer, but not much cold during the winter. But, with my Fibromyalgia and other problems, joints hate cold, it works for me.

I used to really love Oregon. Still visit there once a year to see relatives. But visiting there, they just have too many weird laws and the cost of living difference is a shocker compared to east Texas. Texas has no income tax, Oregon has no sales tax. But then Oregon doesn't have self-serve gas either.

But then, I live in the country, never liked cities. I noticed in Oregon, and in South Carolina (my brother lives there) that they have laws restricting what you can do/build on your property, even outside the cities. Here, if I want to add a shed or barn, I just put it up, no permits, no inspections.
