I think you will be very happy in Mass. Any place has it’s pros and cons but you seem to be choosing wisely. Without some general price range, it’s hard to recommend specific towns but the college towns tend to be most liberal.

Thank you! We’re trying to keep it under $250,000 …even that makes my palms sweat. but also are very used to being underpaid in NC and income ratios are different everywhere. we know it’s gonna be tight moving to literally any other state we are looking at but it’s worth it

I'll add those towns to my list to research! thank you so much for taking time out of your day to respond. I didn't see an article, but I'm kind of a 4 out of 10 for Reddit proficiency

Thank you! This is a cool read. I’m a total ranked-list nerd (if such a thing exists). Thanks again, from someone who reads Consumer Reports for the lists
