There’s a wait here for PCP, but urgent scares are everywhere. Strip malls will be the death of me! Seems like a new one goes up every week and sits empty for years.
I do not mind a commute at all, as my commute rn is ~50min. I’ll have to look at Addison County because 25min sounds like a dream commute!

Thank you, I think sometimes all the red makes me see red. It’s been something I’ve thought about for a while, just feels like my state is a lost cause. I’m tired of fighting and feeling like things only get worse.
I’m for sure not looking for perfection or paradise. Just somewhere that at least tries to move in the right direction. Thank you for the reality check tho, no where is perfect. But I am looking for better!

That’s good to know! Where I’m at, there are more houses than people, so that’s a new problem I’ll have to learn to work with before I go.

Good to know, I haven’t had to deal with a harsh winter yet. I will have to do a deeper dive into everything that it entails!

Thank you for all the information and specifics, I do have a dog, so I’m glad you mentioned vets.
Good luck with your possible move though, I hope it goes smoothly!

Thank you for your honesty! That’s fair, I was hoping it was more along the lines of people align more ideologically with him.
Is there anything that is super expensive or scarce that I could start collecting now to help with the winters up there?

I appreciate the warm welcome despite the cold weather!
I’ll have to start looking at specifics when it comes to housing. Seems like if I can pin that down after a job, I’ll be winning half the battle.

That’s enough to buy a mansion where I’m at!
I’ll have to go through some Zillow listings later today, thank you again!

Thank you for the info! Housing is the thing I’m probably most nervous about because my state is pretty cheap if you stay away from big cities. But with my degree I need to be close to one.
My research says rents around Burlington are averaging 1600 per month. Is this an accurate number in reality? Especially with the crazy inflation going on, I’m not sure if I can trust old numbers.

Why’s that? Are there fewer of them there than other states?
