I moved to Phoenix five years ago and glad that I did. I really like it here. I was able to buy a house with a pool and the summer is tolerable. Finding a decent job was easy. My wife and I have travelled to California quite a bit and Vegas too. I can go skiing right now by driving north in under two hours. What initially scared me was the cost of home ownership. Buffalo is stuck in a weird spot. Taxes are higher, but the equivalent home costs less. ---

> [@nermoria](#): > > Not sure about the Carolina’s… I lived for a bit in Greenville/Spartanburg area and the job outlook there is pretty crappy. Buffalo has an all around job market, over there it seemed like it was mostly high skilled jobs. I guess it all depends on on what you’re looking for. BTW I was there in 2008. Maybe that’s just my experience. Greenville spartanburg is a pretty small area. Try a bigger city. ---

Work brought me out to SLC just about a year ago. Overall we like it out here, but there are some SERIOUS bass-ackwards things here; IE: liquor laws and the COMPLETE control the Mormons have over the government (makes the mafia/union control over NY look like amateurs). We haven’t been able to do a lot of “checking the city out” since we moved while Jenn was Prego and we had our son in August. We plan on doing a lot more this upcoming summer. We are not going to settle here though, we’re gonna spend about 4 years here, then start looking elsewhere; probably back east but not sure where yet. A portion of me wants to try and move back where I grew up outside Milwaukee; I love that city. ---

> [@Blue Eyed Devil](#): > > ^^That is really disappointing (and strange) to hear how the Mormons control govt. Oh, it is INSANE the control they have. The state liquor control board has ZERO people who drink on it, no restaurant or bar owners, and they confer with the church for any decisions they make. The rest of the state government is pretty much the same way in regards to having to get the churches “approval” before they make a decision. There’s some crazy lawsuits starting to fly about the separation of church and state out here that are going to get ugly eventually. You would think alcohol was the #1 killer of people in this state so they think they have to “protect the people from this daemon”; but the Meth and prescription drug use here are off the charts, plus I saw one statistic that Utah is the #1 state for anti-depression meds (specifically Utah women). If you’re an outdoors person this state is great though, hiking, camping, rafting, boating, hunting, biking, etc. ---
