Would You Move For Politics/Policy?

Lots of passion over recent "issues", I'll keep it generic to hopefully delay being punted over to PARF. Simple question, would you leave your current state because of their stance on a political issue? Or would you grin and bear it, even if you disagree?

I say "yes" but we can't move because we can't sell our house and my job is here. Otherwise, we would have left Michigan a long time ago.

I'm considering this when I retire. I love where I live but too expensive for a limited income. I'm looking at TN, NC or western VA.

You mean to other countries that have less crime and the citizens regularly indicate a higher level of satisfaction and happiness?

I probably wouldn't leave my province for political reasons, largely because I can't think of anywhere else I'd rather live.

However, I've gotten frustrated with our municipal government to the point of almost moving over to the next municipality!

Nope, not gonna need to. We have the same screwed up politicians as the rest of the country, but the state is mostly doing the right things. Many laws could be better, but overall I like it here better than any state I have been to and I have been to most.

We are currently looking for camp type property/ and a place to build our dream home for when we retire, and we have been looking outside of our state, mostly because of taxes.

ONLY because of that? No. There are many facets to life. You have to look at all of them.
