Mattman7 is correct. I absolutely love it here in SC. Weather is great, fishing is good,(I caught a 65lb blue cat 2 weeks ago) and it really is laid back here compared to CT. I live on a dead end road with 14 houses on it. Very quiet. Just got my house tax bill for the year. $950.00 Brand new house! Back in CT was in the high $3,000's. for a 20 yr old house on a postage stamp! less than 1/4 acre. I've got 1.3 acres here.

I'm not going to say that the economy hasn't hurt down here, but housing prices are holding for now.

Anybody thinking of retiring or moving for a job, look to the Carolina's.
