Tried living down south, hated it... To many snakes and spiders that can kill you, not to mention gators, hurricanes and tornados. It hot and crowded, traffic is ridiculous.... Yes you can get a house down south for less, and taxes are cheeper, but thats only until the area becomes developed then they to will hit you in the wallet... I' comfortable here, I know people, I look forward to the seasons and wouldn't leave NE again ever....
