Glad you did as well. I would never live in such a place regardless. Personal preference.
I was born there. I had very little choice in the matter until I was able to support myself.
Understandable then. Good on you for getting the hell out.
I'm not done yet.
I moved to NJ, then left. Two years ago I moved back to work a contract which is ending. I've already signed the paperwork for my next one and that will likely be enough for me to finally head south. Not sure how far yet, though.
