One thing I forgot to mention is that everything down here is a little more expensive. Not Cali expensive, but higher then normal. Ave apartment is usually 500-850 for a 1 bed. 800-1500ish for a 2 bed. Ranch style houses with 3 beds, 2 bath, pool, garage usually run around 150-400k.
Gas is 3.15.
Average pay around here more then makes up for it. Target cashiers make $9.50 starting, so if you got some good experience and education you could find a great job down here easy, since it is always expanding.
Just in my local area there have been 2-3 new High schools built just to keep up the demands for the influx of people.
And as Nathen said, the drivers are TERRIBLE.....I feel like I am back in Ohio......
