Im mostly concerned about culture. I cant live in a world of strip malls.
The circumstances are that where I would work is in suburb with great housing, great neighborhoods very close. So I am confident on the 15-20 min commute. We know a number of people who are currently doing it.
Its attractive financially and quality of life-wise, but I'm not sure its for me. I think we'll make a trip down and check it out.

I'll second the "Grass is Always Greener" comment made earlier.
Everyplace has its flaws.......If you like autumn, which is my favorite season, it won't be the same down there.

You could still come back to visit and I could watch you cast after I got too tired from reeling in one schoolie. Just remember to bring bug spray so I don't have to listen to you complain. |

For Christ sakes go!. New England is full of those folks that got off the boat and said I am just going to stay here. They were given out 40 acres and a mule for free. Naw Ill just stay here. No risk No reward.

It seems your commute is one of the main reasons you are considering it. Have you considered moving closer to your job here?

Are you a New Englander at Heart? If so, you belong here and won't really be happy somewhere else.

all good feedback and questions.
I lived in California on and off over the last 20yrs. I was single and no kids. Kids have changed everything. I have to factor whats best for them. While NE is a factor, I am very much an ocean person, not just fishing. I love being by the water. Do I sacrafice that for a potential better life for my family?
While in Ca, I did miss the seasons but also didnt get the winter blues, I was active year round.
My wife is sold, she will move tomorrow. its really up to me. We have great friends here, nice house, etc. The commute is a major driver of my discontent but so is the winter, economic outlook, job security, etc. NE is not growing. Keep the comments coming, it helps me think this through. Wife is going down in December to visit the area.
