NJ has been losing population for decades because people move to warmer climates as they age
But you completely avoided the elephant in the room. The median home price in St George is almost $500k!!! The median household income is under $50k!!! You moved to Hemet!!
Oh and my total utilities last month here in Carlsbad in my 2700 sq ft house on 11,000 sq ft lot? Under $90! I do have solar but after 6 years it’s paid for itself.
Living with AC on 24/7 by necessity? Sounds dreamy!
I checked out the concert scene there. Laughable. Better shows at the little Belly Up tavern in Solana Beach.
I checked out theatre. Basically community theatre at best
Museums? Basically Indian artifacts
Fully employed? At WalMart and fast food joints
Low cost of living? There is nothing to do there to spend money on except overpriced housing that is heading for a major crash
Great schools? Here is the top rated high school. The others are much worse
Rapidly expanding 4 year university? It will never be a true research based university of any acclaim. It will train the basic workers you need for schools and healthcare caregivers not physicians but it will never approach the scale of a UC or even CSU school.
