So you lived somewhere else and targeted your area for these reasons? How did you make the leap? Did you move without a job? Target a job search in the area? Go to college there?

Was raised in this State, my Pop was transferred here from KC back in '73. I want to relocate, and probably will in the next few years. What has kept me where I am beyond my desired time is the cost of living, steady job, also a young step-son and a shared custody arrangement. When the time comes I want to put myself in a coastal area.

To get as far away from the edges of Earth as possible. Falling into space would suck.

I joined the Navy in 1980 from KC and ended up in San Diego, they offered to move me back to KC on my separation from the service, and I politely declined their offer.

I voted some other reason. Military brat that was dragged to CoMo, long story, blah, blah, I am still here. The wife and I are anchored right now to take care of her parents. Ready to retire and move somewhere else.

Metaphysically speaking, this seems like a trick question.

My wife and I had always talked about moving to the beach or water for years. As soon as my son finished High School we were going to leave this suburban, coach little league baseball, participate in PTA life behind.
About 2 weeks before he graduates I get an job offer. $45K raise full benefits for the family and moving expenses paid to Tampa. Ended up in St. Petersburg across the bay. 8 years now. One of my better decisions,

Can't beat the weather 8 months out of the year. 1 hr flight to the beach and to Vegas. Beautiful scenery when you get out of the cities. Hub of my industry. That being said I would be shocked if I don't end up back in KC one day. For some reason, I love you people and your midwestern ways. I may be mentally ill

Born here and stayed. Only 4 hours from Las Vegas and San Francisco, 1.5 hours from the beach, 3 for Disneyland and 4 to San Diego.
Can’t beat the location really.
