Tim vetoed the Pacific NW because of it being too far from the few family members we have. (I liked it for that reason!

) he wants SE Florida, our "home away from home." We have weathered a couple of h'canes, no big deal compared to the EF5 tornadoes that we have survived twice now.
Both Chapel Hill and the east TN mountain region of NC are lovely. How is the status of taxes, public transport, proximity to beaches, housing market.
We like cities.
