The northeast, except NH, is a ripoff. I'd gladly live in a flyover state and keep my money.
I grew up in Vermont...in a house built by one of ancestors over 200 years ago. Vermont used to be a staunchly conservative state. For example, former (Republican) Senator George Aiken once spent $17.00 on his re-election campaign, and most of that was return postage to his supporters. Now the state is a bastion of liberals...
Live out west now and would never go back. I noticed no one mentioned living in Montana or Utah. I completely understand why... No mountains or scenery at all, lots of a**holes, ridiculous taxes, the weather sucks, cost of living is obscene. You get the point. Don't even think of moving here.
