location

Like all decisions you make, where you physically operate is a decision that should be CAREFULLY decided on based entirely on facts.

Every region in the United States, and indeed every country as well, has positives and negitives.  One must carefully choose where a person is to relocate to based on a great many factors.  Existing social inferrence, jjob market, census analysis, existance of a unique resource, proximity to other operations, and much more all should be considered when relocating.

It is important to remember that cities want productive people to move into their area.  View a possible move as the acceptance of a new job.  Does it offer you what YOU want or are you settling for something?  It is important to remember also that most of the time people do not initially START where they want to be.

Research and make a well informed decision and make sure you really REALLY really put some thought in your target geographic location.  Nothing changes your day to day operations quite like where you live and work and play.

Always remember, each city and country are competing with each other for YOU.  Make em give you what you want.
