<prompt> Human: Hey PF, I have the fortunate situation of having a work from home job with a pretty significant amount of travel 50-7537; for which I can live anywhere that has a reasonably sized airport. Im 30Msingle.Currently, Im in Columbus, OH. Overall I like it pretty well, but Im not in love with it, and it seems I have some bad allergies to Ohio previously lived in Cincinnati for a short stint and had them there too. I thought this was just me getting allergies with age, but several people have actually told me that Ohio is bad when it comes to allergies. I grew up in IL and never had allergies there, and they seem to go away when I go to visit home.Anyways, enough about allergies, here is what Id like out of a place to live: Low COLtaxes would be good but not an absolute must, I make a good salary The rest of my family is in IL still. Somewhere thats not super far away would be a plus but not a must Airport must be decent sized, but doesnt have to be a hub by any means The less snow, the better. The more weeks out of the year I can play golf without freezing, the better. Im sort of tired of 30 years of midwest winters Good food scene is a plus though I dont go out to eat that much Nightlife is not much of a factor as Ive grown out of that scene Sports teams would be a plus Carracing scene is a plus i.e. autocross events - not professional racingIve thought about this a bit, and Ive come up with a few thoughts: Nashville - no state income tax, however COL seems to be rising quickly. Not terribly far from home 5 hour drive, better weather than midwest. Know a few people there. San Diego - basically, the weather. Obviously this doesnt fit with low COL. Indianapolis - closer to home, but thats about it really. A couple friends there. One con is that Indiana has a dumb registration fee on vehicles based on value that would irk me to pay every year I have an expensive toy as cars are my passion. Chicago - closer to home, tons to do, some friends there. But not sure I want to deal with a city quite that big and the winters would be worse. IL and Chicago is also corrupt and has a major budget crisis. Charlotte - pretty decent weather. Major airport. Dallas - maybe crazy hot in some cases, but limited snow, major airport, Texas BBQ, lots of sports teams, no state income tax.Right now Im leaning towards Nashville, but Im also indecisive and a little bit lost with trying to figure this out. I can always stay where Im at too, but I think Im ready for a change of scenery. Im a little torn with moving super far away from IL as I do enjoy seeing my family every couple months.  <response>: North Carolina always gets my vote. Its like the offbrand version of california
