liked to live in several places on the East Coast, I didn’t move there to due cost of real estate. I wanted to own a house. I had my eye on Portland or the Willamette Valley decades ago but now – nope.And frankly, if you wanna know the truth, back then libraries in the Willamette Valley were not progressive and their technology was not first rate. I would’ve been taking a step down in a technological environment to take a job there. Midwestern libraries were more progressive especially Illinois.
People who live there choose it, let them enjoy their choices.
And as for health insurance, please don’t forget that your president, Barack Obama, created affordable health insurance for everyone with the ACA. He told us we could afford it.If you don’t think that’s affordable then I wonder was that another fantasy he sold to the American public? Personally I think it’s a decent option.
