My wife and I are making the move here in the coming months. Charlotte sits on the SC border and while NC tends to be a swing state because a lot of NY liberals have moved in SC is EXTREMELY conservative. There are many SC cities that are considered suburbs of Charlotte so you can work in Charlotte while living in SC. SC is also very affordable compared to Denver I paid $2.89 a gallon for gas today thanks to their low taxes

We gave Texas a lot of consideration but there's to many non English speakers there and it's got to be one of the ugliest states in the union.

Charlotte has very high crime. at least according to the numbers that I read every year.

I had lived in Charleston, SC for a few years before moving here. (I'm not from there, or here).
I really liked it. All winter long I miss it especially badly.
What I'd miss most is there is no public property to just go get lost in. No great spots to bike or run.
But politically, and just the whole environment in general, I really miss South Carolina.

I'm assuming you guys are talking Rock Hill area. I do miss the Carolinas. I wouldn't mind retiring back there, or at least being seasonal.
