I went to Rock Hill, SC over thanksgiving to visit the girlfriend's family. Gotta say that your area of the country has a lot of natural beauty. Went through Greenville and into NC some (charlotte area). Really enjoyed the trip, but super long drive from Florida. I would consider moving up there if I didn't have to take a new bar exam, pay state income tax, and had homestead exemption like we do in florida.

It's best in extreme northern Oconee, Pickens, Greenville, and Spartanburg counties.

And yes, the state could do better on tax policy. We nearly got a state Fair Tax and school choice passed last session.
