That kind of stuff is expensive. Hope you have a good job lined up. There's plenty of work, you'll need it.
The state is purple, sliding blue. Some try to deny it, but it's true.
Folks seem to think this is a conservative state that's inexpensive to live in with plentiful cheap land.
Nothing could be further from the truth.

Your comments are very valid.
Compared to northeast and co. The prices are very attractive.
Example when I lived in the Hudson valley of Ny 3/8’s of arce and house was a raised ranch 1900 sq ft
When I sold it in 2019. School and property tax was $11,300 a year . Yes you pay school tax in NY regardless if you have kids attending or not.
Here I have 3.18 acres and 1400 sq ft house my taxes are $908 a year.
In nc you can live on 50k very comfortably. Ny 100k you poor. Taxes fees cost of living is nuts….
I know when I lived on the coast locals were complaining of houses on the beach being 380,000.
When someone coming from these high tax and fee states that’s nothing for what they are use to spending..
average house now is north of 450-500,000 so prices here seem dirt cheap ..
its a bad cycle that really needs to be broke in these liberal shot holes.
