    Cost of living - Excellent....all y'all Californians need to move to NC.
    Cost of housing - Clemmons is maybe a little pricier than Winston-Salem, but not too bad.
    Population - about 20,000
    Rural- suburban- urban - suburban for sure
    Climate - We actually do have all 4 seasons here.
    Terrain - slightly hilly. Drive an hour to the West, it's mountainous...Drive 4 hours to the East (where I'm originally from) and you have the beach
    Traffic - fine unless it's snowing...then it's best to stay off the roads.

    What you like/ dislike - I LOVE the school system here, and the family atmosphere.
    Would you leave or are you a lifer - I plan on being a lifer....granted not in this house...it's a split level, and you have to take the stairs anytime you want to leave or enter the house. Just not something I want to have when I'm 95.

    Traffic is not too bad either. I have a relative who moved there. It's certainly not a bad place at all
    A little chilly in the winter though

    Thanks for sharing. I've heard good things about NC.
    I've been to a number of places there but my memory is vague

    Locale Oklahoma City
    Crime rate / safety I would say average
    Politics Mostly conservative
    Cost of living Excellent
    Cost of housing Excellent
    Population OKC proper 600,000+, OKC metro 1.3 million +
    Rural- suburban- urban I live suburban
    Climate Four distinct seasons, snow doesn't last long with fairly mild winters. Summer can hit 100+
    Terrain Mostly flat.
    Traffic I-40 and I -35 meet here. The interstates are busy, but I would say rush hours elsewhere are average. That would be mild by Cali standards.

    What you like/ dislike I would prefer to live outside of OKC. I rarely go into the city proper.
    Would you leave or are you a lifer I have no desire to ever leave Oklahoma.

    Politics where I live conservative, next town over very very liberal (all scientists)
    Cost of living not bad - taxes fairly low...
    Cost of housing is $215,000 for 3000 sq ft on 1.5 acres better than in the larger cities and states. 2-3 beadroom apt and houses rent for between 750 and 1200...
    Population - my town - about 3000....next town over - night time population is about 3500, day town population swells to about 45,000 because of plants
    Rural- suburban- urban in between suburban and rural - we are in county and can have chickens and animals - but 1/2 mile down in "city" no way.
    Climate - southern - hot, humid, worst place in the nation for sinus and allergies
    Terrain - hilly/mountain
    Traffic - indy 500 during commute time, but otherwise not bad

    What you like/ dislike close enough if I want population I can go far enough away I can ignore it
    Would you leave or are you a lifer
    - no I would move in a moment to another location...
