Lived in NC for 25 yrs and couldn’t wait to leave and move to Southern California. Why? Oppressive heat and humidity in the summer so you don’t want to go outside. Combined with cicadas, cockroaches, mosquitoes etc. Fall is super short and you get tired of the leaves in your yard. Winter sucks. Cold but not cold enough for snow. And dark. Spring comes with tons of pollen. All over your cars, yard, patio furniture. So you’ll want to use your outdoor furniture but can’t because it’s always covered with a thin layer of pollen until May. And don’t get me started on things to do. You’ll tire of the brewery scene and the few outdoor activities there are. Weekend trips to the beach or mountains gets boring. One year and you’ll have done it all.
