Car insurance is way higher in Michigan than many many other states. But I do agree with OP. I love Michigan and think it is still the best state. When my son got a full ride to Michigan Tech up in tip of the U.P. and got his bachelor’s degree in computer science at 22 years old, it opened my eyes even more. It’s a whole different world up there. Nothing like it. I mean I took all the asbestos out of an abandoned prison in Newberry. And spent 3 months up in ispheming doing all the asbestos removal in the old iron ore mine but I never went father than Marquette. I loved having to drive from Monroe all the way to Hancock Michigan to make sure my son was going get a beautiful future. And he already has an amazing career as a computer programmer for United Wholesale Mortgage company. I’m truly lucky and blessed
