Beginning analysis:

A good place to live when you are planning on living there for more than 5 years…Very expensive and too liberal.  Drinking at a young age and free healthcare.  Beautiful nature though, maybe this would be a great place to go vacation in.  Stay away from the cities and go camping a lot, be secluded.
