Moving to North Carolina from New York, New Jersey or the North East area

Why move? Lower taxes, great schools, new homes, jobs, colleges? Why do people move to North Carolina from the North East?

The Raleigh, Cary, Holly Springs, Research Triangle Park, Morrisville and Apex area is very unique because there are so many people from all over of the world but I am often curious as to what really motivates people to move.

Fact: Cost of living is lower

If you move from New York (Manhattan), NYto .... Groceries will cost: 25% less
Housing will cost: 77% less
Utilities will cost: 36% less
Transportation will cost: 22% less
Healthcare will cost: 19% les

What do you think are other reasons why people move to the Raleigh area of North Carolina from the northeast?
