I was born and raised in Pennsylvania, but have been living in Ohio for most of the last 14 years. Ohio is not that bad if you have a decent job. You could live comfortably and the politics are sensible (not too far left or right). You typically don't have to worry about hurricanes, wild fires, volcanos, earthquakes or tsunamis. The weather can be brutal in the winter, especially along Lake Erie.
With that being said, I wouldn't mind having a house on the Chesapeake Bay somewhere between the Potomac and York Rivers in Virginia. But I can't afford it lol.
