4. If you can you should move just outside Louisville.

I would say most of Kentucky other than Louisville is a less intense more lovely Florida, but if you don't live near a mid range city it will be difficult to do some of the things you would in most of Florida. Louisville is a great mid range city very friendly and moderately liberal.

Country Florida is worse than country Kentucky as far as crime and drugs go, I would say the deliverance factor is the same maybe slightly less than country Florida.

We only have a population of four million and 1 million of those people live around Louisville, huge difference from a state that has 20 million. Sales tax is 6% and we have state taxes, unless you live near a major city jobs will be tough cause there isn't much out in the country. Obama care here is terrific, they did a great job with the exchanges.
