Taxes aren’t bad, imo. 7% sales tax, no tax on grocery items, personal property taxes paid to the county aren’t bad unless you own lots of toys like new cars, boats, campers, etc. I drive an ‘06 Mercury Grand Marquis and a ‘14 Buick Encore and pay a total of about $125/year. Real estate taxes vary by county but here in Kanawha County, I pay about $1,000/year on a 3 bedroom back-split brick home in a city. State income tax isn’t too bad either.
The best thing, though, besides the natural beauty of the state, is the people. Friendliest people you’d ever want to know. UNLESS they’re WVU fans during a game. And even then, when they know you, that just makes it more fun. I used to host an annual keg party at my house for 30 friends during the Pitt/WVU game. Me versus 30 WVU fans. That was between 1979 and the last party was probably around 1996. Win lose or draw, they were great parties.
