So we've found/are finding. I had to drag my wife off of a fixation on MA, having sadly cashed in my fixation on NY (specifically Manhattan), and once she found Tolland County it was a done deal.
Things are a b*tch all over right now, as we well know - a good part of choosing now to relocate is that our major corporation is reliant on state funding which is now being shaken to the core. We could ride it out and restructure but we're both tired and ready to move on to a very early semi-retirement. So shakeups in funding and such are not a barrier, especially when the bar is so high to start with.
CA schools - the same schools I went to back in the day, when it was one of the most highly-rated school districts in the country - are so bad that we pay half a Cobra in tuition a year. Excellent schools, even with a few hits from reality, will be a welcome break and a better environment for our kids.
My wife will likely end up attached to a university - after she's slept in and done nothing for a year. I have to choose one of several paths for my days, but it will be a substantial reduction in complexity from the now.
