Michigan is practically Canada, especially northern LP / UP, and we need all the pedes we can get.

Progressive policies apply, but not to the same degree. Might be a soft landing?

I once met a couple from Michigan over a bowl of clam chowder in Seattle. They seemed very nice, almost Canadian.

Can I exercise 2A there? What are taxes like? How is it to run a business? Is pot legal there? I WANT TO WEAR A SPACE FORCE HAT!

Open carry state, very much 2A. Taxes on par with Rust belt, not the lowest in the nation, though. Legal weed, starting a second business as we speak. father ran his own business for 25 years. state and fed never stop finding ways to get their hands in your pocket, but pretty typical. Think income/tax rates for the state are roughly 10-12%.

Come on down! And from Detroit you can look south to CA!

Not bad! I will seriously consider MI, I was for some reason under the impression that it was a blue state and thus a democrat shithole where I pay all the money and receive none of the benefit. I am gladdened to know this is not the case. I have family in Windsor, but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want to live in Detroit. Any other recommended cities/counties in MI?

It’s a swing state, by no means decidedly blue.

I wouldn’t recommend Detroit either, just a fun little anecdote that you can look south to Canada, eh?

The further away from Detroit you go, the more red it gets. Aside from maybe Lansing. Grand Rapids is streaked with blue, but most business there posted up shop because detroit was too blue.

Avoid Detroit and Ann Arbor, and that makes up 80%+ of lefties* here.

Are you looking for more rural, suburban or urban?

And without getting too specific, what line of business are you in?

Also: hockey rinks per capita is a nice little reminder of home.

Texas has what you need, fren. 0% state income tax, very good business incentives, castle doctrine (2A stuff), and considering all the Commiefornians being imported we could use more Pedes.

Alot of those Californians are taxpaying pedes. Now your southern border counties form a solid blue wall of its own. I wonder why?

Texas is one of my top choices for the reasons you've listed. How do they manage to go on with 0% state income tax? I'm coming from a place where NOTHING is not taxed at least once, so I'm genuinely curious how that works.

It is hard to find outdoor shooting ranges (over 50 Yards) in parts of south east Michigan though without being a member of a club that requires you to work there some.

Got stuck in michigan for the summer of 2015. Lot of great people there. Shittiest roads in the entire country though.

Just stay far, far away from Detroit at all costs.

Drove through the upper peninsula in 2017 too, absolutely beautiful place.
