    I guess that depends on your perspective. I was born in Augusta, GA at Camp Gordon and lived there for a minute and have not been back. I moved multiple places over the next 18 years. When ppl ask where I'm from, I say Georgia. If they ask what part, I say Brunswick (where I went to HS), not Augusta.

    Well you wouldn’t compare Buckhead to Palatka, sure. I think that goes without saying. Apples to apples, though, Georgia will be significantly cheaper.

    I’m from Lake Mary area, when I moved to GA in 2017, there was a difference, GA was cheaper. But now, I’m not seeing it when you compare similar areas. the real savings is in hazard insurance. much cheaper here in GA.

    Had a girl tell me to kiss her where it stinks, so I drove her to Palatka.

    Probably has to do with my German heritage that I prefer precision.

    Whenever anyone asks where I'm from - it's always "Born in California, lived there for a year, then re-located to Norfolk until I was 15, then re-located to Florida where I finished high school, and have been here ever since."

    That way they have the entire picture. :D

    You come from a military family? Thanks for your service! ;)

    I agree with that. I'm the same way. I was born at Irwin army hospital in Fort Riley, KS. By 6 months old I was living in Germany, 2.5 years later I was in Ft. Bragg, by the time I was 5 yrs old I had moved to central Florida where I remained till I was 20. I consider kissimmee/st. Cloud where I'm from because I spent all my school years there as a was growing up.
