    Live in Delaware for more than 30 years, not from here. I can tell you from living in several other states, there is no perfect place. Delaware is what you accept. If you continue to gripe about what it doesn't have, you are missing opportunities to expand your horizon/life experiences. It doesn't have airports and major sports teams but think about the cities that do and they have more crime and less open space to enjoy biking, walking, playgrounds, picnics, times with family FOR FREE! Sure, you have to drive 2 hours to get to an airport, sporting event, museums, etc. but from my experience, people who live in cities with those things generally don't visit them that often because they live there and too expensive to attend. Again, once you accept what it doesn't have and stop complaining about it, Delaware is not THAT bad.

    You’re preaching to the choir, but i don’t want people to think I’m inherently bias because one I’m lifelong DE native and two I also sell real estate here. So I just want to be transparent that Delaware does have problems and it’s not perfect but I still think it’s pretty good.

    Lived there 14 Years. Couldn't moved out fast enough. Now I'm in New Jersey life is better. I Lived in NYC, Philly and Maryland (DMV).. I have something to compare it to. "Good ole boy network" and no blk middle class, too many wawas and dollar stores, no entertainment, underdeveloped main streets. Roadways and highways haven't caught up to the population (MOT area) and some still flood. Oh lastly, up until recently (since I moved) no major flights to anywhere. He is right the air quality is bad if you have allergies and the Hospital and Dr networks are overcrowded with ER wait times in the hours. Did I mention most places the Fire Departments are volunteer only?

    Well, the property taxes are significantly lower. However, if you’re thinking of moving to the beach, get ready to pay a huge amount on your water bill. In addition, home prices are absolutely outrageous within ten or more miles from the beach, and the traffic becomes a nightmare during the summer months.
