My brother moved to Minneapolis in 1987 to be with his wife and loves it there. The many lakes makes for great fishing in the summer and winter, plus there's lots of open areas where he can take out his snowmobile. He has told me over the years that he'll never move back to Canada.
Recently however he has grumbled about having to pay for health insurance since being let go from his job 6 months ago. The cost of health insurance makes it a barrier for many Americans like him that might want to retire early. He says he'll probably have to work until age 65 where he will then get medicade.
For me it's a nice place to visit but there's no way I would ever move Stateside.
