Some OOT areas might not be too nice, but others are VERY attractive.
If you move to Cincinnati, the state gives you a $4700 private school tuition vouch every year per child (per the OU’s website). There’s also an eurv that encompasses a nice (yet affordable) neighborhood, some kosher dining establishments, etc. Sure it’s not NYC, but at least you can live a more comfortable life and not deal with so many liberals.
