Meet The People Getting Paid $10,000 For Moving To West Virginia

3. The first site in the program is Morgantown, my original hometown.

It's a blue spot in a very red state, home of West Virginia University. It was a marvelous place to grow up. We had major sports year round, arts and culture (as a kid, I saw a lecture by Jacques Cousteau and a phenomenal ballet recital by Edward Villella - principal dancer with the NYC Ballet, among many others).

Housing has started getting expensive -- a one-bedroom apartment now averages $1000 a month. But head ten or fifteen miles out of town (and away from expensive student housing) and the price drops considerably.

And ten or fifteen miles out of town, you can be in the deep woods. It's a wonderful place to raise a family!
