Getting back on topic, I also think that one person's pro (or indeed con) might be another's con (or indeed pro). Of course one main reason is the weather, in fact one of ours - but I grew slowly to dislike the weather more and more. There were no surprises, I had been in Calis in each and every month prior to moving there so I knew how hot/cold/wet it could get but over the years the punishing summers and wet days with absolutely nothing to do with the kids grated me.
loiner is right about the council tax being cheap (although mine was nothing remotely close to 60 TL a year) but everything imported is outrageously expensive. Things even out in my opinion. Low council tax, outrageous car or petrol prices. Water rates stupidly small but spend hours of your life in queues trying to pay it. Or selling a moped. Or having the cheek to want your money from the bank. It was amusing once, I'm sure of that. I think.
So the point was that people's pros and cons can be completely opposite. But also that people's personal pros and cons don't necessarily stay constant over time.
