Some years ago Duke University ran a job search for a senior scientist.

An American scientist resident in Denmark was flown in and gave an 
exceptionally good talk.  At dinner the conversation turned to his life 
in Denmark, and he seemed very happy with it.

So told him that, while I was not myself on the search committee, I 
thought it was almost certain that he'd be offered the job and asked if 
he would take it.

"Absolutely not!" he said, puzzled that I would even ask.

So opinions differ.

Duke is in Durham, NC, possibly too warm for your wife.  And it has lots 
of sidewalks to attract liberals, though as I found in an October walk, 
ankle-destroying breaks in the sidewalk can be obscured by colourful 
autumn leaves.
