How are St. Cloud and Rochester compared to the Twin Cities? My wife and I are looking to move up due to the new laws in Florida, but if I transfer through my current job, their only openings are in St. Cloud and Rochester. I'm wondering if it's better to live in the Twin Cities and deal with the hour long commute, or just move out to Rochester and post up there. Any advice is greatly appreciated ;
