Where to live with a two year old?

what does one do if their family (father step monther 3 sisters) are in a cold wisconsin state..their good friends(alot alot of friends) are in missourri (and a mother) except the best place to live environmentally is key west- also the job opportunity is there but at this point who knows whats to come of it... what would you do to bring it all together? How would you prioritze that? Now the downfall- I have a 2 year old and up north is bestter education yet is very crime ridden and hard knox- missouri is farmers and crystal meth heads everywhere and low schooling. key west is very gay - not that i dont mind gays- but dunno if thats best for my son as an environment either.. so what is a mom to do for her own sanity and for her own child's welfare?
