               SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, IS BEST PLACE TO RETIRE

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the 
beloved city of Savannah, which has been recognized as one of the best 
places to retire in the United States by HGTV.
  Since I have been a resident of Georgia's First District my whole 
life, I know that it is the best place to live and retire, but it is 
nice to see Savannah receiving the national recognition it deserves.
  Affordability plays a pivotal role in the city earning this 
distinction, with the cost of living notably below the national 
average, as well as the absence of estate taxes.
  Other key factors that contributed to the city's rankings include its 
delightful weather, tax-friendly area, and convenient and accessible 
transportation.

and southern charm make it the perfect place to live and retire.
  I have done that all my life and intend to retire there, as well.
