I think all states probably have ok cities in them somewhere, and that it depends on your preferences but I would never live in Alaska.
And all states have downsides too. Mississippi and Oklahoma have the worst schools. Florida and Texas have crazy politicians. Wyoming doesn't want you there. Colorado has angry ranchers and pretentious yuppies. California has Bakersfield.
Alaska. Remote, expensive, so cold your car's tires freeze with the flat spot they had while you were parked so you thump thump thump down the graveled roads until they stretch out, and to paraphrase @poccalyps, 'ice storms, earthquakes,... and some of the dumbest, most entitled Jesus-humping maga fucks in the country.'
HAHAHA!!!
What's wrong with Alaska?
Polar bears, for one. Their politicians for two.
I'll never forgive them for allowing Sarah Palin out of containment.
ah, the good old days.
as a young Canadian at the time, that was one of the introductory events to the world of politics, for me
to think that back then that was the craziest shit coming out of the US, and compare that to today
Urban areas are typically more "blue" as they're populated by people who can read, more or less.
You're really stretching there with your last few examples.
Wyoming your biggest issue will just be a lack of any real culture or metropolitan amenities, plus the winters. But it is beautiful and the people are as friendly as anywhere else.
Colorado's problem tends to be hcol even outside the cities, and traffic to get to the mountains. But our government is shockingly functional, and our problems derive from tons of people moving here because it is a great place to live.
Cali's problem is definitely high prices and traffic. And kinda shocked you pegged CO as the place to find pretentious yuppies.
But honestly, I could be happy living in any of these places. Mississipi... would take some work.
Bakersfield? I think you forgot Redding.
