Anytime related to the "South". West Coast is chill. East Coast is chill.

[–] toiletobserver@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Too far down the east coast gets gross. What's your cutoff?

Personally, I'd say North Carolina.

[–] Beacon@fedia.io 13 points 3 days ago (3 children)

"The East Coast" generally means the north east. "The South" is all the states in the south eastern corner of the country, including the coastal states down there. (Where the borderline is between them depends entirely on who you ask)

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.'

Urban areas are typically more "blue" as they're populated by people who can read, more or less.

Any of them that make up the southern border. They are almost unilaterally shitholes that would cut off their arm if it meant the "right" people suffer.

Leave New Mexico off that list. While not perfect, they sure have been knocking it out of the park recently. It's stunningly beautiful too

[–] blarghly@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Arizona is also beautiful. Unfortunately, it also has Pheonix.

[–] leftthegroup@lemmings.world 3 points 2 days ago

And Kari Lake.

[–] Truscape@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 days ago

Before or after the Breaking Bad era? (/s)
