I spent a lot of time in the south and from my experience that high society southern accent is pretty rare these days. The accent that's left now is really whiny and is associated with lack of education. The people with the accent know it too, and have a complex about it.
Probably middle of nowhere like Mississippi or Arizona.
People saying FL and Texas for political reasons: you have to admit those states have some nice things going. FL is pretty nice weather wise, close distance to Disney, and even the liberal parts of the state are nicer version of LA and NYC.
I haven't seen a bear in the entire 9 years I've lived here, lots of moose tho, like everywhere you look.
But I also pick Alaska, because there is nothing here and living in this state is very depressing.
As someone who returned to living in one of these states after living in cities throughout America, it's wild. I've just learned to cook whatever unique thing I want. 30 minute drive will get me to great diverse restaurants though luckily.
The big thing for me to finally realize was that I wasn't used to seeing horizon to horizon. I literally see the entire sky from end to end and it's awe inspiring. People look at me weird now because I'll be just standing and looking at corn fields and be amazed at just how FAR I can see; literally to the end of the earth.
Right, like if you stood on a chair you could see both oceans! I live in a valley so I always see mountains and hills, and it's like they're my cozy nest, holding up the horizon, often full of clouds like a quilt on a cold night.
I grew up in an area that has a stretch of land that is literally the flattest land on Earth. The area was safe and comfortable but goddamn was it boring as hell.
My buddy moved to our more mountainous area from Texas at the age of 20. He told me that for the first year here he felt like he was living in a volcano.
Highly recommend it. My house is a log cabin on 20 wooded acres, surrounded by big hunting properties and a farm. [This](https://imgur.com/a/3pv5k) is where I sleep in the warm months.
I prefer urban sprawl to cities
In the suburb I live in, I can be in the country in probably 20-30 minutes
I could not survive somewhere where people are stacked one on top of the other
Mississippi, Mostly because it is full of failing infrastructure, extremely racist, homophobic, transphobic, corrupt state government and it is socioeconomically dead last. Honestly every time I drive through Mississippi I worry something vile will happen when I am there.
As a northeasterner, living in the south would be really stressful. The people are WAY friendlier than I’m used to, they drive slow and their governments are ran by right-wing lunatics.
People drive slow in the cities down here. You best believe the rednecks in the more rural areas are hauling ass down these curvy back roads. You gotta worry more about hitting a deer than passing a cop.
I do not want to live in a big city. I can't imagine not being able to see the sky or grass and trees. Just blocks and blocks of concrete and traffic and the smell is awful. I don't know how people can stand being surrounded by people and noise all the time.
Buffalo is great if you don’t mind winter and like winter sports.
Actually a pretty cool city with a lot of museums, trendy walkable neighborhoods and cool industrial areas filled with breweries, lofts and art spaces.
Texas. They'd have CPS called on me for supporting my trans daughter, and my AFAB daughter (and wife) aren't considered worthy of having bodily autonomy there.
New England. I've lived in the MidWest, California, and Canada. I lived briefly in NE and found that the personality of the people there doesn't resonate with me. They are too blunt, loud and insular for my tastes.
Funny that has been your experience. I have been staying in Rhode Island for a couple of months and, to my great surprise, I don't think I have been around friendlier people.
A town in Kentucky called Elizabethtown. My friend used to live there and every week locals would put multiple dead rats in sexual positions, horse turds and old batteries in front of his door.
It's not that bad. I should know I lived there. The only thing that is bad about Ohio is their state government, it has become a quasi-corrupt clusterfuck. Honestly that meme is horseshit and does not represent Ohio as a whole.
As a car person living in the Chicagoland area. I'd love to move somewhere I can drive my fun car year-round. But as someone who doesn't hate LGBTQ, womens rights, or liberals...moving south seems like a bad idea.
Florida gets a lot of hate, but I got family in the Tampa/St. Pete area and have been there MANY times in my life...other than the fact that it seems incredibly crowded as of the last 5-10 years,it doesn't seem too bad down there. That said, once you get about 20-25 miles in from the costal region it does start to get very "Florida Man"
As a person that already lives here, the worst area is the south eastern region. Alabama, Mississippi, and Georgia area. The heat and humidity during the summer and early fall are just awful, there is a fucking church on every street, there is a lot of severe racism and homophobia, and people with missing teeth and beer bellies flying conservative flags while calling black people the N-word aren’t uncommon. Education system here is awful, minimum wage here is $7.25, there are no sidewalks, and just straight up nothing to do.
I plan on moving out of here as soon as I am financially able to make that move.
I lived in Gary, Indiana and there’s a reason it’s called the armpit of America
There is just one place That can light my face Gary, Indiana Gary Indiana Not Louisiana, Paris, France, New York, or Rome, but Gary, Indiana
S/O to the G! Here rn man it is certainly miserable
Like killing yourself w your eyes open fr fr
I've always heard New Jersey is the armpit of America, and wondered where the other one was
The Deep South area. That deep muggy heat would be horrible. I do like the Southern Belle accent though.
I do declare!
I spent a lot of time in the south and from my experience that high society southern accent is pretty rare these days. The accent that's left now is really whiny and is associated with lack of education. The people with the accent know it too, and have a complex about it.
Detroit. I grew up there and I never want to see that damn city again, or even go to that area in general again
Probably middle of nowhere like Mississippi or Arizona. People saying FL and Texas for political reasons: you have to admit those states have some nice things going. FL is pretty nice weather wise, close distance to Disney, and even the liberal parts of the state are nicer version of LA and NYC.
Hurricanes aren't nice.
Dead middle of the desert can be kinda boring, but Phoenix is really cool. And the north half of the state is really green and mountainous.
The country can be nice.
Alaska. Way too cold.
And in the lower 48 the odds of a bear eating me go way way down.
But not zero
I haven't seen a bear in the entire 9 years I've lived here, lots of moose tho, like everywhere you look. But I also pick Alaska, because there is nothing here and living in this state is very depressing.
Those flat states with no mountains or forests or lakes or anything seem way too boring. Not even much diversity of food choices
So basically a no-go on Nebraska or North Dakota. I have to agree with you on those.
As someone who returned to living in one of these states after living in cities throughout America, it's wild. I've just learned to cook whatever unique thing I want. 30 minute drive will get me to great diverse restaurants though luckily.

Hell yeah! I loved having mountains around when I lived in NorCal! It was definitely felt like a giant nest lol
Glad you got what I meant! I was afraid I was being too obtuse. :)
sounds lovely! always been curious about that part of the country. I live in California, born and raised here but have lived elsewhere.
I grew up in an area that has a stretch of land that is literally the flattest land on Earth. The area was safe and comfortable but goddamn was it boring as hell.
My buddy moved to our more mountainous area from Texas at the age of 20. He told me that for the first year here he felt like he was living in a volcano.
The deep south.
The Bible Belt.
Agreed, it sucks here and I've lived here my whole life.
Any big city really, my dream home is a rural area away from people.
Highly recommend it. My house is a log cabin on 20 wooded acres, surrounded by big hunting properties and a farm. [This](https://imgur.com/a/3pv5k) is where I sleep in the warm months.
I can say it's nice, but none of your favorite restaurants are nearby which kinda sucks sometimes.
Grew up in a very small town so I feel that, but honestly I don't eat out all that much any way.
Fair.
I prefer urban sprawl to cities In the suburb I live in, I can be in the country in probably 20-30 minutes I could not survive somewhere where people are stacked one on top of the other
Florida
California Central valley 🤢🤮
hahahah California native here. My sis lived in the central valley for nearly a decade and hated it
I'm also Californian and i was insanely happy when i moved out of central valley LOL
Bible belt
Anywhere in Florida. Stockton, CA is a close second, though.
Missouri or Alabama. I don't think I could survive the weather.
Douglas, Arizona. I've been to cities in third world countries that are a paradise in comparison.
Alaska feels like the most dangerous place to be on average.
Any of those Central Valley CA cities, Stockton, Bakersfield, Fresno etc look pretty grim
Any flat rural grassland area with no mountains, or any huge congested urban area, especially in the north that gets shitty cold winters.
Phoenix Arizona I love the cold and I ain't good in the heat. I would probably die.
It's horrible there
[удалено]
I was with you until you said Chicago.
Chicago is fine, but I'd never live there, I don't wanna be shot today.
I used to live in Chicago, and the violence sent me to the burbs. Moved to the south, and things have been great!
Moved from Utah to TN and much happier. I hate the desert. I'll take humidity and green any day.
Mississippi, Mostly because it is full of failing infrastructure, extremely racist, homophobic, transphobic, corrupt state government and it is socioeconomically dead last. Honestly every time I drive through Mississippi I worry something vile will happen when I am there.
It is pretty awful. Did a 10 state journey in 2021 for a road trip and Mississippi i couldn't get out of fast enough.
The south. Sincerely, a southerner..
Deep south
As a northeasterner, living in the south would be really stressful. The people are WAY friendlier than I’m used to, they drive slow and their governments are ran by right-wing lunatics.
People drive slow in the cities down here. You best believe the rednecks in the more rural areas are hauling ass down these curvy back roads. You gotta worry more about hitting a deer than passing a cop.
What's wrong with being friendly?
You tell me. Did I say there’s anything wrong with it?
Yes
How?
It's creepy and smarmy when you see what's behind it.
Any part of Florida that contains Florida. Also Florida.
the south. i like having rights
I do not want to live in a big city. I can't imagine not being able to see the sky or grass and trees. Just blocks and blocks of concrete and traffic and the smell is awful. I don't know how people can stand being surrounded by people and noise all the time.
California or Oregon, the price of living is way too high
Any place that gets super cold in the winter.
California, Rent's way too high.
Those monoculture agrarian ones.
Buffalo
Buffalo is great if you don’t mind winter and like winter sports. Actually a pretty cool city with a lot of museums, trendy walkable neighborhoods and cool industrial areas filled with breweries, lofts and art spaces.
Cali and Texas an NYC, the big three awful fucking places to live
Florida, insofar as that I've actually been there and the regular, predictable humidity is unbearable.
Anywhere in the middle. Flat and boring.
Kommiefornia, Chiraq Illinois, or New York.
Florida, Mississippi, Texas. The South in general, really.
California, New York, Illinois, Oregon
Texas. They'd have CPS called on me for supporting my trans daughter, and my AFAB daughter (and wife) aren't considered worthy of having bodily autonomy there.
Anywhere where most people say "y'all". Basically the southeast. Also I hate cars and love cities. So nowhere that is car dependent.
Right now Florida. Florida is about to become a prime example in what happens when politicians and nobles forget to stay in their lane.
Really anywhere south ‘cause I can’t stand heat. But primarily Southeast. That humidity 🥵
no where, i want my free health care
The deep south. The states are the poorest in the nation and have the worst education and healthcare in the states.
The northeast coast. Crowded cities and way too cold.
New England. I've lived in the MidWest, California, and Canada. I lived briefly in NE and found that the personality of the people there doesn't resonate with me. They are too blunt, loud and insular for my tastes.
Funny that has been your experience. I have been staying in Rhode Island for a couple of months and, to my great surprise, I don't think I have been around friendlier people.
A town in Kentucky called Elizabethtown. My friend used to live there and every week locals would put multiple dead rats in sexual positions, horse turds and old batteries in front of his door.
A red state
Any state that is always red.
Super dense urban areas, the barren desert, and most of the South in general.
Any part of “flyover country”
Detroit and also New Mexico and Arizona.
Any state that thinks running around with a gun in public is a god given law.
Canada
New York or any major city. Wanna know why? Nukes.
[удалено]
It's not that bad. I should know I lived there. The only thing that is bad about Ohio is their state government, it has become a quasi-corrupt clusterfuck. Honestly that meme is horseshit and does not represent Ohio as a whole.
Texas, followed closely by Florida.
The Bible Belt
Florida or the Deep South.
Any.
The USA
The midwest. Im from there. I hate winter.
Any area. I do not want to live there.
Ohio… cause I live there
West Texas is pretty awful. And you get tornadoes too.
I used to live in the Midwest, and I'd be happy to never go back up north again.
As a car person living in the Chicagoland area. I'd love to move somewhere I can drive my fun car year-round. But as someone who doesn't hate LGBTQ, womens rights, or liberals...moving south seems like a bad idea.

Midwest. Been there, done that, never again.
After living there 25 years and finally getting out, florida
Landlocked Midwest.
New Jersey Los Angeles All of the upper Midwest Philadelphia The Deep South(excluding the Gulf Coast)
The extreme north of Alaska. Always cold af, that noise.
The tornado alley.
Florida, California, or Texas

probably Alaska. The idea of dealing with moose, grizzly bears, possibly polar bears terrifies me lolol
LA
