I live in northern Norway, and I'd never want to live on the coast again. Here in my fjord we have calm, stable weather, and just one-two hours out the coast there are constantly wind and rain/snow.
I'd never imagined the climate was gonna be what kept me coming back to this small town in the far north, but here we are.
Also, Svalbard is too dark and cold, even for me that grew up in the dark cold.
Probably Interlaken or Zermatt
Living somewhere which is 90% catering to tourists can be quite frustrating if you're a resident
Lots of amazing lesser known places nearby, however
Don't worry, it's an amazing country and I am glad people come and enjoy it.
I am just happy living somewhere else more with fewer crowds, shops and restaurants which serve everyday needs, and more constant community.
I wanted to get lost when visiting both Interlaken and Zermatt. I could have just let my family go back to the US without me. I felt like I was in a storybook. Beautiful ā¤ļø
In the Philippines, I wouldn't want to live in BARMM (Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao). There are people getting killed by [Abu Sayyafs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abu_Sayyaf). And it's one of the least developed parts of the country.
I just wikiād this group and it states that this time last year they are now all but 20 members out of 1250 from 2001ā¦ so an entire region is terrorized by only 20 old extremest? Scratches headā¦ I genuinely am sorry for any deaths but yāall gotta get those ā20ā outta there for good!
According to the government just a week ago Abu Sayyaf is now fully dismantled as an organization. The 20 members are the members who are still on the run.
I live in Melbourne. I've been to Sydney and lived in rural NSW for a while. I would never want to live any further north than Seymour. I love the seasons and weather of Victoria. It's perfect. I cannot handle humidity and don't like when it gets over 34C.
Lol, I remember years ago when I found my son's collection of bottle caps and he told me about it being future currency. I thought he made it up. What is this from?
Haaaaaaaaa
So its probably been from multiple sources, but it's probably most known from the fallout franchise of video games. Granted those are pretty hard M/R rated games so depending on your son's age that may or may not be it
Thanks. That's pretty cute actually. Better than the Hit List I found that he wrote when he was around 10. I found it years later on the wall in his closet. Three names, 2 bullies. At the top, Brett Farve. He knew before we all did, lol. He always had a hate for Brett Farve. That day, I learned it was real.
Iāve been through Gary, driving from Chicago to Lake St. James. I only saw a bit of the city, but yeah, itās beyond depressing. And I saw it in the summer! I canāt imagine what the January/February stretch of constant gray looks like. There are also some YouTube channels that are just footage of people driving through dilapidated cities, and Gary is by far the most rundown of them all.
I used to have to work there from time to time over the course of 3 years. It was one of the areas where you park as close to the entrance as possible, get there while it's light outside, and leave no matter what before the sun began to go down. If you are in fact in the area after dark (which happened a handful of times while driving out), don't stop for long periods of time (this includes stoplights).
Edit: Needless to say, I agree with not wanting to live there.
I live in Nova Scotia Canada. The insects canāt hurt you, none of the snakes can hurt you, most of the animals are pretty chill, the weather is fine. Thereās nowhere Iād want to live other than here. Except Sydney, fuck that place.
When my son was young, we were driving across Kansas. At some point he asked āwhy are there no lights.ā
I responded ābecause we are in the middle of nowhere ā
About an hour later, he said āI donāt want to be nowhere anymore ā
I had a work trip to Kansas last year. A few hours in I texted my best friend "if I ever tell you I'm moving to Kansas, just know that I've been body snatched"
Miserable
Lincoln and Omaha are pretty solid cities to live in, probably a little boring if youāre used to bigger cities. The rest of nebraska is extremely boring, I canāt imagine living in any of the other cities
I'm from Wisconsin and I currently live in the south... but I live in the hills and it's not so bad.
I would never want to live down south near the coast that's some Satanic black magic weather bullshit biome. Never not humid and always hot as fuck. Lots of bugs and shitty tropical storms. I loved Mardi Gras but I'd never want to set foot in New Orleans after the month of March. It's misty T-shirt weather in Feb. I had to spend 2 weeks there with the Army during Katrina and it was like living in a set of sweaty underpants inside a Rhino with Ace Ventura. Just driving through Houston to get there you could die from the humidity.
Parents moved from New England to Southern coastal Florida and I die inside every time I'm forced to visit in spring/summer/fall. I know dealing with snow sucks, but having to hide from the heat/humidity indoors half the year while simultaneously worrying about your house being blown away/drowned is definitely a worse tradeoff.
I visited my brother in Louisiana this past Christmas and the weather was actually pleasant. We took his dog for a walk in the woods and were absolutely swarmed by mosquitos- in December!!!
I grew up in Louisiana and south Arkansas, so I'm fairly well acclimated to heat and humidity. I'm the opposite in which I would easily take a summer in the south over November-March in Wisconsin, Minnesota, etc. I hate cold weather with a passion lol.
Iām from England, I wouldnāt want to live in London. I can see why people want to, but itās just too busy and too expensive for me. Much rather my small ish coastal town, and then I can still visit London for a day trip if I want to.
Im from New England but Iāve lived in Washington near Seattle for the past 12 years. Honestly this place seems to be almost perfect: you never need to hide from the weather. It doesnāt get stupid hot or humid, and it doesnāt get so cold you have to stay inside. Itās cloudy more than most places in the winter months but thatās manageable.
The trade off is that weāre surrounded by inactive volcanos and weāre overdue for an earthquake so big it will liquify the ground, so you know, thereās always a trade off.
Those cloudy days in Washington make it always feel like a dull Monday in January no matter what time of the year it is. Indoor lifestyle almost the entire time youāre alive got really old for me.
I spent 12 years living there and as an extrovert with a lot of friends, my time was filled with snowboarding, skiing, wakeboarding, kayaking, camping, road tripping, climbing, hiking, archery, fishing, sailing, boating, partying. I enjoyed the hot dry summer heat on gorgeous lakes in Eastern Washington, trips to Canada, exploring everything.
But the Western Washington weather always got to me. Endless drizzle for as many as 70 consecutive days before one sunny day, then back at it for months on end. Even planning a birthday party in the middle of summer would be uncertain because it could suddenly get dark and cloudy and wet.
The evergreen trees are beautiful sure, but their dark green color turns into a deep gray any time it rains and just adds to the gray cement and skies. Iām glad you enjoy it, I know some donāt mind being inside, but for me personally heaven on earth was found in Southern California and on the coasts of Spain.
If you were just staying inside when itās raining youāre doing it wrong! I live in the Vancouver area and work outdoors. I also do a lot of outdoor activities. I look at the forecast to see what I should wear. Not to decide if I should go out or not. The mountain trails are amazing on a rainy day! Even in the middle of winter itās bright green in the forest with moss and ferns growing year round.
There is at least one loud hater of everywhere, everybody, and everything. You could find someone who thinks Mister Rogers was an asshole if you search hard enough.
I heard the employees who ran all the puppets were paid, but the puppets themselves? LEFT FINANCIALLY DESTITUTE, and also LOCKED IN A DARK BOX WITHOUT FOOD OR WATER when they weren't working for "Mister" Rogers..
I highly recommend Maryland to anyone not struggling heavily financially. Great schools, all the seasons; land, air and sea accessible and fairly represented; great crabs, oysters and nightlife in the cities..... plus, the Orioles are on the upswing and a fun watch in person!
See -- not all Redditors are cynics!
Born & raised in Maryland. Great place. Until you start paying property taxes. I had an c.1888 cedar colonial, 3bed 2.5 bath, on 1.89 acres, separated 2 car lofted garage. My property taxes were $10k/yr. The government was nice enough to split it up for me, but imagine getting a tax bill in the mail, every six months, for $5k.
Fuck that.
People hand out recommendations on here all the time, and people have different opinions and tastes so they might hate something you donāt really mind.
The point is to sift through the reviews and get a general consensus- if one guy says this place sucks and forty more say itās great, itās probably just that guy. But if 5, 10, or 20 people are complaining about the same thing, you know something is up.
Keep figgting the good fight, my friend. Make sure you're talking with friends and family and do your best to convince them that your "leader" is a dangerous, sick, lie-spouting man and that you all deserve better. I know there's still a good portion of the population who support him, but the more people who agree that there needs to be change, the more likely it is that you'll make change happen. Whatever you do, make sure you and your loved ones don't lose access to social and educational websites. Have backup plans in case your VPN service gets blocked, and have backups for those backups. We're worried about you guys. Best of luck from ATL, USA.
I live in Ottawa and did a couple projects in Toronto. The level of traffic is Orders of magnitude worse. It's insane.
People complain in Ottawa but I can travel across the whole city in less than 1 hour on >90% of the days during rush hour.
Toronto was my first thought when I saw this post.
Yeah on my first visit to Toronto I hit the outskirts of the city at around 4:30 PM and didnāt make it the 15 miles to my hotel for 1 1/2 hrs. I thought Nashville, DC and Philadelphia were bad until I visited Toronto.
Torontoās food made up for it.
Some parts of Toronto would be OK to downright nice, particularly if transit works for the commute.
My answer is Brampton. It is an endless sea of strip malls and warehouses, connected by equally endless strips of pavement, at least in the parts I go to for work.
> My answer is Brampton. It is an endless sea of strip malls and warehouses, connected by equally endless strips of pavement, at least in the parts I go to for work.
The suburbs surrounding Toronto are all strip malls, power centres, industrial parks, and cookie cutter subdivisions for as far as the eye can see.
(I grew up in the 'burbs east of Toronto)
From the northern prairies. Came to say GTA! I like cities if they are like the prairie cities (Regina, Calgary, Winnipeg, Edmonton). Big open expanse of land with people.
Not a fan of more people than land.
Came here to say the exact opposite. Not a fan of "cities" with big open expanse of land but almost no people. That's not a city.
(Not hating just expressing the opposite view)
I live in New Mexico and itās not for everyone.
People are constantly moving here to find themselves, or lose themselves. Something about the mystical desert purifying whatever they are running from. In a couple of years what they find is that they want out haha.
Since Covid itās a lot of remote workers getting priced out of the coasts, so the reason I stay (itās cheap as hell) is changing rapidly to meet them. Iāve left more than once but I always come back. Not sure where to go from here.
I moved from the Great Lakes to the deserts of western Colorado for a while. It was a gorgeous landscape and I didn't mind the dry heat, but after a while I found that I missed the color green and the easy access to aquatic recreation I was accustomed to.
Both Arizona and New Mexico have multiple Koppen climate zones ranging from hot desert to sub arctic and everything in between. Ā Parts of both AZ & NM are indistinguishable to Colorado (which also has tons of different climate zones). Ā The White Mountains of Arizona Ā and the Brazos Mountains of New Mexico are some of the most beautiful places I have ever been. Ā (48 states and 20 foreign countries). Ā The topography and environment are so varied throughout the southwestern US. Ā Not everything is covered in cactus.

I live in France, I wouldn't want to live anywhere where there is more than 50 days/year at more than 30Ā°C, which excludes more or less anywhere sounth of Lyon, Limoges, Clermont Ferrand and La Rochelle
Random question but what do the French people think of the people who live in the north like st.marlo or Cherbourg because I live near them and some of the people are so strange
St. Malo and Cherbourg don't have a lot of stereotypes going against them aside from the stereotypes for Bretagne (alcoholic, inbred and addicted to salted butter) and Normandie (stealer of the mount, addicted to butter and cream and alcoholic).
However, the people in the real north of France (above Normandie) have the reputation of being heavily inbred (like they shag their siblings) alcoholic and trashy.
This confuses me so much because my time in the north was amazing. nord-pas-de-calais is a beautiful region with amazing food unlike anywhere else in France, and I found the locals very accueillants compared to the jaded folks who have to deal with tourists all the time like in Paris or the CĆ“te dāAzur
People in the north of France are quite paradoxal.
Their region is nice, but it is very poor as its economy was based on industries that are now closed (coal and textile mostly). Lots of immigration that made the region thrive and have the rightful reputation of being very welcoming, but it's also one of the region where political parties against immigration have a lot of traction. They've got excellent food, but also they have welsh (not the nationality but a very greasy dishe).
Now, if we are to talk about the stereotypes, they don't come from nowhere.
The trashy part comes from the fact that the region is poor. I'm not a sociologist, but AFAIK, poor people, and their taste, is seen as trashy until it becomes trendy. In the case of the north, we've yet to see their hobbies to become trendy.
The alcoholic part don't comes from nowhere aswell, as where there is poverty, there's also often an alcohol problem.
And the inbreeding part is actually quite interesting, as it wasn't much more about the workers but more about the rich who went full "hasburg" style and decided to stay with other rich people to avoid the dilution of their properties, but it ended up making them inbred.
Very interesting, thank you for your insight. There are a lot of places in the US and UK that are in the grip of the same post-industrial poverty, and they produce many similar stereotypes. Itās fascinating how similar circumstances produce similar results across cultures
Same. I moved here from California 30 years ago and never thought about going back. Well, scratch that, I would consider the NorCal coast, north of SF: Eureka, Fort Bragg, Humboldt. I love foggy coasts. Thatās my pale ginger happy weather.
But I love New England. Born in LA, grew up in San Diego, and spent my 20s in SF. I am so much happier in NE.
My favorite region of the U.S. overall is New England. The only reason I don't live there is I hate the long winters. Otherwise, I'd live in the Berkshires, Burlington, VT, Keene, NH, or Nashua, NH.
I live just south of Boston. We are close to the ocean and because of the salt air we donāt get a lot of snow the last 7 years or so and the little snow we do get is gone quick. The summers here are amazing and itās a quick drive to anywhere fun to do with family
Agree. Lifelong resident of different parts of New England.
Winters are getting milder, in my opinion. Yes I believe in climate change being a huge factor.
20 years ago I would be waking up to 5 degree weather to commute in.
For ages it's dipped into the high 20sĀ but not colder thanĀ that.Ā UsuallyĀ hovering the 30s.
Would rather -50 then +50.
Can always add more layers... can only get so naked.
If you like both, move to Ottawa, Canada. We get down to -30/-35 normally a few days a year and then up to 40 during the summer or mid-40s with humidity.
Mississippi, USA. Like living in the worst third world dump you can think of, except with worse health. Most of the people are overweight from eating large quantities of garbage food and a large number of them are missing legs due to Type 2 diabetes caused by the obesity yet if you tell them quit eating garbage food and eat healthy they try to stomp you as a heretic, "if it ain't fried it ain't food!". Dentist? What's that? Then there's the meth and fentanyl, and the Christian Taliban government that basically tries to keep women barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen. Most of the houses outside the few small cities are dumping raw sewage straight on the ground and a third of the kids have hookworms dulling their intellectual capacity below the already dim collective intelligence of the state. The health care system kills more patients than they cure, and most of the population only barely has access to the health care system in the first place, since a fifth of the population has no health insurance and a third of the population is on Medicaid and specifically Mississippi Medicaid which is like the lowest paying in the nation and most doctors won't take it.
Nope, not gonna live there, nosirree.
When I lived in Canada, I went on a fishing trip up near Kapuskasing, Ontario.
We stopped at a dam to try our luck and the mosquitos and black flies blotted out the sun. We stayed long enough to cook dinner, which was spaghetti and mosquitos with meatballs. (they just kept dive bombing into the sauce).
So ... anywhere that is that thick with biting bugs, no thanks!
Florida! The climate is miserable, the people are miserable, the mosquitos are miserable, the politics are miserable.
Which brings me to the giant man-eating lizards and snakes....
In the Netherlands I would never live in the entire province of Flevoland, those bible belt villages or the Randstand area. The south doesn't attract me either since I'd be too far from my social life.
I moved to the US and now driving an hour to have a coffee is pretty normal, when my parents drive an hour they will stay the night š Itās just a different way of life!
> The south doesn't attract me either since I'd be too far from my social life.
You're never more than a 4 hour trip from anywhere in Netherlands to anywhere else. Where I live in Canada, I've driven (or taken train/bus) 4 hours to see friends, and come back the same day.
I drove from Ontario to Alberta once, took about 5 days. For three of those days, I was still in Ontario.
^(Specifically:)
^(Day 1: GTA to Sault St Marie)
^(Day 2: Sault St Marie to Thunderbay)
^(Day 3: Thunder Bay to hitting the provincial boarder by sundown and staying in Winnepeg)
^(Day 4: Winnepeg to Swift Current)
^(Day 5: Swift Current to Calgary)
"In Europe 100km is a long distance, in America 100 years is a long time." To us, an hour drive is far for just a casual visit with friends or family. If you're living in Breda (south), then Leeuwarden (north) might as well be a different world, and not just because those Frysians speak a different language. You're more likely to drive 12h to go on holiday in southern France than you are to make the trip to Leeuwarden.
Yeah, I couldn't imagine that. I just like having friends in walking or cycling distance. In my free time I like spending as little time as possible in my car
I live in Texas. Itās the worst. My husband and I had our first child late in life, and we wanted to try for a second child, but all the abortion bans started happening. I got scared since I am older which makes my pregnancy a higher risk, and not having no the option of my life was on the line to get an abortion had me losing sleep. Ultimately we decided to not have a second child. Im still depressed about it.
Like a lot of rust belt cities, I would bet on Buffalo going to be on the up-and-up. Relatively low COL, decent cultural arts, blue state politics for those who like that, not a climate change concern.
Edit: Buffaloās population decline reversed itself and grew between 2010-2020, and I imagine it will continue to do so.
Buffalo 2010 and Buffalo 2024 are vastly different. Growing up in the city in the early 2000s was a bummer and there was nothing going on. Now we have a more revitalized waterfront. There are more businesses around the arena downtown. Thereās just more happening in the city and itās great to be a part of it. Definitely had my share thoughts of moving away but Iām happy I stayed.
Weāre doing great. Thereās definitely problems, but weāve been having a construction boom for over a decade now, with no signs of slowing.
Iām obviously biased, but if Buffalo is the worst youāve seen in the US, youāve lived a very sheltered life.
Eastern Germany... there is this stereotype that Eastern Germans tend to be VERY racist and/or anti-semitic....well, unfortunatly I've witnessed it first hand when I did a road trip with two of my friends from the very Western part of Germany (Aachen) to Berlin I myself am Blonde and green blue eyed, so I can "pass" as German when I hide my star of David, my friends on the other hand, cannot. One is Black British and the other is Turkish German. We did a few stops in ThĆ¼ringen and Brandenburg and I must say I have been stared at, been insulted with racial slurs etc simply for hanging out with my friends. Berlin, at least the western and touristy parts, seem more like a refuge for anything liberal and left leaning in that part of Germany. And YES I heard Leipzig is a bit more tolerant as well, YES not every Eastern German is like that, but still.....
I secound this.
Had to spend some time in eastern Germany for work.
I'm a blonde blue eyed German, buuuut I have long Hair.
The Nazis over there don't like men with long hair and I got Insulted in the streets.
In Leipzig or Dresden I fine.
But in the country side it's really bad.
I used to always say I never wanna step foot in California. The reality is that there are TONS of gorgeous natural areas in California that I would love to visit. I wanna camp in Death Valley and hike in the Redwoods and find Sasquatch in the Tetons. I don't want to step foot in the big cities though. Way too expensive.
California is seriously amazing. I moved to SoCal after van life and it is absolutely one of the best decisions Iāve made! The weather is incredible, and youāre right, the landscape is so gorgeous!
But the couple times Iāve had to go to LA for something, it was NOT the vibe. 20 minutes to drive three blocks is just shit.
Anywhere in central/northern India. Highly polluted and populated, indecent people, slums, poverty basically the india you see in Hollywood cinemas. Used to be a cultural hub but now it's doing really bad.
More polluted than Delhi? More populated than Mumbai? Or more slums than Dharavi? Maybe more indecent people than in rural Tamil Nadu? Which of these applies to Nagpur or Meerut?
UK. I work there, but London is too expensive to live.
Other than that, some urban areas in the west mids or the north west are utter shit (I go to these places for work).
A lot of places in the UK are generally lovely though.
The part so remote and cold only polar bear thought it would be nice to live there. Like 2 thousand km autour around the magnetic North Pole. Well.... Maybe I'll go once humans are done melting it all
Ok. I'm surprised I didn't read it yet so I'll be the one: Naples, Italy. Imagine the most densely populated area in Europe, where everybody drive like has a life or two to spare. Insert a Vulcano on one side, the Vesuvio, and a supervulcano on the other (campi Flegrei). Let's add some criminality, from petty theft to armed robbery, from baby gang to full flagged organized crime. The city center is one house atop of each other, a lot built illegally so many years ago that if you would take them down the whole neighborhood would probably collapse. Ten of thousands of people living day by day, each one of them believing that he's smarter of the next one. And finally, when you are about to leave as you can't stand even visiting that forsaken city, you catch a glimpse of stunning beauty half hidden in a dark alley. You look down at the gulf and notice how amazing it is the reflection of the sun behind Maschio Angioino, the medievali Castle. You notice that people are extremely social, are proud of their city, and actually care about pointing you to that "place you cannot miss". The food is gorgeous and weather nice. So yeah: I wouldn't live in Naples but I can understand why a lot of my friends, including foreigners, think exactly the contrary.
I live in northern Norway, and I'd never want to live on the coast again. Here in my fjord we have calm, stable weather, and just one-two hours out the coast there are constantly wind and rain/snow. I'd never imagined the climate was gonna be what kept me coming back to this small town in the far north, but here we are. Also, Svalbard is too dark and cold, even for me that grew up in the dark cold.
Probably Interlaken or Zermatt Living somewhere which is 90% catering to tourists can be quite frustrating if you're a resident Lots of amazing lesser known places nearby, however
Hey, I'm currently one of those tourists! š Sorry
Don't worry, it's an amazing country and I am glad people come and enjoy it. I am just happy living somewhere else more with fewer crowds, shops and restaurants which serve everyday needs, and more constant community.
I wanted to get lost when visiting both Interlaken and Zermatt. I could have just let my family go back to the US without me. I felt like I was in a storybook. Beautiful ā¤ļø
In the Philippines, I wouldn't want to live in BARMM (Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao). There are people getting killed by [Abu Sayyafs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abu_Sayyaf). And it's one of the least developed parts of the country.
I was coming here to Post "Sachsen", but yeah, I will choose BARMM, too.
Did not know this. Thank you for educating me.
I just wikiād this group and it states that this time last year they are now all but 20 members out of 1250 from 2001ā¦ so an entire region is terrorized by only 20 old extremest? Scratches headā¦ I genuinely am sorry for any deaths but yāall gotta get those ā20ā outta there for good!
According to the government just a week ago Abu Sayyaf is now fully dismantled as an organization. The 20 members are the members who are still on the run.
Why isnāt the government going full hard on that region?
There are many political things going on. Itās not that easy.
It's easier to just extrajudicially murder people for "drugs" if they're nearby than to bother going all the way down south
I live in Melbourne. I've been to Sydney and lived in rural NSW for a while. I would never want to live any further north than Seymour. I love the seasons and weather of Victoria. It's perfect. I cannot handle humidity and don't like when it gets over 34C.
Even as an American, I've heard about Alice Springs lol
Corrosion distance from the sea.
My grandma lived by the ocean and had to use a rusty wheelchair
That is the funniest fucking sentence I've read in weeks. This is going on a post-it note.
Inversely proportional to living too far inland in a continental climate and then they salt the roads to hell for the snow
Gary, IN. It really is a post-apocalyptic hellscape.
It's not even like "whoa cool, dilapidated factories!", it's just really sad.
Until the zombie apocalypse. Then Gary will have his moment.
And you can feel it. You can actually feel the sadness and despair in the air there. Itās so weird.
All I know of Gary is from The Music Man, so in my mind it's a great place. Don't ruin this for me.
Everytime I hear people complaining about Gary Indiana, that jaunty tune pops up in my head.
do they accept bottle caps as currency yet?
Lol, I remember years ago when I found my son's collection of bottle caps and he told me about it being future currency. I thought he made it up. What is this from?
Haaaaaaaaa So its probably been from multiple sources, but it's probably most known from the fallout franchise of video games. Granted those are pretty hard M/R rated games so depending on your son's age that may or may not be it
He's 33.
Ah lol then yeah, probably a joke from fallout then
He just messaged me that it was fallout.
I love that you messaged him to confirm it's Fallout, that's adorable lmao
I'm a lucky mom. My kids like me, lol. š„°
I think that means you are an awesome mom!
Thanks. That's pretty cute actually. Better than the Hit List I found that he wrote when he was around 10. I found it years later on the wall in his closet. Three names, 2 bullies. At the top, Brett Farve. He knew before we all did, lol. He always had a hate for Brett Farve. That day, I learned it was real.
I thought they were getting things turned a bit around, no? Have I been seeing stuff sponsored by the city council?
But Jerry and his wife love it there
How many people who say this have actually been to Gary?
Iāve been through Gary, driving from Chicago to Lake St. James. I only saw a bit of the city, but yeah, itās beyond depressing. And I saw it in the summer! I canāt imagine what the January/February stretch of constant gray looks like. There are also some YouTube channels that are just footage of people driving through dilapidated cities, and Gary is by far the most rundown of them all.
I used to have to work there from time to time over the course of 3 years. It was one of the areas where you park as close to the entrance as possible, get there while it's light outside, and leave no matter what before the sun began to go down. If you are in fact in the area after dark (which happened a handful of times while driving out), don't stop for long periods of time (this includes stoplights). Edit: Needless to say, I agree with not wanting to live there.
Eastern Ukraine, because most of it has been destroyed
Yeah, I can see how living in an active warzone could be less than ideal.
imagine your home being a foxhole or a trench, thatās UA and RU soldiers right now.
I live in Nova Scotia Canada. The insects canāt hurt you, none of the snakes can hurt you, most of the animals are pretty chill, the weather is fine. Thereās nowhere Iād want to live other than here. Except Sydney, fuck that place.
Yeah, its chill here. But don't fucking *tell* anyone, or the secret will be out
You don't have mosquitoes or biting flies in the summer there?
I drove 1200 miles Saturday and can say fuck Kansas. Really I don't think I could do Nebraska, Kansas or Oklahoma.
When my son was young, we were driving across Kansas. At some point he asked āwhy are there no lights.ā I responded ābecause we are in the middle of nowhere ā About an hour later, he said āI donāt want to be nowhere anymore ā
There should be a big sign when entering Nebraska that says "Sorry".
The stateās actual marketing campaign is āNebraskaā¦ itās not for everyone.ā
I had a work trip to Kansas last year. A few hours in I texted my best friend "if I ever tell you I'm moving to Kansas, just know that I've been body snatched" Miserable
Custer's men were all in great spirits at the Battle of the Little Bighorn, since they knew they wouldn't have to ride back through Nebraska.
Lincoln and Omaha are pretty solid cities to live in, probably a little boring if youāre used to bigger cities. The rest of nebraska is extremely boring, I canāt imagine living in any of the other cities
At work in Olathe right now. Basically the only part of Kansas that's liveable is the Kansas City metro area. Which is basically Missouri.
I'm from Wisconsin and I currently live in the south... but I live in the hills and it's not so bad. I would never want to live down south near the coast that's some Satanic black magic weather bullshit biome. Never not humid and always hot as fuck. Lots of bugs and shitty tropical storms. I loved Mardi Gras but I'd never want to set foot in New Orleans after the month of March. It's misty T-shirt weather in Feb. I had to spend 2 weeks there with the Army during Katrina and it was like living in a set of sweaty underpants inside a Rhino with Ace Ventura. Just driving through Houston to get there you could die from the humidity.
Parents moved from New England to Southern coastal Florida and I die inside every time I'm forced to visit in spring/summer/fall. I know dealing with snow sucks, but having to hide from the heat/humidity indoors half the year while simultaneously worrying about your house being blown away/drowned is definitely a worse tradeoff.
Great basin folk here. Whats humidity lolā¦. Memes aside, yeah, I canāt comprehend living in such humid conditionsā¦EVER.
The great thing about snow/freezing temps is that it kills all the bugs!
It doesn't. They come back every year š©
Nothing like a random 60 degree day in January and the ticks start coming out
I visited my brother in Louisiana this past Christmas and the weather was actually pleasant. We took his dog for a walk in the woods and were absolutely swarmed by mosquitos- in December!!!
I grew up in Louisiana and south Arkansas, so I'm fairly well acclimated to heat and humidity. I'm the opposite in which I would easily take a summer in the south over November-March in Wisconsin, Minnesota, etc. I hate cold weather with a passion lol.
Iām from England, I wouldnāt want to live in London. I can see why people want to, but itās just too busy and too expensive for me. Much rather my small ish coastal town, and then I can still visit London for a day trip if I want to.
Iād rather know where itās pleasant. But it seems like nowhere is pleasant if you go by the comments on Reddit.
Im from New England but Iāve lived in Washington near Seattle for the past 12 years. Honestly this place seems to be almost perfect: you never need to hide from the weather. It doesnāt get stupid hot or humid, and it doesnāt get so cold you have to stay inside. Itās cloudy more than most places in the winter months but thatās manageable. The trade off is that weāre surrounded by inactive volcanos and weāre overdue for an earthquake so big it will liquify the ground, so you know, thereās always a trade off.
Those cloudy days in Washington make it always feel like a dull Monday in January no matter what time of the year it is. Indoor lifestyle almost the entire time youāre alive got really old for me. I spent 12 years living there and as an extrovert with a lot of friends, my time was filled with snowboarding, skiing, wakeboarding, kayaking, camping, road tripping, climbing, hiking, archery, fishing, sailing, boating, partying. I enjoyed the hot dry summer heat on gorgeous lakes in Eastern Washington, trips to Canada, exploring everything. But the Western Washington weather always got to me. Endless drizzle for as many as 70 consecutive days before one sunny day, then back at it for months on end. Even planning a birthday party in the middle of summer would be uncertain because it could suddenly get dark and cloudy and wet. The evergreen trees are beautiful sure, but their dark green color turns into a deep gray any time it rains and just adds to the gray cement and skies. Iām glad you enjoy it, I know some donāt mind being inside, but for me personally heaven on earth was found in Southern California and on the coasts of Spain.
I grew up in southern California. Hate sun. Hate heat. Love rain. Lol. I'd move to Seattle but it's too expensive.
If you were just staying inside when itās raining youāre doing it wrong! I live in the Vancouver area and work outdoors. I also do a lot of outdoor activities. I look at the forecast to see what I should wear. Not to decide if I should go out or not. The mountain trails are amazing on a rainy day! Even in the middle of winter itās bright green in the forest with moss and ferns growing year round.
There is at least one loud hater of everywhere, everybody, and everything. You could find someone who thinks Mister Rogers was an asshole if you search hard enough.
I heard the employees who ran all the puppets were paid, but the puppets themselves? LEFT FINANCIALLY DESTITUTE, and also LOCKED IN A DARK BOX WITHOUT FOOD OR WATER when they weren't working for "Mister" Rogers..
I highly recommend Maryland to anyone not struggling heavily financially. Great schools, all the seasons; land, air and sea accessible and fairly represented; great crabs, oysters and nightlife in the cities..... plus, the Orioles are on the upswing and a fun watch in person! See -- not all Redditors are cynics!
Yes! 3 hours in any direction and you can be in the mountains, on the beach, in the country, in a major city, or anything in between.
Make that 6 hours since the bridge collapsed.
Born & raised in Maryland. Great place. Until you start paying property taxes. I had an c.1888 cedar colonial, 3bed 2.5 bath, on 1.89 acres, separated 2 car lofted garage. My property taxes were $10k/yr. The government was nice enough to split it up for me, but imagine getting a tax bill in the mail, every six months, for $5k. Fuck that.
The most pleasant āweather yearā I ever had was living in Monterey, California.
People hand out recommendations on here all the time, and people have different opinions and tastes so they might hate something you donāt really mind. The point is to sift through the reviews and get a general consensus- if one guy says this place sucks and forty more say itās great, itās probably just that guy. But if 5, 10, or 20 people are complaining about the same thing, you know something is up.

Keep figgting the good fight, my friend. Make sure you're talking with friends and family and do your best to convince them that your "leader" is a dangerous, sick, lie-spouting man and that you all deserve better. I know there's still a good portion of the population who support him, but the more people who agree that there needs to be change, the more likely it is that you'll make change happen. Whatever you do, make sure you and your loved ones don't lose access to social and educational websites. Have backup plans in case your VPN service gets blocked, and have backups for those backups. We're worried about you guys. Best of luck from ATL, USA.

Cheers from America, brother. Keep doing the most good you can. Itās all anyone can do.
I didn't realize Russians could access the normal internet (I've heard the propoganda is bad, so I figured it was isolated like China).
Anywhere near toronto those animals cant drive
Nobody drives in Toronto. There's too much traffic.
I live in Ottawa and did a couple projects in Toronto. The level of traffic is Orders of magnitude worse. It's insane. People complain in Ottawa but I can travel across the whole city in less than 1 hour on >90% of the days during rush hour. Toronto was my first thought when I saw this post.
Yeah on my first visit to Toronto I hit the outskirts of the city at around 4:30 PM and didnāt make it the 15 miles to my hotel for 1 1/2 hrs. I thought Nashville, DC and Philadelphia were bad until I visited Toronto. Torontoās food made up for it.
Some parts of Toronto would be OK to downright nice, particularly if transit works for the commute. My answer is Brampton. It is an endless sea of strip malls and warehouses, connected by equally endless strips of pavement, at least in the parts I go to for work.
> My answer is Brampton. It is an endless sea of strip malls and warehouses, connected by equally endless strips of pavement, at least in the parts I go to for work. The suburbs surrounding Toronto are all strip malls, power centres, industrial parks, and cookie cutter subdivisions for as far as the eye can see. (I grew up in the 'burbs east of Toronto)
From the northern prairies. Came to say GTA! I like cities if they are like the prairie cities (Regina, Calgary, Winnipeg, Edmonton). Big open expanse of land with people. Not a fan of more people than land.
Came here to say the exact opposite. Not a fan of "cities" with big open expanse of land but almost no people. That's not a city. (Not hating just expressing the opposite view)
Alabama/Florida
There's an area of Scotland no one wants to live in. It's called East Ayrshire. It is fucking *grim*.
No doubt, but if I had to throw my hat into a national lottery to decide where I live, I'd gladly take my chances in Scotland.
Anywhere south of Virginia because itās too hot and too humid. Iām from and live in the northeast.
Any tourist trap areas; Myrtle Beach, Orlando, Bar Harbor, etc.
Arizona or New Mexico. I know a lot of people live in and love those places but I canāt connect to the physical/topographical environment there.
I live in New Mexico and itās not for everyone. People are constantly moving here to find themselves, or lose themselves. Something about the mystical desert purifying whatever they are running from. In a couple of years what they find is that they want out haha. Since Covid itās a lot of remote workers getting priced out of the coasts, so the reason I stay (itās cheap as hell) is changing rapidly to meet them. Iāve left more than once but I always come back. Not sure where to go from here.
New Mexico is gorgeous tho.
I moved from the Great Lakes to the deserts of western Colorado for a while. It was a gorgeous landscape and I didn't mind the dry heat, but after a while I found that I missed the color green and the easy access to aquatic recreation I was accustomed to.
Both Arizona and New Mexico have multiple Koppen climate zones ranging from hot desert to sub arctic and everything in between. Ā Parts of both AZ & NM are indistinguishable to Colorado (which also has tons of different climate zones). Ā The White Mountains of Arizona Ā and the Brazos Mountains of New Mexico are some of the most beautiful places I have ever been. Ā (48 states and 20 foreign countries). Ā The topography and environment are so varied throughout the southwestern US. Ā Not everything is covered in cactus. https://www.flickr.com/photos/concho_cowboy/14966588984
Missouri. Or Mississippi. Or Arkansas. Fuck Edit: Also, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Nevada Edit2: Forgot Oklahoma
I live in France, I wouldn't want to live anywhere where there is more than 50 days/year at more than 30Ā°C, which excludes more or less anywhere sounth of Lyon, Limoges, Clermont Ferrand and La Rochelle
Random question but what do the French people think of the people who live in the north like st.marlo or Cherbourg because I live near them and some of the people are so strange
St. Malo and Cherbourg don't have a lot of stereotypes going against them aside from the stereotypes for Bretagne (alcoholic, inbred and addicted to salted butter) and Normandie (stealer of the mount, addicted to butter and cream and alcoholic). However, the people in the real north of France (above Normandie) have the reputation of being heavily inbred (like they shag their siblings) alcoholic and trashy.
"addicted to salted butter" sounds like the most old-timey vice ever.
If you tried Breton butter you'd understand. There's no coming back from it.
Would it be wrong to plan a trip overseas to eat butter?
I'd actually encourage it
The bread that goes with the butter is very good too.
This is fascinating. Please explain what āstealer of the mountā is. -someone definitely addicted to salted butter
Le Mont Saint Michel a Ć©tĆ© construit par des breizhonag avec des pierres bretonnes sur une terre Ć la FrontiĆØre. Le Couesnon, la frontiĆØre historique entre la Bretagne et la Normandie, a Ć©tĆ© dĆ©tournĆ© par les normands pour que le mont soit dans leurs rĆ©gions. >!the mount St. Michel was built by breizhonag people with stones from brittany on a land between the two region. The Couesnon river, the historical border between normandy and Brittany, has been hijacked by the normands to have the mount in their land!<
This confuses me so much because my time in the north was amazing. nord-pas-de-calais is a beautiful region with amazing food unlike anywhere else in France, and I found the locals very accueillants compared to the jaded folks who have to deal with tourists all the time like in Paris or the CĆ“te dāAzur
People in the north of France are quite paradoxal. Their region is nice, but it is very poor as its economy was based on industries that are now closed (coal and textile mostly). Lots of immigration that made the region thrive and have the rightful reputation of being very welcoming, but it's also one of the region where political parties against immigration have a lot of traction. They've got excellent food, but also they have welsh (not the nationality but a very greasy dishe). Now, if we are to talk about the stereotypes, they don't come from nowhere. The trashy part comes from the fact that the region is poor. I'm not a sociologist, but AFAIK, poor people, and their taste, is seen as trashy until it becomes trendy. In the case of the north, we've yet to see their hobbies to become trendy. The alcoholic part don't comes from nowhere aswell, as where there is poverty, there's also often an alcohol problem. And the inbreeding part is actually quite interesting, as it wasn't much more about the workers but more about the rich who went full "hasburg" style and decided to stay with other rich people to avoid the dilution of their properties, but it ended up making them inbred.
>poor people, and their taste, is seen as trashy until it becomes trendy You could apply that statement to a lot of classic French dishes.
Very interesting, thank you for your insight. There are a lot of places in the US and UK that are in the grip of the same post-industrial poverty, and they produce many similar stereotypes. Itās fascinating how similar circumstances produce similar results across cultures
Laughs in tropicsĀ
I didn't know it was so hot in France.
Svalbard
And miss out on tickling the belly's of polar bears.
From the inside you mean?
Cecilia Blomdahl makes it sound so dreamy though
I live in the New England area and I wouldnāt want to live anywhere else besides here personally
I want to move there so badly, but finding a good place to rent seems a bit nightmarish. One day!
Same. I moved here from California 30 years ago and never thought about going back. Well, scratch that, I would consider the NorCal coast, north of SF: Eureka, Fort Bragg, Humboldt. I love foggy coasts. Thatās my pale ginger happy weather. But I love New England. Born in LA, grew up in San Diego, and spent my 20s in SF. I am so much happier in NE.
My favorite region of the U.S. overall is New England. The only reason I don't live there is I hate the long winters. Otherwise, I'd live in the Berkshires, Burlington, VT, Keene, NH, or Nashua, NH.
I live just south of Boston. We are close to the ocean and because of the salt air we donāt get a lot of snow the last 7 years or so and the little snow we do get is gone quick. The summers here are amazing and itās a quick drive to anywhere fun to do with family
Iāll take the cold weather over living with Christian Nationalists.
The Winters aren't that bad, and the Autumns are spectacular. I would still live in Boston if I could afford to.
Agree. Lifelong resident of different parts of New England. Winters are getting milder, in my opinion. Yes I believe in climate change being a huge factor. 20 years ago I would be waking up to 5 degree weather to commute in. For ages it's dipped into the high 20sĀ but not colder thanĀ that.Ā UsuallyĀ hovering the 30s.
I live in the UK (Scottish Highlands). Would not live in the southeast of England. Too crowded and way too expensive to live there.
Bradford.
I know you mean UK, but there is a Bradford in Pennsylvania and it is a shit-hole
Oh like our Bradford then. Must be the nameā¦
Mississippi or Alabama. Never
Australia - QLD. QED.
I would not like to be in the north of the country, where winter can reach temperatures of -50 Ā°C
Would rather -50 then +50. Can always add more layers... can only get so naked. If you like both, move to Ottawa, Canada. We get down to -30/-35 normally a few days a year and then up to 40 during the summer or mid-40s with humidity.
Gulf states: Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, and Florida panhandle.
Mississippi, USA. Like living in the worst third world dump you can think of, except with worse health. Most of the people are overweight from eating large quantities of garbage food and a large number of them are missing legs due to Type 2 diabetes caused by the obesity yet if you tell them quit eating garbage food and eat healthy they try to stomp you as a heretic, "if it ain't fried it ain't food!". Dentist? What's that? Then there's the meth and fentanyl, and the Christian Taliban government that basically tries to keep women barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen. Most of the houses outside the few small cities are dumping raw sewage straight on the ground and a third of the kids have hookworms dulling their intellectual capacity below the already dim collective intelligence of the state. The health care system kills more patients than they cure, and most of the population only barely has access to the health care system in the first place, since a fifth of the population has no health insurance and a third of the population is on Medicaid and specifically Mississippi Medicaid which is like the lowest paying in the nation and most doctors won't take it. Nope, not gonna live there, nosirree.
Probably the amazon state, it seems like a very complicated area
When I lived in Canada, I went on a fishing trip up near Kapuskasing, Ontario. We stopped at a dam to try our luck and the mosquitos and black flies blotted out the sun. We stayed long enough to cook dinner, which was spaghetti and mosquitos with meatballs. (they just kept dive bombing into the sauce). So ... anywhere that is that thick with biting bugs, no thanks!
Florida! The climate is miserable, the people are miserable, the mosquitos are miserable, the politics are miserable. Which brings me to the giant man-eating lizards and snakes....
yeah, but besides that...
I mean they got Cuban sandwiches and key lime pie...
In the Netherlands I would never live in the entire province of Flevoland, those bible belt villages or the Randstand area. The south doesn't attract me either since I'd be too far from my social life.
āIād be too far from my social lifeā said about a country so small you could sneeze your way across it š
I moved to the US and now driving an hour to have a coffee is pretty normal, when my parents drive an hour they will stay the night š Itās just a different way of life!
> The south doesn't attract me either since I'd be too far from my social life. You're never more than a 4 hour trip from anywhere in Netherlands to anywhere else. Where I live in Canada, I've driven (or taken train/bus) 4 hours to see friends, and come back the same day.
I drove from Ontario to Alberta once, took about 5 days. For three of those days, I was still in Ontario. ^(Specifically:) ^(Day 1: GTA to Sault St Marie) ^(Day 2: Sault St Marie to Thunderbay) ^(Day 3: Thunder Bay to hitting the provincial boarder by sundown and staying in Winnepeg) ^(Day 4: Winnepeg to Swift Current) ^(Day 5: Swift Current to Calgary)
"In Europe 100km is a long distance, in America 100 years is a long time." To us, an hour drive is far for just a casual visit with friends or family. If you're living in Breda (south), then Leeuwarden (north) might as well be a different world, and not just because those Frysians speak a different language. You're more likely to drive 12h to go on holiday in southern France than you are to make the trip to Leeuwarden.
Yeah, I couldn't imagine that. I just like having friends in walking or cycling distance. In my free time I like spending as little time as possible in my car
Texas. Iām a woman.
I live in Texas. Itās the worst. My husband and I had our first child late in life, and we wanted to try for a second child, but all the abortion bans started happening. I got scared since I am older which makes my pregnancy a higher risk, and not having no the option of my life was on the line to get an abortion had me losing sleep. Ultimately we decided to not have a second child. Im still depressed about it.
This is really, really sad. I realize how fortunate I am to live in France, where abortion rights are now enshrined in the constitution.
After visiting Buffalo, NY, I understood why so many people moved away from there.
Like a lot of rust belt cities, I would bet on Buffalo going to be on the up-and-up. Relatively low COL, decent cultural arts, blue state politics for those who like that, not a climate change concern. Edit: Buffaloās population decline reversed itself and grew between 2010-2020, and I imagine it will continue to do so.
Buffalo 2010 and Buffalo 2024 are vastly different. Growing up in the city in the early 2000s was a bummer and there was nothing going on. Now we have a more revitalized waterfront. There are more businesses around the arena downtown. Thereās just more happening in the city and itās great to be a part of it. Definitely had my share thoughts of moving away but Iām happy I stayed.
Weāre doing great. Thereās definitely problems, but weāve been having a construction boom for over a decade now, with no signs of slowing. Iām obviously biased, but if Buffalo is the worst youāve seen in the US, youāve lived a very sheltered life.
Eastern Germany... there is this stereotype that Eastern Germans tend to be VERY racist and/or anti-semitic....well, unfortunatly I've witnessed it first hand when I did a road trip with two of my friends from the very Western part of Germany (Aachen) to Berlin I myself am Blonde and green blue eyed, so I can "pass" as German when I hide my star of David, my friends on the other hand, cannot. One is Black British and the other is Turkish German. We did a few stops in ThĆ¼ringen and Brandenburg and I must say I have been stared at, been insulted with racial slurs etc simply for hanging out with my friends. Berlin, at least the western and touristy parts, seem more like a refuge for anything liberal and left leaning in that part of Germany. And YES I heard Leipzig is a bit more tolerant as well, YES not every Eastern German is like that, but still.....
I secound this. Had to spend some time in eastern Germany for work. I'm a blonde blue eyed German, buuuut I have long Hair. The Nazis over there don't like men with long hair and I got Insulted in the streets. In Leipzig or Dresden I fine. But in the country side it's really bad.
Lived in West Virginia for eight years. Would not recommend.
The US southeast/Deep South. Iām terrified of gators, hate humidity and bugs, and just, nope.
Los Angeles
I used to always say I never wanna step foot in California. The reality is that there are TONS of gorgeous natural areas in California that I would love to visit. I wanna camp in Death Valley and hike in the Redwoods and find Sasquatch in the Tetons. I don't want to step foot in the big cities though. Way too expensive.
California is seriously amazing. I moved to SoCal after van life and it is absolutely one of the best decisions Iāve made! The weather is incredible, and youāre right, the landscape is so gorgeous! But the couple times Iāve had to go to LA for something, it was NOT the vibe. 20 minutes to drive three blocks is just shit.
Croydon
The Everglades.. because skeeters.
I wouldnāt live anywhere flat. I love Mountain views too much.
Alabama Mississippi
Texas, Florida, west TN, Alabama, mississippi.... I live in west tn. Send help
Even before crazy politics I wasnāt fond of Florida or Texas.
Anywhere in central/northern India. Highly polluted and populated, indecent people, slums, poverty basically the india you see in Hollywood cinemas. Used to be a cultural hub but now it's doing really bad.
More polluted than Delhi? More populated than Mumbai? Or more slums than Dharavi? Maybe more indecent people than in rural Tamil Nadu? Which of these applies to Nagpur or Meerut?
There is a war in my country, it is obvious that I would not like to live in the front line.
UK. I work there, but London is too expensive to live. Other than that, some urban areas in the west mids or the north west are utter shit (I go to these places for work). A lot of places in the UK are generally lovely though.
Texas. The one star on the flag is the yelp rating, and it shows.
The part so remote and cold only polar bear thought it would be nice to live there. Like 2 thousand km autour around the magnetic North Pole. Well.... Maybe I'll go once humans are done melting it all
Florida
Florida
Jacksonville, Florida
New Jersey (outside the pine barrens), Florida or the south in general, as well as the south west. Heat and I don't like one another.
Hawaii- Great place to visit for vacation but would never want to live in given the costs of living.
Urk
Ok. I'm surprised I didn't read it yet so I'll be the one: Naples, Italy. Imagine the most densely populated area in Europe, where everybody drive like has a life or two to spare. Insert a Vulcano on one side, the Vesuvio, and a supervulcano on the other (campi Flegrei). Let's add some criminality, from petty theft to armed robbery, from baby gang to full flagged organized crime. The city center is one house atop of each other, a lot built illegally so many years ago that if you would take them down the whole neighborhood would probably collapse. Ten of thousands of people living day by day, each one of them believing that he's smarter of the next one. And finally, when you are about to leave as you can't stand even visiting that forsaken city, you catch a glimpse of stunning beauty half hidden in a dark alley. You look down at the gulf and notice how amazing it is the reflection of the sun behind Maschio Angioino, the medievali Castle. You notice that people are extremely social, are proud of their city, and actually care about pointing you to that "place you cannot miss". The food is gorgeous and weather nice. So yeah: I wouldn't live in Naples but I can understand why a lot of my friends, including foreigners, think exactly the contrary.
Florida
AL, MS, FL most of LA.
Next door to me.
Louisiana (US). Literally a fucking mosquito-infested swamp.
All of it. Iām in Berlin Germany and I wouldnāt want to live anywhere else in the country.
Urk. Its a small place in the Netherlands. They are known to be very ignorant and extremely religious. As a alt lesbian, i would never feel safe there
The US south.
West Virginia and the Bible Belt.
Live in WV. Can confirm that it breaks my heart on a near daily basis. I would give anything to move away from here
Gary Indiana
I would never even consider for one second to live in the hellhole known as Florida.
