People complain the Midwest is boring and it kind of is. The summer is too hot and the winter is too cold. But we're the safest part of the country when it comes to natural disasters.
I’m here now. It has its charms but it’s very poor - depending on where you are of course - Ann Arbor and Columbus are rich but a lot of the region is poor. Drugs are bad and a lot of property crime. Many of the cities are flat out dangerous. I’d rather live out west or in the southeast personally. Gals are all fat too. And I’m not talking chubby, they’re bad.
West Virginia and Pennsylvania are definitely not part of the Midwest, Ohio is its easternmost state and in its southeastern corner transitions to Appalachia. I think that's the part you find "third world".
I live on the eastern edge of the Midwest I guess then and going into Appalachia. Probably where my biases are rooted. But Kansas City, St. Louis, Cleveland, Detroit, and Minneapolis are some of the most dangerous cities in the country. They’re worse than Chicago despite Chicago’s bad reputation. I’ll give you that though, for a world class city Chicago is very affordable and the lake makes you feel less landlocked.
Ann Arbor - one of those places I’ve driven through but didn’t hang out in. It seemed nice and up kept. This indicates the people have money. Many places the walkable downtown buildings are left to rot because nobody has money for upkeep. You see this where I am. Salaries are low here too but housing is cheap so it’s a catch 22. They’re much higher in Ann Arbor. Ann Arbor also got ranked the 4th best place to live in the country.
I apologize. Feel free to move this if wished.Please take this conversation to the appropriate thread:
