In regards to states, cities, policies, freedom, wealth, opportunities, education, and all that - What spot would you say is best to live in, in the USA?

I was trying to figure this out a few months ago. It seems like each area has its positives and its negatives. Like in Wyoming. Your dollar can stretch far as hell. You can get yourself 10 acres of land with a decent house for under 200k. Property taxes aren't high either. But then you are out in the middle of nowhere with little opportunity so you'd have to be successful online or willing to travel far for work.The education is a mixed bag as well. Not much to do in terms of social luxuries either.

It's a difficult question because the person's desires have to be factored in. If you like even weather year-round, access to a coastline, and a diverse population. If you want lush rolling greens, lots of land, more connected with nature I would say Montana, the Dakotas, Utah, CO, etc. The USA has such beautiful geography all across the country, when you add social lenses on top of it then it changes. I wouldn't recommend Montana, the Dakotas, Utah, to a Black person.

Yeah I think every area has it's down sides. I've found that in the places where you can get the land you want for the price you want, you don't want to be there and be black lol But you just have to make a list of what you want and see what area hits the most points. No where is going to be perfect but you can get close enough and make the rest work.

    "I would guess" is so commonplace that it can mean a presumption now.

    And frogs bump their rump every time they jump. Which is to say, your reply has nothing to do with anything. Try reading and then understanding what is before you. Ask questions if you're not sure of what I meant instead of jumping up like the mayor's wife to try and set me straight.
