move to south new jersey when i was 12 im 42 and still here i love it.

I currently live in Rapid City, and while much of South Dakota is basically a wasteland, the Black Hills/Badlands region is beautiful and cost of living is still pretty affordable. Also, there's no state income tax, driving is a breeze for most of the year since there's usually not too much traffic hassle, humidity is lower West River, and Midwestern nice is a thing. But I will admit crime is a problem in areas of the state, especially the Indian reservations and parts of Rapid City. Pay often isn't as good due to less available good jobs outside of Rapid City and Sioux Falls, cost of living has been increasing in Sioux Falls and the Hills, and Black Hills hailstorms are nightmare fuel. I'd put the state about in the middle. If you must go anywhere in the state, go to Sioux Falls or the Hills/Badlands area.

Beautiful mountains and places to swim, like the Potomac. Well, actually you might not want to swim in the Potomac. Last time I went it was covered in algae. Anyway, considering the nature, it’s a D tier, not an F.

Florida is in a development frenzy and has millions of transplants. Thats why its so expensive.

My uncle lives in the suburbs of Portland and when I got out of boot camp I visited him and I drove around and I saw so many older not rusty pickup trucks I was in awe living in minnesota for 8 years and so many rust buckets running around.

I'm surprised you didn't talk about Tennessee, being in the music scene

Wife’s grandfather lived in Buffalo, WV. Talk about fucking poverty. One hour from the closest wal mart, which was the closest grocery store. While right now in Knoxville, TN, I’m a 15 min drive from five different ones in any direction. They lived at the end of a four mile gravel road. Where you stand in their yard and had zero cell service. Not roaming. NO service. Absolute poverty.

I lived, against my will as an Air Force brat, in Grand Forks AFB for two years and will attest to your comment about North Dakota.

That’s you’re masterpiece, Finn!

Born and raised in Morris County NJ. Can confirm that Paterson and Irvington are still terrifying, Newark is slowly but surely on the up trend but still has its kinda sketchy areas

This is awesome because I spent most of last year going all over to obscure places just like Canon Beach. I agree with mostly everything I've heard. I have only been up on the mountain part of Pittsburgh and never to Columbus or Orlando so you got me curious about those. Wawa > Sheetz.

Having lived in Kentucky and grown up in Michigan, I'm pleased with your placement of Kentucky relative to Ohio. I miss Lexington. I have some fond memories there.

Yeah, not saying Finn is doing this, but sad to see so many left wing personalities and media figures smear Florida while literally everyone is dying to move there

I was born and raised in Brooklyn and honestly I agree with you about NY which is why I left for Florida days after turning 18. I will say there are some spots in upstate that are beautiful such as Ithaca and the Adirondacks, but it’s too cold even in the summer at least when it’s not midday. Edit: just got to the Florida part, you have to go to key west if you want to see something truly amazing but it is overpriced. I’d rather live here than anywhere else though despite the price. Broward county, Naples, some areas near Tampa and also the springs are nice too!!

God DAMN! I was born in Cumberland, MD and grew up in West Virginia. Finn has definitely seen the same broken down trailers and poverty I'd see on a daily basis growing up. Southern WV has a small music scene, though, so that's cool...and I mean small, but I'll take it.

Love the Washington pride bro!!!

I live in eastern Washington. One of my first jobs was as a delivery driver. In one day, I would experience desert, snow, rain, 80 degree weather, heavy fog, rolling hills, ancient waterfalls and flood plains, and world famous Mt Rainer off in the distance. I’ve lived here all my life but I couldn’t believe how cool it was. Then I realized, I have hardly been to the famous western region of the state. The politics are annoying as hell but the scenery here is unlike anywhere on Earth.
