Even if someone is cishet white & conservative - small towns are very insular. Some may be welcoming to visitors, but they're avoidant of anyone living there who isn't well-known going back 3 generations. For both the kids & adults, making friends will be absurdly difficult, just because the resistance to the "new" is so strong, and the casual social options are sparse.

There are a lot of small dying towns in the south and west. People left for the big lights of the city. I stayed to see the stars at night. Its amazing not hearing sirens and gun shots every day. Eyes begging for change on every corner. Its only a matter of time, before city life brings its problems to the country.

When I was a kid, my dad got a job at a company that had offices in KS and OK. He chose KS (I don’t know why). It was awful. We were there 6 months and my mom said, “If you don’t get me out of here, I’m divorcing you.” We ended up in Tulsa and I ended up finishing out high school there. For a Midwest town, I would definitely recommend it.

I left for Thailand and havnt looked back. Best decision ever. I live on beach front property in a high rise for under 500 bucks a month. Why would anyone want to stay in America and pay those crazy prices?

Glad it works out for you. I just couldn't deal with a drastically different society. I want to finish the rest of my days somewhere I feel I belong and fit in and understand and am understood.

Enjoy while you can. These days Thai like foreigners as vacationers, not as residents unless you marry a Thai, have family and stay married. My daughter in law of 25 years is from there, they visit frequently I was there last in 2018 and that was a frequent conversation and what was being done about it.

@L32C-yg9hm luckily i started international travel in my early 20s. The more i started traveling the less i belonged in America. However, i think your right. If all you know is America than that transition would be a hard one for sure

Try living in Canada, that is where the real inflation is, the prime minister is wack AF, the housing market is insane and don’t get my started with the groceries

Big cities are for adults.

Are you a sanctuary city?
