I live in Dallas Texas and I plan on moving away as well. Most likely I’ll head on up to Michigan; I do miss basements, less tolls, less traffic and less people.
Not really forced, but I would definitely move to Johnson City, Tennessee. Low cost, low crime, friendly people and beautiful area. Plus, as a Veteran, the VA Hospital in JC currently ranks #4 in the nation

Lived all over. It's not fear. It's logical during extended winter months. Bitchin cold. Hazy days of dread aka lack of sun. Falls for retirees. Locked in unless you want to work your butt off to get out. Yeah, shoveling snow. Fingers and toes never thaw. Lack of stuff to do COMPARED to other places South. Everything closes earlier. Season often closes lots of stuff for months such as camping and other outdoor activities. All that little stuff adds up.
Not fear, just not comfortable to be active outside. I moved from CA to NYC (completing residency then returning home to CA immediately) and I find the winters to be super-depressing. Wind chill is insane, gloomy all day, trees all leaf-less, no sun and just no real reason to go outside. Not very fun. I feel bad for the kids, they just stay inside all winter just like their parents. It's brutal. The premium paid for excellent weather is worth it.
The cold can't kill you as fast as the heat can. You don't realize you're over heated until its too late. Also, when its 95 to 105 all the for three months at a time, its no different than hard winters. You're stuck in the house regardless.

Then came all of the people, crime, drugs, traffic ect. I escaped thirty years ago to North Florida. I love it here. I don't care about the alligators or the bugs or snakes or any of that.

As a native North Carolinian, I became disgruntled with all of the outsiders moving in, so i chose a state to move to that wasn't being flooded- Kentucky. now that i'm here, i realize why no one wants to move here lol 2/10 recommend
I think Alabama is where I would move to if I had to move to a southern state. Not too many people move there. Has pretty hill country up north and nice beaches too.
I’m already in Oklahoma but if I was moving Georgia or Tennessee would be my next two choices. Aerospace is definitely growing here in Oklahoma. A huge new Pratt & Whitney plant just opened in Oklahoma City.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT MOVE TO OKLAHOMA!!!! When I went to get my updated drivers license after I got married I had to come back another day because the WIND knocked out the system used state wide. All levels of government are not prepared for anything and given the amount of natural disasters, it is very worrisome.
NC is just not going to be a popular as you think. Ashville just got destroyed from Helene. It not going to recover for at least 3+ years. Which is going to hurt your growth percentage.
@@stephenlucinski9685 Ashevillain here. NC is a beautiful state outside of the the western region also. Charlotte is the place to be for finance. Raleigh and Chapel Hill for healthcare and research jobs. We have the top tier Outer Banks and other quaint coastal towns…people are obsessed with us
When it comes to natural disasters i live in one of the best places in the USA. Tacoma Washington. The Pacific NW has its problems, and we only need to worry about volcanoes and earthquakes. We will eventually have a disaster that dwarfs anything a hurricane can do, but at least those disasters are decades or centuries apart. Too bad it's so effing expensive, and the moderate liberals have become extremists.
Oh, I bet I’ve been there twice both of those times being in the fall along with other states and they have the best fall foliage in anywhere across America!
@@stargazer5073 No where. You're going to deal with some of natural event at some point in your life no matter where you live. West you have forest fires, The whole coast gets floods and hurricane, Midwest near Oklahoma gets tornadoes and just about everywhere can get a earthquake. It would be a nice video but I don't think any part of this earth yet alone country is safe from those events. you just have to choose which ones you want to deal with
No the people don't want outsiders. I would not move to Tulsa. Around me, stores and businesses are closing and there is nothing here but drugs. I know I want to move from Tulsa. Nothing is close and nothing here. If I want to exist in nothing, I want to go to Vermont. I wish I could go to Vermont, but money holds me back.
@@j.d.552 There is nothing really here. I talk to a few convention people, and they say Tulsa is nowhere. They can't make enough here. Like I said stores are closing here. And Wal-Mart is really the only place here for food. All the others are higher. Wal-Mart is raising prices still here. They are not coming down at all. It is a mistake unless you have a full-time secure job here that pays because rents are climbing. Lawton is a military town that is doing well but the rest of Oklahoma has troubles. It's the federal government safety nets that keep OK alive. Oil and a few warehousing places is all there really and those jobs like Whirlpool are precious. I made a mistake moving here but I had no other options shown to me at the time for better place. I tell people if they want to move here, rent for about 6 months especially in the hot summer to see if you want to live here. Then you will know.
I see your point. OK has a huge problem with Methamphetamines, but in order to grow their economy they are going to have to IMPORT their skilled labor and educated workforce. I do have opportunity in that state but I wouldn't want to live there with my family.
@@myurbangarden7695 Both states have this problem. Drugs are high in both OK and VT. But VT does not have the murder rate like OK. Both states need to be educated but both need businesses who want to come to both states and don't. There are huge differences between VT & OK but this problem with the economy in only certain areas of the state doing good while the rest suffer has got to change are the same. And the rich with Chinese money buying up farmland at least I know is truth in OK has got to stop. Small farmers who want to grow our food and sell in co-ops to the American people can eliminate price gouging. Irrigation systems must be top priority and help these small farmers in both of these states and stop destroying our food supply. Both of these states have the same problems economically even though they are different mindsets and beliefs for living life. My mindset is more VT, I just want to go home.
Vermont is probably expensive because they’re limiting on people moving there and they want to keep their state as naturally as they can without plowing the trees to build growing civilization
It's the transplants and elderly that are moving out of California. Population and prices already growing again after falling between 2020-2022. I don't know a single Native Californian (born/raised) that is leaving and I know people in all socio-economic classes from $50 million net-worth to people living with their parents in their 40s. And that includes bartenders, forklift drivers, truck-drivers, roofers, doctors, lawyers, dentist, CPA, etc
Mr. Briggs. If I were to move to a southern state, I would probably move to East Tennessee around the Knoxville area. I would move there for: 1. Affordable. I live in the Medford area and Knoxville is cheaper than Medford. 2. The scenery. From what I gathered from reading about east Tennessee, it's beautiful. 3. The people. I could fall in love with southern hospitality.
For the topic of Wyoming, it's only a matter of time before people pouring in from California make the price of living skyrocket, as it's already been doing for the past six years. The more and more the big cities expand, the less and less space we'll have to work with. One of the reasons why I sorta dislike the big shift of people moving there. I want to keep it quiet and keep the low density of traffic but it's only a matter of time before it becomes the next California, with bad drivers and high traffic density. Now I'm not actively discouraging people from moving there, but I wouldn't bet on the cost of living to remain affordable
@jongallardo8006 it won't. Nowhere will remain quiet. Population growth, high prices, and crime will see ppl flocking to the likes Wyoming and Maine, despite the cold.
Boulder has such strict policies about anything being built that even people who want to move there can't. Growth is more likely to happen in Fort Collins/Greeley, Colorado Springs, and Aurora (yes, there are some bad neighborhoods. But 3/4 of the city ranges from decent middle class suburbia to very well off, and they have space to continue sprawling)
I’m moving back to CA. Income will triple overnight. Cheaper in the Midwest, but the extra $200K takes care of increased housing costs. Nice to have UCLA medical center instead of a one-doctor clinic.
I am moving to New Hampshire in a couple of weeks (from Maine). I will be living on the New Hampshire/Vermont border. I will be working at a big hospital.
I have lived in colorado, loved it. But for my husband to grow in his career, we had to leave the loveland area. Then we settled in north carolina and raised our kids there. Raleigh area. Now we are retiring in upstate new york. We are very happy here. Adirondacks area. Wanted to live in an area not so hot. Grew up in south dakota. We love your videos!!!
Greetings from the PPRC GREAT VIDEO TODAY. If I had to move South it would be Alabama because I was born there. Of the other states I would move to Idaho, love the west and the mountains.🇺🇸🍺🍺
Which southern state to move? Most have hurricanes, flooding and thunderstorms. Even so I'd choose Florida, for sunshine, entertainment, beaches, lots of restaurants, coffee shops, things to see. Would love to visit St. Augustine. No states on this list appeal to me for living, though I want to visit Wyoming in summer to see the wild mustangs. Whether residents welcome you, how friendly they are is not a consideration. I go where I want for sights and atmosphere. The American way, traveling place-to-place.
I lived in N. GA years ago and loved it, only left for husbands job growth. Western SC has lots of cute towns, close to mountains, not as hot in summer, lots of new construction, very affordable for retirees. Walhalla, Travelers Rest and Pickens are nice.
People are ruining NC.. idc what you say Around 15-20 years ago rent prices in Raleigh were around 1k for a 3br 2ba My parents bought their home in 2010 for 143k. It’s now valued at over 480k It’s all of the outsiders who are ruining it. Now the traffic is unbearable & there’s useless construction everywhere. People pay 2-3k for an apartment that’s made of cheap materials that will go down in the first severe weather storm we get. Asheville was just isolated.
Go ahead and take yourself on up to Wyoming. You won't be there past the second winter. I made it through four of them. I'd move back in a second for the right offer, but the winter will take your heart and soul away.
Idk what you’re talking about with Cheyenne Wy not having a boom, in the last 4 years alone we have already gotten three Microsoft supercomputer centers and now we’re in the process of building a facebook meta center. I can also name you so many different places that are businesses or neighborhoods that used to be open prairie that they’ve built in the past couple years
Kentucky is technically Southern but more Midwest-ish along the OH and IN borders. Lexington is kind of its own separate thing with a touch of Southern. The rest of KY is pretty southern. Most people are not overly eager to outsiders moving in. They are polite, but not big on change.
@@meedwards5 I have family in Rising Sun, In. Lawrenceburg In. and in Covington that we visited many years ago. What I remember of Lexington, it seemed nice, and the university was beautiful! However my favorite town of all was Berea. It was exactly like one of those post card perfect towns! It's one town that I would love to revisit! 🤗
People don't use water. Farms use water. Even with 40 million people, Ag uses 75-80% of California's water, for example. Does that mean CA should stop growing things? Of course not. Just saying these are the facts.
Does Virginia count as a southern state? I really couldn't live in the south except for Virginia. I was wondering why Montana wasn't on that list. I am looking for a state that borders Canada when I retire. I had my teaching credentials transferred to WA state and may do the same with MT.
Virginia is south of the Mason Dixon line. So yes it is a southern state. And very beautiful. The Blue Ridge mountains are spectacular. And Great Smoky Mountains National Park is not far away 😊
After all the recent flooding in the South, and despite all the incoming hate I am about to receive, my tuckus is staying in my boring NW Side Chicago raised brick ranch. My house is paid for, taxes ain't bad, I have all the Polish, Italian and Mexican restaurants, bars and grocery stores I could ever need, and 20 minutes from an international airport. Weather ain't always the best but the lake keeps things from getting too hot like in Arizona or Nevada and don't underestimate being close to a major fresh water source. To all my brothers from Nevada and Arizona who are about to flame me, dude, you live in a fricken desert, as the planet warms, do you really want to stay in an area where water availability is not certain? Love the channel btw Briggs!
And also I want to move a state or country is moist it's not dry and doesn't have too many dudes I hope I found State and country has so many women outnumber the man in 2031 cuz I'm trying to save up to get out Colorado is to dry and there's too many dudes too many man and there's hard to find single women out here and stay in the dry state maybe you should talk on your next video what state and country might have more women outnumber man and you can move to State and country with your social security with the same amount I have

If you love the outdoors, stay away from FL. If you love air conditioning, it's the state for you.
Way too hot to enjoy anything!
I am a Floridian. Been here my whole life. I agree that there are parts of Florida I would not live in. I grew up in the Ft. Lauderdale area. In the 1960s it was really nice. Then came all of the people, crime, drugs, traffic ect. I escaped thirty years ago to North Florida. I love it here. I don't care about the alligators or the bugs or snakes or any of that. It all over the state. I like the peace and quiet, no traffic less crime.
@@JacobGreeneyez haha you must think the 1970’s in Florida still.
You may be surprised but it’s mostly all been built over. In my city alone 2 new apartment complex’s just have been built along 1 hi way. And 3 hospitals. Along with many stores and 3 new housing developments.
The days of “flat land, alligators and swamps” are long gone.
You must listen to C.N.N too much.. 🤣

The trick to moving out of California is not going where the herd goes . I moved somewhere in the mid west .
Oklahoma? Really?! Hard pass.
better than California or NY
@@skurinskilmao absolutely not…let me guess you have never lived in either 😂
@@skurinski LOL people love to hate on California for no reason (especially considering it is the powerhouse of America). NYC I get (been here for over 2 years now and find it very over-rated with brutal winters and humid summers) but born/raised in Cali and returning as soon as residency is done. You couldn't pay me to live anywhere but California (maybe Hawaii but that's about it).
I moved to OKC from the DC area in January and love it!
@@RandomRabbit007 I agree man, I’ve lived on the east coast, tx, co, ca. I always run across people who have hate or “know it all” syndrome about places they have never even been or lived haha.
As a native North Carolinian, I became disgruntled with all of the outsiders moving in, so i chose a state to move to that wasn't being flooded- Kentucky. now that i'm here, i realize why no one wants to move here lol 2/10 recommend
Did you move to Harlan County Kentucky, home of Raylen Givens.
@@MbisonBalrog ha! Probably should have in retrospect. Don’t like the city I’m in at all 😖
Cdn here worked the longest year if my life in Louisville KY. Hated it. Geography fine. Living, ick.
With Brigg’s videos they could encourage ot to move to KY in the future lol
A typo in the video … Greensville SC
I think Alabama is where I would move to if I had to move to a southern state. Not too many people move there. Has pretty hill country up north and nice beaches too.
Very difficult to live there because of bad weather and suffering infrastructure
I love Alabama, moved here in 2008. The Huntsville area is growing.
Huntsville is probably the best spot to move to in Alabama over Birmingham
'Texas or Florida....for now not leaving the perfect weather in San Diego
It is hard to leave San Diego once you've lived there.
The weather is perfect, but gavin is trying to ruin the state.

I’m already in Oklahoma but if I was moving Georgia or Tennessee would be my next two choices.
Aerospace is definitely growing here in Oklahoma. A huge new Pratt & Whitney plant just opened in Oklahoma City.
OKC does have opportunities.
North Carolina being number 1 is morbidly hilarious (speaking as someone whose power was off for 4 days)
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT MOVE TO OKLAHOMA!!!! When I went to get my updated drivers license after I got married I had to come back another day because the WIND knocked out the system used state wide. All levels of government are not prepared for anything and given the amount of natural disasters, it is very worrisome.
You didn’t even mention the main reasons not to move here. Lmao, the politics and the extremely backwards and uneducated populace
That's why you should be prepped. I just bought a home in Cushing.
NC is just not going to be a popular as you think. Ashville just got destroyed from Helene. It not going to recover for at least 3+ years. Which is going to hurt your growth percentage.
@@stephenlucinski9685 Ashevillain here. NC is a beautiful state outside of the the western region also. Charlotte is the place to be for finance. Raleigh and Chapel Hill for healthcare and research jobs. We have the top tier Outer Banks and other quaint coastal towns…people are obsessed with us
When it comes to natural disasters i live in one of the best places in the USA. Tacoma Washington. The Pacific NW has its problems, and we only need to worry about volcanoes and earthquakes.
We will eventually have a disaster that dwarfs anything a hurricane can do, but at least those disasters are decades or centuries apart.
Too bad it's so effing expensive, and the moderate liberals have become extremists.
Briggs, when you say southern state to move to, does Arizona or Nevada count? If I had to live in the heat, I'd rather bake than steam. 🥵
First time I went from my home in CA to Louisiana, I thought I was going to die. Humidity is not for everyone.
Wyoming is way to cold 🥶 as a trucker who travels through there they get flooded in snow
to cold? Really?!?!....it's, "two cold"
@@PlasticPellets
Pretty sure it’s “its”. 😊
@@PlasticPellets two would be wrong because “two” is stating the number 2. I should have said “too” that would have been correct.
@Patsworldbaby I believe he wanted to say it get so cold it's like having 2 colds 😂
Visiting Vermont right now, it's so beautiful with the foilage.
Oh, I bet I’ve been there twice both of those times being in the fall along with other states and they have the best fall foliage in anywhere across America!
How about another country?
Yes
Yes another country what's this guy talking about ! The future of the United States is over if Kamala gets in dude is not in touch with reality
I hear Hungary is nice
Yea America all the same
That's on my radar screen, too...especially if I'm not pleased with the outcome of this next election.
The Upper Peninsula Mich can use more people. They have three hockey colleges up there
How do they vote - oh, wait, doesn't matter - you're crushed by Detroit. No, thanks.
Video: safest places to live in USA ...no earthquakes, tornadoes, floods or hurricanes.
@@stargazer5073 No where. You're going to deal with some of natural event at some point in your life no matter where you live. West you have forest fires, The whole coast gets floods and hurricane, Midwest near Oklahoma gets tornadoes and just about everywhere can get a earthquake. It would be a nice video but I don't think any part of this earth yet alone country is safe from those events. you just have to choose which ones you want to deal with
Asheville could be a boomtown..if private equity dont swoop up the land
It is mostly underwater right now. Not good.
Private equity just lost to Mother Nature
@Rogerthatidea just means cheap land unfortunately
If they can clean it up
No the people don't want outsiders. I would not move to Tulsa. Around me, stores and businesses are closing and there is nothing here but drugs. I know I want to move from Tulsa. Nothing is close and nothing here. If I want to exist in nothing, I want to go to Vermont. I wish I could go to Vermont, but money holds me back.
Yea Tulsa is a wild place its like Grand Theft Auto the video game in real life!!!
@@j.d.552 There is nothing really here. I talk to a few convention people, and they say Tulsa is nowhere. They can't make enough here. Like I said stores are closing here. And Wal-Mart is really the only place here for food. All the others are higher. Wal-Mart is raising prices still here. They are not coming down at all. It is a mistake unless you have a full-time secure job here that pays because rents are climbing. Lawton is a military town that is doing well but the rest of Oklahoma has troubles. It's the federal government safety nets that keep OK alive. Oil and a few warehousing places is all there really and those jobs like Whirlpool are precious. I made a mistake moving here but I had no other options shown to me at the time for better place. I tell people if they want to move here, rent for about 6 months especially in the hot summer to see if you want to live here. Then you will know.
I see your point. OK has a huge problem with Methamphetamines, but in order to grow their economy they are going to have to IMPORT their skilled labor and educated workforce. I do have opportunity in that state but I wouldn't want to live there with my family.
@@myurbangarden7695 Both states have this problem. Drugs are high in both OK and VT. But VT does not have the murder rate like OK. Both states need to be educated but both need businesses who want to come to both states and don't. There are huge differences between VT & OK but this problem with the economy in only certain areas of the state doing good while the rest suffer has got to change are the same. And the rich with Chinese money buying up farmland at least I know is truth in OK has got to stop. Small farmers who want to grow our food and sell in co-ops to the American people can eliminate price gouging. Irrigation systems must be top priority and help these small farmers in both of these states and stop destroying our food supply. Both of these states have the same problems economically even though they are different mindsets and beliefs for living life. My mindset is more VT, I just want to go home.
Vermont is probably expensive because they’re limiting on people moving there and they want to keep their state as naturally as they can without plowing the trees to build growing civilization
NC, TN, and CO maybe. The rest, can't see it. ME is beautiful, but only for half a year and it's isolated.
I remember when Californians were moving in droves to Oregon. Its residents were not happy.
It's the transplants and elderly that are moving out of California. Population and prices already growing again after falling between 2020-2022. I don't know a single Native Californian (born/raised) that is leaving and I know people in all socio-economic classes from $50 million net-worth to people living with their parents in their 40s. And that includes bartenders, forklift drivers, truck-drivers, roofers, doctors, lawyers, dentist, CPA, etc
I remember when the rest of the united states were all trying to move to California for the last 60 years. Its about time that state gotta break!
@@RandomRabbit007 It also declined in 2023. We don’t know about 2024
@@relaxedleisure4766 Wrong. Look it up. Cali gained 60,000 people (NET). More people came than people leaving.
@@RandomRabbit007 what are you talking about? The national 2023 data is showing a decline…..
Wrong but good try. Florida Number #1!!!
Mr. Briggs. If I were to move to a southern state, I would probably move to East Tennessee around the Knoxville area. I would move there for:
1. Affordable. I live in the Medford area and Knoxville is cheaper than Medford.
2. The scenery. From what I gathered from reading about east Tennessee, it's beautiful.
3. The people. I could fall in love with southern hospitality.
I like South Dakota myself
East or west?
@@Lucas-up6ww Black Hills
For the topic of Wyoming, it's only a matter of time before people pouring in from California make the price of living skyrocket, as it's already been doing for the past six years. The more and more the big cities expand, the less and less space we'll have to work with. One of the reasons why I sorta dislike the big shift of people moving there. I want to keep it quiet and keep the low density of traffic but it's only a matter of time before it becomes the next California, with bad drivers and high traffic density. Now I'm not actively discouraging people from moving there, but I wouldn't bet on the cost of living to remain affordable
They ruined Colorado already. I pray that WY remains WY
@jongallardo8006 it won't. Nowhere will remain quiet. Population growth, high prices, and crime will see ppl flocking to the likes Wyoming and Maine, despite the cold.
Think you're overly optimistic about people flocking to Boulder. Greeley, maybe Fort Collins should be on your radar instead.
Boulder has such strict policies about anything being built that even people who want to move there can't.
Growth is more likely to happen in Fort Collins/Greeley, Colorado Springs, and Aurora (yes, there are some bad neighborhoods. But 3/4 of the city ranges from decent middle class suburbia to very well off, and they have space to continue sprawling)
I’m moving back to CA. Income will triple overnight. Cheaper in the Midwest, but the extra $200K takes care of increased housing costs. Nice to have UCLA medical center instead of a one-doctor clinic.
Do you have a death wish? CaliFGAGnia? Really?
I am moving to New Hampshire in a couple of weeks (from Maine). I will be living on the New Hampshire/Vermont border. I will be working at a big hospital.
What it's like to live in Maine nowadays? I used to live there 20 years ago and i love it (except in winter). Still miss this small town vibes state.
Texas cause I live here
Briggs, my answer to your question is Virginia
I have lived in colorado, loved it. But for my husband to grow in his career, we had to leave the loveland area. Then we settled in north carolina and raised our kids there. Raleigh area. Now we are retiring in upstate new york. We are very happy here. Adirondacks area. Wanted to live in an area not so hot. Grew up in south dakota. We love your videos!!!
Adirondack area is very historical. Love it😊
Nevada is pretty good, but only if you come from an expensive area, and have a strong down payment.
Thinking about Nevada coming from LA
I am surprised Utah isn't on the list.
I’m surprised Utah isn’t on the list but somehow Wyoming is…
Make MORMONism Great Again 😮
Im moving out of NC next week. Prices have literally doubled in 5 years. Im moving to the midwest. If i move back to the south it will be Georgia
Greetings from the PPRC GREAT VIDEO TODAY. If I had to move South it would be Alabama because I was born there. Of the other states I would move to Idaho, love the west and the mountains.🇺🇸🍺🍺
Which southern state to move? Most have hurricanes, flooding and thunderstorms. Even so I'd choose Florida, for sunshine, entertainment, beaches, lots of restaurants, coffee shops, things to see. Would love to visit St. Augustine. No states on this list appeal to me for living, though I want to visit Wyoming in summer to see the wild mustangs. Whether residents welcome you, how friendly they are is not a consideration. I go where I want for sights and atmosphere. The American way, traveling place-to-place.
Don’t move to Wyoming unless you like wind. Because it never stops there. Ever.
Thanks Briggs! Always enjoying your videos!
My pleasure!
I lived in N. GA years ago and loved it, only left for husbands job growth. Western SC has lots of cute towns, close to mountains, not as hot in summer, lots of new construction, very affordable for retirees. Walhalla, Travelers Rest and Pickens are nice.
People are ruining NC.. idc what you say
Around 15-20 years ago rent prices in Raleigh were around 1k for a 3br 2ba
My parents bought their home in 2010 for 143k. It’s now valued at over 480k
It’s all of the outsiders who are ruining it. Now the traffic is unbearable & there’s useless construction everywhere. People pay 2-3k for an apartment that’s made of cheap materials that will go down in the first severe weather storm we get. Asheville was just isolated.
Go ahead and take yourself on up to Wyoming. You won't be there past the second winter. I made it through four of them. I'd move back in a second for the right offer, but the winter will take your heart and soul away.
Idk what you’re talking about with Cheyenne Wy not having a boom, in the last 4 years alone we have already gotten three Microsoft supercomputer centers and now we’re in the process of building a facebook meta center. I can also name you so many different places that are businesses or neighborhoods that used to be open prairie that they’ve built in the past couple years

I moved from colorado it went to shit i live in az now way better everyone complains about the heat honestly not even bad
I don't know if it's really considered southern, but for me it's Kentucky. What an stunningly beautiful state with really nice down home folk! 🤗
Kentucky is technically Southern but more Midwest-ish along the OH and IN borders. Lexington is kind of its own separate thing with a touch of Southern. The rest of KY is pretty southern. Most people are not overly eager to outsiders moving in. They are polite, but not big on change.
@@meedwards5 I have family in Rising Sun, In. Lawrenceburg In. and in Covington that we visited many years ago. What I remember of Lexington, it seemed nice, and the university was beautiful! However my favorite town of all was Berea. It was exactly like one of those post card perfect towns! It's one town that I would love to revisit! 🤗

Florida is full and lots of snowbird retirees are moving there.
Wyoming can't take more people. Not enough water.
People don't use water. Farms use water. Even with 40 million people, Ag uses 75-80% of California's water, for example. Does that mean CA should stop growing things? Of course not. Just saying these are the facts.

Colleges don't have "teachers."
Virginia got all 4 seasons
Virginia is south of the Mason Dixon line. So yes it is a southern state. And very beautiful. The Blue Ridge mountains are spectacular. And Great Smoky Mountains National Park is not far away 😊

Planning to make the move to Colorado in a couple of years. Fell in love with the Rockies and knew that was my state!
High taxes, sanctuary state, and lots of petty laws like in some smaller cities they measure lawn weed percentages and give fines for them. Etc,

After all the recent flooding in the South, and despite all the incoming hate I am about to receive, my tuckus is staying in my boring NW Side Chicago raised brick ranch. My house is paid for, taxes ain't bad, I have all the Polish, Italian and Mexican restaurants, bars and grocery stores I could ever need, and 20 minutes from an international airport. Weather ain't always the best but the lake keeps things from getting too hot like in Arizona or Nevada and don't underestimate being close to a major fresh water source. To all my brothers from Nevada and Arizona who are about to flame me, dude, you live in a fricken desert, as the planet warms, do you really want to stay in an area where water availability is not certain?
