What is the best area in the US to move to, to start a family? What places have the most affordable housing?

Given you are in your 20s, would the midwest not make the most financial sense? Or is Idaho/Montana still relevant?

If you are high iq and a hard worker, northeast and west coast are the best. High income (250k+) offsets everything. Texas has good high incomes too, might be as good as the coastal regions but I haven't checked recently

If you are average or lazy, southeast incomes are livable if you can tolerate nonwhites. Midwest incomes are even lower but there's more white people. Utah is good if you can tolerate Mormons.

If you can make 200k in NY like me, and 80k in the midwest, then living in the Midwest doesn't make sense even with house prices. If the difference is 90k/120k then yeah go to the Midwest.

Rural living vs city living. You have your smart farmers and simple traditional living or laborers. In the city you have business oriented office workers and yuppies or hipsters. People mind their business where not a lot is going on. That's the mid west. It's not that they're low iq and unintelligent, they're just not hip or trendy people that pay attention to the Hollywood scene.

The vast majority of billionaires in the united states have hailed from middle america upbringing. Dick Cheney has claim to being the most powerful man in america during its peak prosperity, and he heralded from the most remote region in inland america, wyoming. Joseph stalin was raised in the then remote mountainous area of Georgia, Russia, and was raised in extremely underprivileged and poor conditions. These are just two examples off the top of my head of modern legends who came from rural areas. Your correct manual labor does not attract the smartest people, but there is something to say for it crafting someone who can change the face of our civilization.

Honourable mention:
Michael Dell - Houston, Texas

Considering both the waltons and Koch brothers take up multiple spots, that is 6/10 of the USA's richest people by admitted networth who hail from rural america.

Why do the people who fundamentally change our world come from some of the most desolate areas in the united states? Being a romantic at heart, my proposition is that these areas chisel the lessons of life into you like a marble statue, and the strong shine through very brightly because of it.

Something that is interesting to note is that every area up there I mentioned is currently embroiled in the nations biggest suicide epidemic ever. The amount of people, especially young adults, from these regions that are killing themselves are higher then ever before.

Yes they are. Both played roles in the westward expansion. Both were acquired through the manifest destiny frontier. The states they reside in have human development index's that are actually below some of those other states, I.e. low urban population.

Right but your whole point is that the areas these people grew up in "developed their character" and what-not, Michael Dell growing up in Houston in the 1960s for example, did not have some "Little house on the prairie" style upbringing

>> No.16679447

>>16679226
I will cede that, it is not little house on the prairie in Houston, and there are some major differences between growing up in a corn field and growing up in the middle of an urban center that is just surrounded by rural land.

My response however is that there is more cultural crossover in these cities with the rural areas then there is in large urban swathes of land such as southern california or the eastern seaboard. Along the oregon trail or during the gold rush there were many large outposts and trading towns which hosted higher populations then many eastern towns, but these areas were still largely rural with a similar culture. Its not the 19th century anymore granted, but I think the concept still applies well, many of these citys such as Albuquerque and Houston tend to be the hubs for the large swathes of rural land around them, sustaining and supporting the activities that happen in these rural communities and suburbs that extend for hundreds of miles around the city, a direct difference to somewhere like new york which is highly condensed population center in which the city is actually being supported by the outlying suburbs rather then the other way around. This is why I believe its a fair assessment to label them rural, and label the culture rural as well.

Overall though I do think this discussion is largely unnecessary, I'm mostly just being flippant about it when there is not really a giant divide between the quality of people in one area or another. Both have sheeple, both have standout citizens, it's just a different flavor with whatever bias you want.
