It's funny because I live in one of the red areas and, after having visited the bluegreen spots, I get it now. When you live in bluegreen, there's fucking

NOTHING

to do. About 90% of the activities are some variation of "Go into the wilderness and walk around." There are barely any services either. The town has one dentist and he sucks. There is only one grocery and it ran out of beer. You have to drive 10 hours to visit an MRI machine. The most interesting thing that happened in this town is one time Jim across the street saw a blimp. "Oh wow it's really cheap to live here." Yeah well you get what you pay for.

It's worth it to live wherever you can while you're young to save/invest money.
I moved for jobs every few years between 2010-2020, and my career is significantly better than people I went to college with.
Now I have a significant chunk invested and can easily afford a house in the expensive state I moved from.

But if you have a state with large metroplexes they'll eventually vote to ruin your state. It's why Illinois is beyond saving even if there are nice rural areas, the votes and career politicians are not interested in anything but the cities because there is greater voter return by catering your entire state government to cities.

Why would you do South Dakota instead of Missouri, Oklahoma, or Kentucky? I can see why someone would want to avoid Ohio or West Virginia with lack of industry/jobs plus environmental issues.

And I get why people would avoid Arkansas and Louisiana due to high percentage of heavily melanated individuals.

But why not MO or OK? In both states you have low cost of living, good demographics, and plenty of lakes and outdoor recreation. I guess in South Dakota you have Mt. Rushmore and the black hills, which is beautiful, but 90%+ of people in SD live on the eastern border. Plus MO has legal weed, and Oklahoma has very easy medical system. Then again, in South Dakota you do have legal weed on Indian reservations, but if you get caught off the rez I'm sure the cops would fuck you

The real question is what exactly do you do for fun that requires you to live in a big city? It's the age of Netflix, high-speed internet, VR, house parties and social anxiety. My friends are mostly alcoholic Finns and some Swedish guy. You know where I can do that from?

I don't know how they come up with illinois being one of the cheapest states

the legend on this chart is stupid

illinois is a state that taxes you up the ass, nickel and dimes you on everything, there is a big reason why people are leaving and it isn't only crime

you won't be able to find a rural property to homestead on here because all of it is being utilized for farming, every field is a cornfield that's 500k for 10 acres, every hilly pasture has cows on it, you will never find land that is affordable in illinois unless you inherit it

Michigan anon here

Cost of living is dirt here except for car insurance. Infinite rust belt and suburban areas have houses for $150k in decent shape. Weird map.
