 @efa2e20e id say Cincinnati region, north carolina, Pittsburg region.

Areas around smaller cities that had a industrial era collapse, but have rebounded would be best across the board.

CT is an awful place, as is new York because the state is attached to the city.
Jersey is an awful place too.

 @a5fc73e1 @CT.

Ct has insane taxes on everything, extremely entrenched and corrupt politics on every level, it's disgustingly racist and racially segregated, overpriced, restrictive gun laws, the roads are some of the worst I've driven in the country. Shitty weather and the snobby NE attitude is rife in ct.   Sure, there are nice pockets, but all in all, CT sucks.

 Fair. NE taxes are insane.

How’s it racist?

Jersey is beautiful though…

 @a5fc73e1 
I lived in New haven for 7 years.  The black people are crazy racist and the white people could possibly be worse.  They don't even try to integrate with each other.  I've live in several east coast regions and the palpable corporatizing of people by race was mind blowing to me while in CT.  In 2005 and 6 there were constant race based political nonsense between democrats, whom we all know are racist to begin with

The pine Barrens are pretty.

The shore is trash, the north east is owned by big pharma, Camden is philly's butthole and jersey city is nyc butthole.

If you want beautiful go to Utah.

 Near PA is beautiful if you’re in North Jersey.

Living 30min from the beach at all times is pretty fantastic.

Yeah, Camden is a shithole.

Jersey City isn’t bad!
