Oddbean new post about login | logout Being hounded by coastal elitists on twitter because I said that Missouri is a good state to live in.
How dare you challenge their proximity to the money printer
I’d be mad too if i saw someone in missouri was paying 1200$ for a 4000sqft apartment
$1500 for a 450sqft studio in Chicago 💀 I keep wondering what my limit will be, I don't need much space and I do like the city even though it's run like garbage
come to stl city life without city prices
Saint Louis is a ghost town
I mean it’s in the top 25 biggest metros in the US, if that’s the definition of ghost town then the vast majority of people live in ghost towns.
He’s not really wrong either though, st. louis was forgotten and ignored, and is considered a rust belt city. Diminishing its value to America and American history is sad. As a Catholic, I would think Suhail would’ve been kinder to a city that is one of the few remaining cities in America to have such a large catholic population
I don’t hate it just that went I went there it was empty. It’s beautiful tho I love the gothic architecture there. Went to mass at the Bascilica and that was really awesome
When’s the last time you went? Also went to mass a few weeks ago there, was an absolutely lovely experience. Hoping to go to more. They do mass daily there 12pm.
New years 2023
interesting, new years was really crowded for us, i really don’t think stl is that dead anymore, next time you decide to visit, check out south grand, the grove, midtown, and i’ll even take you and your gf to a soccer game i have a season pass now.
That sounds cool I’ll def check em out if I visit and maybe I’ll happen to have a gf by then lol
Love it, but also love my sometimes broken public transit system here. If I leave, I'd move to a small city where I could hopefully bike year round, id also need to get a car for longer journeys. Sadly I thought a place like Asheville would be perfect for me and my love for the outdoors and hiking, I don't think I'd move there now after everything that's occured in the past week
biking is awesome here, and we have a great metro system!
I'll have to catch an amtrack to stl sometime to check it out
Why is Missouri a good state to live in? (Genuine question)
Beautiful nature, cheap homes, cheap cost of living, 2a rights, kind people.
Very nice! If one was to go on a nature vacation to the state. Where should they go and what should they do to get a feel for what the state is all about?
St. Louis is my favorite city. Lived there for several years and still have many friends there. Missouri is a good state to live in and lived several years in upstate NY. NY is the worst place I've ever lived so this is just them trying to act like they aren't the worst people from the worst places.
