I was born on the West coast and while I'm no Jingo or nibbles with my Cali hate boner, I wouldn't live there either myself. I've been to New York once and It's just too congested for my tastes...Mid-west and whatever Oklahoma is considered is ok, I guess. But I love the South....All of the racism, subpar public education, sweltering temperatures, giant, mutant bugs, and likelihood to be swept away by a storm named after your Sunday School teacher is all acceptable to me vs the alternatives.
