Lots of people.
You're not being objective. You're projecting your own tastes onto everyone.
I live in blue Los Angeles. I visited Idaho, thought of moving there. It's nice. But I prefer living in L.A. Lived here too long to change now.
And I've friends and family -- Trump voters -- who've lived their whole lives in NYC, and continue to live there.

Lots of Leftists. FIFY

I'm projecting the tastes of most Americans. There's a reason those states have been losing population and the red states have been gaining - that is particularly so if you exclude foreigners. ie more actual Americans want out of those places and have been voting with their feet.

And I've lived in San Diego and NYC and Minneapolis. Never again. All have gone downhill in the last 20 years and the problems they all have were quite evident to me as far back as the 90s.....ie less opportunity, ridiculously high costs, ridiculously high taxes, very oppressive vis a vis gun rights, completely insane Leftist courts, massive corruption at all levels of government, etc.
I've also lived in Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Arizona and North Carolina so I have a basis for comparison. I'd pick any Southern state over those places any day.
“I visited Idaho, thought of moving there. It’s nice. But I prefer living in L.A. Lived here too long to change now.”
We bought a second home in North Idaho eight years ago. I thought we were buying a summer vacation home. When COVID hit, my wife’s school district office shut down and Gruesome was threatening to shut down ALL freeway traffic. That was the absolute last straw for my wife. She said there was no way that bastard was goi g to lock her up in CA. On March 21, 2020 she grabbed the dog and skedaddled to Idaho. She loves it far more than the crazy, congested San Francisco Peninsula. Me? I like wintering in the Bay Area. It’s still wet, cold and overcast, but 12-18 degrees warmer than Idaho. I’ve been her in CA over 50 years and it’s hard to leave.
