It is beautiful, but the problem with New York (city or state) is that it is full of New Yorkers. My SIL is of middle eastern ancestry from Buffalo and she’s a know-it-all pain in the ass.

Those of us raised in the south should know better, so I don’t know what my brother was thinking, but he’s stuck with her now. And he wonders why family has drifted away.

Yeah, that sucks. I suspect that he was thinking that rational arguments would work with anyone, if given enough time. Lots of people here think that, which is our greatest weakness. We know enough that when we see a retarded person, he won’t be doing cutting-edge Particle Physics research, instead we feel pity and there is NOTHING we can do about it. Likewise, we need to learn that when we see a college-educated woman calling for Open Borders, we need to pity them, but also defeat them at the ballot box (regardless of whether we’re stuck voting for a RINO, by the way).
