Yes i know that, from what I’ve read MI is a very beautiful state.
I disagree with your premise. Ive been a “Non-Resident” in CA on Active Duty since 1987 and will soon hang’em up. I enlisted out of Detroit, I was raised there...Detroit is small, but Wayne County is large enough that the entire state is held captive by its vote; it impacts the rest of the state in very significant ways. The “size” of the big D matters much less than the density of its population. I will not ever live there again...ever. A blue state that wants so much to turn even bluer...California’s little brother.
