The affordable places are terrible places.

But, actually, the unaffordable places are also terrible places.

Cities are just a bad idea at this point.

Completely unmentioned in Campaign 2024: someone has to fix our screwed up cities.

I noticed the same. Much more important would be the cost of housing when you’re in a built-up area, but outside of the DEI Zone.

Not all affordable cities are bad.
Indianapolis or Omaha and some other places i do not personally know, seem OK. The Midwestern cities are just kind of boring. Flat and far to the Oceans. The industry left for China, there is just nothing much to do.
That why their housing is kind of depressed.

Yes - nothing suprises me on these. I’d like to see rural vs city by state.

Did a recent business trip to Oklahoma City and found the place delightful. Fort Wayne is not on the list, but the little I have seen of it was nice. Virginia Beach has a lot of retired Navy and seemed very nice to me.

Sorta. I live in California, and it’s certainly a lot worse than it used to be. And leftism has caused huge problems with drugs, homelessness, businesses leaving, etc. etc. NEVERTHELESS, despite the foregoing, take a walk around some of the nicer neighborhoods of San Francisco or San Diego on a sunny day in February... and then hop on a plane the next day and stroll around Detroit or Cleveland... and it’ll be pretty obvious why some cities are at the top of the list and others are at the bottom.

That's why I live happily in nowhere vile.

Define terrible. The majority of people would find what I think is ideal as terrible to them.

I love the country, middle of nowhere, no traffic, fields, forests, streams, rivers, lakes and nature without a lot of people.

I like few stores, gas stations, commercial enterprises and no multi-family housing.
