Dude, get some reading skills. Nowhere did I say I loved any state or that any state was perfect.
That said, it’s cheaper to live in Fresno than in Austin.
I’m sorry facts hurt you so much. I travel a great deal for work, and my index for daily allowance is much higher in blue states. We use a simple table. California is almost 2x Arkansas. Didn’t mean to hurt your widdle feelings.
