Obviously, don't tell me exactly where you live, no actual addresses please! You can be as vague as you like.
I live in Central Missouri in the U.S.
Pros:
This is an absolutely beautiful place, green rolling hills, lots of rivers, lakes, ponds, and natural springs, cool caves to explore.
Lots of farming here, so great access to quality fruits, vegetables, meat, eggs, and dairy.
It's relatively inexpensive to live here compared with other states, because it's a "flyover".
I'm close enough to three major cities, that it's an easy day trip, and I'm about halfway to anywhere in the U.S.
We have one of the best Conservation departments in the U.S. and this is one of the few things that is a bipartisan issue. Lots of awesome nature programs that are free or cheap, state parks, conservation areas, bird watching, hunting, boating, foraging available to everyone.
Cons:
Yeah, it's a big one, it is a RED STATE, while a lot of the cities are blue, there is a large rural population, that votes red. Abortion is not legal here. People often vote against their own self interest.
While I'm not against responsible gun ownership, lots of people aren't responsible, and people have access to guns that definitely should not.
We have very few employee protections here, while the cost of living is relatively low compared with other places, it's taken years to get to a $12 minimum wage, and it's still not enough.
@RickiTarr#Ypsilanti#Michigan. Lots of different kinds of people here, most of 'em are nice, it feels like a community. #AnnArbor is to the west, #Detroit is to the east. We got parks, libraries, pretty good public transportation, politics trends left-of-center (which is pretty much where I am). Not much to complain about. I mean, I wish we had mountains like Colorado. But other than that, all good! 👍 😁
Y’ALL WILL NEVER BELIEVE THE UBER RIDE I JUST HAD!!! FUCKING DETROIT AS FUCK!! Uber driver mentioned he was just traveling “I’m an entertainer. You might know my group” starts singing I’ll Be Around WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK! It’s one of THE SPINNERS driving me to my fucking ear appointment 😭 #Detroit
