      The problem is that there is not nearly as many good jobs in the rural areas, and most of the good jobs in tech related fields are moving employees back to the office, which means forcing people to work in big cities.

              But my point is that Ohio is not one of those places…nor is Iowa. They both suck to look at much less the economy.

              It sounds like you’ve never been to Cali.
              So easy to fall in love with it.

              You think if it looked like Nebraska anyone would have stayed after the gold rush??? Lol

          As a native Oklahoman, don’t tell people to move to Oklahoma. It’s a shit hole state.

      I don’t think thats true. Housing prices are high everywhere, I have friends and family in the midwest their shit is out of control too. New York and San Fran are the most extreme for sure but costs of renting or buying have like tripled everywhere over the last decade
