What part of America would you refuse to live in under any circumstances?

Probably Arkansas, Alabama, Mississippi, Oklahoma, the Dakotas, Minnesota, anywhere along the Mexican border (not cuz I'm racist, but I dislike gang/drug cartel warfare), NYC, Chicago, Philly, Boston, New Jersey, LA, Atlanta proper, Houston, Dallas, anywhere below 5000ft altitude in Arizona (most of the state, especially Phoenix), Orlando, the Miami-West Palm Beach metro area.

I kid, I kid. But seriously, don't you live in Florida?

Basically all of the west coast.

Yeah I live in Florida. I live in Gainesville, pop ~125K. You could not pay me enough to live in the Southeast Florida corridor or Orlando. Me no likey big cities. But then I don't like the completely ass backwards places of the country either, hence my list. And yes, I am fully aware that many out there would hate living here in Gville.

So where WOULD you live?

Anywhere without a coast.

Suburbia

Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, West Virginia. That is about it, I would live just about anywhere else, I just know I wouldn't fit in well in these states.

Arkansas always seems to get lumped in with those other states, but there are some wonderful places there. I am not from there btw.

In the real world.

In a nice world where people get along.

SoCal, Kentucky, Detroit, Vegas

DETROIT

Anything below the Mason Dixon Line, except Maryland and DC.

Agreed. Arkansas has a bad rap, but it is one of my top ten favorite states. I've been to all but Hawaii. The eastern part of Arkansas along the Mississippi is boring flat flood plain, but the whole western part of the state is beautiful.

This is not the most recent electoral vote map. Here you go:

Note changes in IN, OH, VA, NC, CO, NM, NV, MO and IA. Of course, this still could hold true that you might not want to live in these states. I digress....

Any state other than WA, OR, CA, AK, or HI.
