Deep South
Owen Reed
southwest ftw
Kayden Sanders
Rocky mountains
Mason Cooper
PNW
Sebastian Lee
PNW because it has the best climate and nature
Brayden Barnes
Like culturally? Geographically?
I like the Pacific Northwest and New England
Oliver Lewis
The Rocky Mountains seems like a very comfy area to live at.
Landon Torres
I can't openly speak for many of them because I've only seen New York City and State in person, but from all I've seen about the US in my life the immediate West Coast and the Rocky Mountains seem the most naturally beautiful, the cultural and political make-up of the US appears to be a complete clusterfuck, and nothing west of the Appalachians seems to have mentionworthy history or naturally grown human development (by which I mean that the western US are full of grid cities and cookie cutter suburbs), so for an all-round pick I'd probably go for Upper New England.
Cooper Morris
California
Nathaniel Thompson
abeg bros make we go abroad and make small money so we can build home for mommy and daddy.
Levi Watson
New England and pnw
Landon Clark
having lived in tidewater, southern midwest, and pacific northwest, id say this
1.tidewater
2.southern midwest
3. pacific northwest
Mason Sanchez
PNW for the nature but I call the sierras my home.
No basin here just tall trees and rolling hills.
Alexander Scott
Vegas has good history ;cc
Dylan Morgan
Southern Rim, obviously.
Ryder Ward
New England because of New Hampshire and Maine
Jason Fisher
Bay Area since its home. Could really use some deportations and a wall though.
Isaac Rivera
James Jenkins
It's barely 100 years old, wouldn't exist in its current state if they hadn't stopped a river in its tracks, and derives its identity from being a scaled down theme park of the world with gambling and tits. The only reason I don't consider it the greatest urban travesty in the United States is because Pheonix exists. And Phoenix really is the last city that has any reason for existence.
Hunter Mitchell
For me any place, region or city of the united states. Where there is nothing snow, ice and winter. Where soccer is the most popular sport among people, where MLS (Major League Soccer) is the dominant professional sports league, where they are not racist, and where there is almost no xenophobia, it is my ideal place in the United States.
Caleb Powell
Everything has bountiful history if you look hard enough.
Juan Campbell
Well soccer is where all the mexicans are so you can try southern CA or AZ.
White people play baseball and football so those are the dominating sports anywhere but those too places.
Also basketball
Luis Scott
>where MLS is the dominant professional sports League
So literally no where in the US except extremely spic areas?
Gabriel Martinez
That gets away from rich history and "Worlds biggest ball of twine!" """history""" though.
Dylan Evans
im a new england boi. love it here.
what's ironic is that in high school I thought that new england was a complete boring shithole, and I wished to go and live in some big city, well I got my wish and now I wish I could live in new england again.
favorite state in new england is vermont though. beautiful place.
Brody Garcia
pacific northwest because best weather out of the entire country
Jace Moore
I had a great time in Vermont. Though, I've only ever been to Vermont. I crossed to border from Canada to eat some Ben and Jerry's and buy a Bernie T-shirt.
Sebastian Ward
Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Hawaii, Alaska and the New England area is best
Aaron Gray
What do you think would be the best city in Southern California for me?
John Williams
I'm not saying that particular places have no history at all, I'm only saying that the most westwards you go, the less time settlements have had to develop naturally, and accordingly the share of overdimensioned, soulless car era development increases. In fact one of the world's prime photos of the surburban hell originates in Las Vegas.
Christopher Martinez
>Upper South master race
Angel Harris
>Bernie
Fucking commie
You forgot Louisiana and California
Dylan Miller
Southwest, deserts are comfy.
Jackson Gomez
Still have some Bojangles tea from last time in my fridge.
Love me sum chiggen an mashed taters.
Gavin Harris
Literally any city on the West Coast. PNW if you're tired of the heat or California if you don't want the cold.
Adrian Scott
my nigga. they're really nice people there and the state hasn't been raped by urbanization quite yet
>unironically not supporting bernie
it's like you don't get it. in VT you be very liberal because mexicans and the like will never ever come up to cold boring ass VT with its shit old economy.
Cooper Ortiz
>and buy a Bernie T-shirt
Landon Garcia
Guess what, it was 'Free Ride Day' that day. So the American tax payer paid my bus ticket :^) I fell in love with the People's Republic of Vermont.
Blake Edwards
New York City
The Southwest
Central Coast
Southern California
i guess
Joshua Sanders
what's so hellish about large houses for everyone?
Robert King
And in Vermont they still mean liberal as in liberty, not as in leftism.
>be Vermonter
>attend court meetings with a gun like it's the most normal thing in the world
>nobdy gets shot
Gavin Carter
They gave away free campaign merch in one street and I got some official Bernie signs, stickers and even his book for free :DDDD Handouts, yeshhh
Robert Morales
I could not live in a place where there is snow, ice and winter.
I prefer places that are warm all the time
Aiden Cox
He didn't say that. He said it has no history.
Anthony Nelson
Closest match would be Orlando. LA might also be good, though MLS isn't the dominant sport, there are still plenty of Galaxy fans and LAFC starts up next year. Only place where the MLS is dominant would be Portland, Oregon, but the weather is shit there.
Kayden Rivera
Rocky mountains probably, because good nature.
or maybe I'm just uninformed
David Lewis
Nothing against Louisiana but too hot for me. not fond of Cali though
Matthew Thomas
nope
Ryder Adams
Oh yeah. You go into a store there and you can buy a gun, ammunition, and whiskey then walk out and call it a day. It's really a beautiful thing. I hope that never changes. You know hillary brought up how bernie sort of supported gun rights in one of the debates. fuck that cunt. If only she knew how peaceful it is in vermont. There isn't a safer state, you'd be more likely to get eaten by a bear than shot there.
Blake Howard
Well you can go to those places or you can go to florida but from my experience cubans and mexicans don't like each other so you will probably find some racism there, too.
Xavier Phillips
a tie between new england and dixie
Ryder Rogers
Oh right. I see now. A few native teepee villages and some mafia casinos is truly some rich history. Really competes with the old world.
James Cooper
what does dixie stand for?
Austin Campbell
I've lived in Bay Area almost my entirely life but I've been just outside of Chicago for grad school now and it's nice. Just some little no name town. Snowy winters are too comfy.
The Bay is still my favorite I guess.
Camden Green
It's unsustainable, if not from a sole building material standpoint or even an energy usage standpoint, then at the very least from a transportation effort standpoint. Trips and commutes take longer and longer, the US are $2 trillion behind on infrastructure renovations and $1 trillion in debt for cars, in most places you can't uphold a job without a car, the spread promotes wealth segregation and therefore a procrastination and even worsening of social issues, and still there are people who think the solution is to spread out more and pave more lanes. Your urban planning is a castrophe and a bane on your life quality and society.
And arguably the build quality and visual appeal of American houses has tremendeously decreased with growing size.

Carter Gray
nothing, dixie is another name for the south

Charles Barnes
I kinda didn't like how Sanders felt like he needed to pretend to want gun control during the debate. Just own it and don't palicate democ-rats.
Gavin Bell
>nothing west of the Appalachians seems to have mentionworthy history
The Old West was an amazing time in US history. Also the history of New Spain/Mexico in the area with the missions and cool architecture.
Parker Cook
You guys do realize dixie literally epitomizes everything foreigners make fun of us for?
Blake Morris
The Old West was a dusty shithole without plumbing, and problematically some people think its archiac social laws about self-justice still apply today.
Nolan Parker
I really want to visit north-eastern New England (particularly New Hampshire and maybe Maine). Also western Montana with some north-western Wyoming (Grand Teton NP), so basically these two areas I guess. Wouldn't mind moving to either place desu
Hunter Myers
can someone more or less describe all of those regions? like stereotypical people, if it's rich etc.

Eastern WA and Eastern Oregon don't belong to either the PNW or the Rockies. We are technically called the Inland Northwest but locals call it the Inland Empire. I don't associate myself with hippie PNW people or redneck Idahoans. Any Seattle guy can tell you that people east of the Cascades are "Fucking Weird." I think people from seattle are the ones that are fucking weird. The inland northwest also shares a very different type of climate compared to the rockies or the PNW. We have arid steppes, Temperate hills and mountains in the northern part.

Jonathan Stewart
well guns are a big deal in VT though. he most likely does care about gun rights at least a little and wants to represent his people. antigun legislature would affect rural people (like vermonters) the most negatively. these are people who've been living without antigun legislature for years without really any issues, couple that with their hunting culture and you'd understand why bernie would feel the need to represent that issue.
Hudson Thompson
dixie is the last vestige of true american culture
Kayden Cook
Olympic peninsula here, east washington is great
Camden Myers
New Orleans because the culture
I also like the Appalachians a lot because of the mountain people
Chase Howard

Aaron Bennett
oki dokes cheers
Liam Richardson
I mean that he pretended to support gun control during the debates. He is actually pro gun but pretended to support gun control to palacate Dems to say "see I'm one of you!" And he shouldn't have. He should have just owned it and said gun control is bull shit like he owned the socialist label.
Cameron Cook
whoops wrong links sorry

Hunter Kelly
ah I see. he made too many compromises honestly. above all though, he never went for the jugular on hillary, and even when he said that she was bought out by wallstreet, he would phrase it really nicely lol. it was very frustrating.
I also wish he could have stood up against identity politics and reiterated that the real issue is wealth inequality not this media driven bullshit that has everyone distracted. that sure would have divided his voters up, but I don't believe he ever really expected to become president. I believe he ran to make a statement and maybe lay the ground work for a new democratic party.
Ethan Bailey
i live in what is considered new york city on that map (not actually in the city though), so there because i live there. not much of a reason for it not to be connected to the mid atlantic region as a whole, or for the mid atlantic to be that small.
Jason Carter
where have you visited in east WA? I want to see the olympics but the closest i've been to them is Whidbey island
Thomas Evans
fixed
Charles Price
>There isn't a safer state, you'd be more likely to get eaten by a bear than shot there.
that is because vermont is the whitest state in the union
Luke Anderson
>that is because vermont is the whitest state in the union
WOAH WOAH WOAH BUDDY!!! step it back step it BACK!!!
Adrian Bennett
Don't have one.
Possibly Rocky Mountains though as I love your mountains and evergreen forests.

Henry Howard
New England,
Because it has history,culture and wonderfull nature as well.
Juan Robinson
You're not relevant enough for that map change.
Jordan Robinson
Upper Michigan and Wisconsin are The Midwest, but Ohio is not to me.
Jackson Taylor
Been out to Schelan, Ellensburg, Wenatchee, Walla Walla, Spokane and Moses Lake. I usually make a trip every few years. it's definitely a beautiful place, no doubt.
Juan Davis
PS: Seriously, Theodore Roosevelt and the other guys come from a time in which american upper crust was like..european upper crust but more hands on.
It is the america I prefer to see, compared to nikki Minajh etc.
I dislike how we value being loud and obnoxious nowadays and do not seem to give a shit about politeness and at least a bit of decorum.
Going for the lowest common denominator is very democratic but it sucks that our ideals also get reduced to it. Measure a society to its heroes.
Thomas Lopez
If Adirondack gets it's own region then why not here? 2 million people live in my region.
Blake Sanchez
Adirondack actually has a history. It's not about the size of the region
Cameron Wilson
>I dislike how we value being loud and obnoxious nowadays
>Seriously, Theodore Roosevelt
Ahahahaha god, read more about Teddy please. I love the man but your post is nonsense.
Samuel Wright
best us state
Thomas Bailey
PNW
Nicholas Sullivan
If you like swamps, alligators, mosquitos, humidity, crackheads, retirees, bad drivers, terrible cities and Puerto Ricans.
Correlation =/= causation. Minorities aren't violent because they're colored, but because they're poor. Not race or availability of weapons fosters violence, but poverty and social conflict.
Noah Smith
>and Puerto Ricans
You mean Cubans.
James Watson
Both really.
John Lopez
Some facts about the inland northwest:
First trading post in the old Oregon territory. There were so many goods here that traders started calling the economic region the Inland Empire. The name stuck
Smallest city to host the worlds fair is Spokane
Spokane is the birthplace of Father's day
the worlds largest salmon can be found here
A terrain here is unique to the entire world and is the byproduct of an ice dam 2000 feet tall melting and flooding the area with waves hundreds of feet tall.
The Palouse region is the most fertile grassland in the world
I can go on and on.
Noah Hernandez
To be fair, crackheads are everywhere in the u.s.
Sebastian Thompson
that's weird. because socal, which is infested with mexicans, and the south, which has tons of blacks, are both poor and violent. but appalachia and the prairie west are almost entirely white except for some natives, just as poor, and not even close to as violent. that's really strange, huh?
Parker Gonzalez
>but because they're poor.
Vermont is relatively poor though. GDP per capita USA was 51k in 2012. (data.worldbank.org
Near-bottom of the barrel is West Virginia at 37k, which is 93% white, and you can view their statistics here: neighborhoodscout.com
>Violent crime 3.38 per 1000 residents, below national median of 3.8
>Property crime 20.2 per 1000, national median 26
>Crimes per square mile, 26, compared to national median 32.85
Categorically across the board, the poor as shit 93% white West Virginia is safer than the average US state. For the record, I don't live there or anywhere near there, so I'm not being biased.
Jeremiah Gray
Yes, he was also loud and probaby obnoxious...but he had manners.
The difference is nowadays we don't have manners we can ignore.
It was not mainly about him.
The difference is the starting point so to speak.
Blake Young
Rural Midwest.
It has a large Lutheran and Nordic element, which is a nice familiar touch.
