They seriously think that hard working rural Americans work for free through May to pay for welfare queens and obamaphones in the city. They really think that.

California's housing is ridiculous and there is a homeless problem, but lol "failed state" rent is high because lots of people and businesses want to be there!! but they also give ND, Home of The Fracking, #2 overall in "natural environment" and California, home of the loving Sierras and the southern tip of the Cascades and redwoods and the whole central coast plus all of their environmental laws at #44 so maybe their metrics are kinda extremely hosed?? https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/rankings/quality-of-life

The headline and the article are a straight up lie.

They really think that. I'm an educated progressive, and even for me it was really baffling when I started looking up the GDP of American cities and comparing them to entire American states. Even middling, lackluster cities like the Minneapolis metro outproduce several entire states combined. It's incredibly counter-intuitive, and unless you've actually been informed and are willing to believe it there is no reason to imagine a small minority of America produces most of the country's economic, financial, industrial, scientific, and technological output.

California does have some really bad air quality but it's mainly in the shittiest parts of the state e.g. Bakersfield so Maybe the "quality of life" there depends heavily on where exactly you live whereas who the gently caress besides oil workers and Minoc troops wants to live in North Dakota??

Not to concede anything to rural chuds, but again this uses metrics that assign huge value to parasitic or bubble industries that either essentially don't reflect any reality, or shouldn't.
