“Arid Alabama” and “Coastal New Mexico” are in tight competition for most nonsensical description.

The Canary Islands are not “basically Hawaii”. They’re more like coastal Southern California.

I legitimately don't get New Jersey's location - Cantabria has about nothing in common other than a coast line. Is it supposed to be analagous to the wealthy areas of New Jersey, or is it supposed to be a wealthy version of New Jersey, because neither make any sense to me.

To be honest, there isn’t a single part of that map that’s accurate unless you think Vermont is the next big wine region or that Valladolid gets blizzards and notably once had a temperature delta of 100 degrees in a single day, etc.

Why is the Colorado river not going through Colorado? It's the Rio Grande that goes through New Mexico. I think Arizona might count as arid Alabama. No idea what flat West Virginia could mean. Wouldn't that be like Kansas? Arkansas? Is it reliant on coal mines? Does it only show up in the national news from a politician representing the area fighting against the positive goals of his political party?

All I know about Jersey is it's half the castoff urban slurry of NYC and half cows.

This map is useless, it doesn't differentiate between freight lines, commuter lines, subways and elevated rail. Pick up your game.

Imagine living in America and not just packing everything up and moving to the most ideal financial and/or political locale in the country whenever you feel like it. It's not like you have to learn a new language or go through years of strenuous citizenship tests like all the hundreds of people who everyday move across national borders for a better life There is no reason for anyone to ever live in Idaho.

The Canary Islands are super dry. That’s annual precipitation on Tenerife, the big island, and everything east of it is worse. Even La Palma doesn’t top Tenerife by much.  For comparison,

Hawaii does have a whole homelessness issue unique from other states because if people hit hard times there, they're stuck there because it's expensive to get back to the continental US where there's more job opportunities and more options for cheaper housing. In real numbers it's not that much, but per capita, Hawaii ranks as #2. Although other dimensions to that is that Hawaii relies a lot more on industries that specifically worry about homelessness spoiling the scenery, and also on the continent, more states are able to "solve" their homelessness issues by either pushing them out to other states or by waiting for them to all die of exposure, neither of which are options in Hawaii. A lot of people can pick up and move anywhere throughout the US, but if you don't have the money or in-demand skills, it can be very hard to set up somewhere else.

Come to think of it, there's a lot of history with the US's other outlying territories working hard to send people to the mainland US. Puerto Rico's first elected governor instituted a program to train people to for emigration to the mainland United States to help alleviate overpopulation issues on their island. People still pour into the country through the Compact of Free Association. People from the Marshall islands have chosen Springdale, Arkansas of all places to latch onto as the place to emigrate to in order to escape local issues and find new opportunity. (There's a good Wendover video with a section about that. Wendover has a lot of videos about isolated places). Back in the day, part of the reason some people pushed against the US's imperial expansion was to stem the tide of new Americans emigrating to the mainland. The Philippines had its own history sending a lot of people over to the US while it was under American dominion, but after the country finally got given its independence, there were more barriers in the way, so they eventually developed whole programs of sending people to places far and wide across the world for jobs.
