A Kpro posted:I loved Idaho because it wasn't California, Mississippi, Qatar, or Minnesota. Unless you live in Stanley those winters are mild. And if anyone is in Boise Gernika's is the place you're gonna wanna go. The tongue they do up on Saturdays is fuckin legendary, and their lamb kebab is delicious too. Pie Hole is good if you're on a budget.

I lived for a year in what I now realize was exploitative student housing in Troy, New York. I lived with a woman who owned both a dog and a cat. The cat was all right, just sticking its face into whatever I was eating, but the dog was something else. The poor thing was left inside so long it relieved its bowels on the kitchen floor. I moved out almost instantly.

Luckily I barely remember what was probably the worst place I ever lived. Mountain View, Missouri in the Ozarks. My mom's co-workers would tell her about running black people out of town and there was a lot of inbreeding and stuff going on there. Probably a personal thing but I really cannot stand Santa Fe, NM or the southwest in general. I grew up there though and it's just very depressing and weird to me. I'm glad to be in the PNW but I do miss Portland, OR. Seattle's alright but I dunno.

I mean there are some better off than others. My friend in elementary school's family had a crazy huge house. His dad ran a funeral home. I forget what his mom did but she ran for public office at some point and had some sort of connection with the Clintons I think? Local teens hang out at the Sonic or drown drunk in the river during the summer.

Also going to add the Hemet/San Jacinto valley in California. San Jacinto has always been a little bad, but Hemet has taken a long road to shittiness. I grew up in Hemet for the most part, and due to the housing market crash (Most of the people buying houses in the housing community were construction workers who's job was to build these same housing communities) plus the city's following appetite to increase it's population through developing more section 8 housing, the place has become ground zero for drug and robbery related crime (with murder sprinkled as topping). It use to be a decent city that was known for it's wealthy retirement residence, but that's long gone.

Housing/real estate is one third of British Columbia's economy and foreign investment was so crazy that they just haphazardly slapped a 15% tax on any foreign home purchase in Vancouver, which may have started a crash. Too early to say yet. Condos say a thousand words though: 1992: 2016:

Boise is fine. It's not exciting. Most places are worse, though. We don't have natural disasters outside of wildfires. We don't have to deal with high crime rates or collapsing industry. The climate is...eh. Better than most cities in America. As a kid I almost ended up in Lakeport, CA so that would have sucked. Or we could have stayed in Oroville and stopped book learnin after 5th grade.

Aherla, Ireland. Middle of nowhere, 10 miles equidistant from other middles-of-nowheres. I lived for 10 of the worst years of my life in Aherla, in a house about half a mile outside of the main village. The village itself consisted of: -one tiny shop the size of a shed, which contained yellowing copies of the National Enquirer that had Vampire Baby on the cover, and rental videos that were clearly bought broken from the XtraVision branch 15 miles down the road, -a row of magnolia houses that were populated exclusively by elderly people and their adult children who never moved out, either because they didn't want to or had a mental disability where they couldn't take care of themselves, -a Shed World. Excitement afoot. -a headstone maker, and -two pubs. One across the road from the other. The less piss-stinking of the two became famous in Cork for being the place where "The Langer Song" was recorded. Everyone waves at you, whether they've seen you before or not. The whole village and its outskirts smells of slurry and garbage bags, due to the sheer amount of garbage bags being dumped by passing cars into the ditches. The one person of note that existed in the village was an old woman, who, rumour has it was a successful scientist at one point or another, who drove this old red banger of a hatchback, with two giant German Shepherds eternally sitting in the back. Nobody was able to stand next to this woman whenever she appeared in the tiny shop, because not only was she smothered in layers upon layers of dog hair, but she also had a strong resistance to water, soap and shampoo, which made her smell like her clothes contained baubles of varying sizes in the armpit and crotch areas. Aherla. Not even once.

drunk asian neighbor posted:Realtalk I went to college in the Lehigh Valley, PA. You can either stay in the big cities (Allentown or Bethlehem) which are poverty and crime-ravaged collapsed steel industry cities (Billy Joel wrote a song about Allentown I think?), or you can drive 20 minutes out through the poverty and crime-ravaged collapsed steel industry towns with fun names like Mechanicsburg and Orefield. Nice areas to drive around smoking pot with friends though! lol I have also been stabbed on the Lehigh campus, back in 2010. Everyone at that school is super addicted to coke.
