If you were raised in Louisiana, most states will seem like a huge improvement.

Even liberal ones. Louisiana had a mask mandate that even super blue states didn't have, for example. And while cities suck anywhere, when you leave there are plenty of red blooded salt of the earth type americans everywhere.

Utah IMO is extremely overrated scenery wise. Where are the trees? And southern Utah is completely jampacked with people.

I have a house in Utah, and I’m there about 65 days per year. You are full of baloney.

Southern Utah is extremely sparsely populated, as is the state in general. And the scenery in Utah is, hands down, the best in the lower 48.

Yeah, but it’s not the same tundra Wyoming is. Get snowed into Rock Springs for three days and then get back to me. That is without question the trashiest town in the United States and has been for around 70 years.

One thing I didn't expect is how nice so many people are here. People are much friendlier than I thought even in metro areas like Denver.


Yeah people smile and wave here which is nice.

If your a metro sexual and don't like fishing or the gulf coast I guess it would be okay

Whenever I see posters talking about how places are “too blue” for them to live in, I just don’t get it.


Visit Seattle or Portland to get an idea of what they mean. The burbs are still right wing in Colorado (save for Boulder) so that does hold some of the madness at bay. Go visit those two cities sometime though. It’s straight out of Dawn of the Dead.

Where do you buy weed in MS? I assume it’s legal since everyone there is so free.


Honestly, Mississippi has very progressive marijuana laws and has for some time. As an underage minor I was way more nervous about being caught with booze than pot. So long as I had less than an ounce it was a misdemeanor with a $75 fine. Alcohol was double that.

Weed is so popular in Mississippi that it got more votes than Trump did in 2020, but a corrupt and evil judge threw it out and he should be thrown in prison for it. Mississippi is the best Southern state when it comes to pot.

I think the Denver area averages around $1800 a month in rent for a studio apartment.


While I’m now a homeowner, had a one bedroom in a decent part of town for $1600 a month.

I’m not saying Utah isn’t pretty, I just think the west coast (particulary PNW) and Colorado are on a different level! Bigger and more beautiful mountains in general imho.

Southern Utah also feels way more touristy than just about anything in Colorado or the PNW to me. South-Central Utah still is fairly empty but southwest and southeast Utah are completely packed. I know the national parks aren’t the best example, but it was a four hour wait to get into Arches last summer. Four... hours.

I love Utah though. We’re comparing two top 5 states in scenery imho, I would happily live in either

Yeah, I don’t think people realize how low the lows get in Wyoming. Like worse than West Virginia. Rock Springs is bar none the worst town in the United States. It’s just next level bad. It’s as if you’ve entered the Overlook Hotel except it’s filled to the brim with toothless prostitutes and violent meth addicts.

My mother in law lived in Denver for seven years. She said since moving to north Louisiana that the winters are much colder than Colorado because of the humidity.


I’m from NW Mississippi, and save for a week or so, yeah the winters feel just as cold here as they do in Oxford. It’s technically 10 degrees colder, but it feels the same. It’s not nearly as cold here as most believe.

Let go of Rock Springs dude, it’s over. It’s one shitty town in a state, every state has them. Colorado has Greeley and a shite ton of others and you know it.

Wyoming is a fricking amazing state. I live in Colorado and would move to Wyoming tomorrow, and no, Rock Springs doesn’t make me hesitate because I WONT MOVE THERE.

Colorado can frick off with its politics, I’ve had enough.

Greeley isn’t in the same hemisphere as Rock Springs. Rock Springs is bar none the biggest shithole in the US.

That’s West Kansas.

Wyoming’s good points are better than CO. CO has a lot of good points though.
