One of the nice things about the United States is that it is big enough that everyone can find their own niche. I moved to a rural area after a five-year stent in one of the worst cities in the US. I thought that I was “getting away from stressful city life.“ It was supposed to be a temporary move but life was just so pleasant. A year or so into it I realized that the reason it was stress-free is because there are no minorities no gay people and no immigrants. Maybe they run 10 to 15% of total population. Feels good man.
Wages dropped 40%. Cost of living dropped 20%.
Worth it.
