So you could never live in a red state because it’s differs from your views but you love diversity? 🤔

You seem to be jumping to conclusions. Deep red areas don’t typically offer a lot of diversity. There are exceptions, of course. I am sorry you misunderstood my point.

I can’t imagine caring that much about being around other people who have the same political views as I do that I’d be willing to move to a different state/province.

There are places that do though. Straight party votes in my area are about 70 % GOP, yet it is pretty laid back and tolerant. It is also adjacent to what is consistently one of the top ten most diverse cities in the country. One of only three not in California, meaning, living here is affordable.

Understood. But I prefer living in an area that isn’t just tolerant. I like to be part of a community that embraces and celebrates all kinds of diversity. Ethnic, religious, cultural, etc. Just my preference.
 
New York, Chicago, Houston and various California cities are the one on the list.
 
Yeah I hear that. There is definitely some non-religious influence, but generally speaking I think your probably right. Utah is great but the people can be a bit closed minded in my honest opinion.
 
Red and blue-think suborns bigotry. My only destination is the Beatific Vision. And, I only hope to make it there.
 
Absolutely. I’ve always loved shoveling snow. One of the most stress relieving things ever.
 
Not to derail the thread, but yes, the Grand Canyon is breathtakingly beautiful.
 
I would NEVER live in a red state. I can say that now because my state just flipped to blue.

Most of them are in the middle of the U.S. From a psychological standpoint, I think it would give me claustrophobia to be so completely landlocked.

I know it’s weird, but I’ve always felt that way. I’m a mid-Atlantic person: Changes of seasons, sufficient rainfall, and within a few hours of the Atlantic coast.

I’d never live in the deep south because it’s just too hot there and southern culture never appealed to me.
 
It would give me claustrophobia to be so land locked but I live near one of the Great Lakes so it’s a passable substitute for me.

Plus there are gorgeous wineries all around me and I like having four seasons.

I wouldn’t live in the South, it’s too hot and humid.

If I had my way, I would live in the Pacific Northwest. I like rain and snow.
