Maybe Westlake or Sulphur can smell the plants.
I grew up in south LC and now live downtown.
I honestly never recall smelling the plants except when I drove by them, which is not actually LC.
But for the expansions going on in the LC area right now, this state would be even worse than the 4th highest unemployment rate in the nation.

As much as I dislike JBE, he is thanking G-d for the economy of LC right now!

I have also traveled quite a bit and listened to people whine plenty. Every single place has redeeming qualities. If you are in Newark, then go a few miles in another direction and find something nice. It is close enough to the nice parts of NJ to drive. Go stay in morristown and drive/uber 20 minutes (or whatever the actual commute is). It is really the same with everywhere, if you don't like where you are staying, move, especially if you are traveling for work. This goes for the US and other countries.

Nj.
Huge swamp in South central. Largest fresh water aquifer in usa.
Northwest nj is wild, upland.
The barrier islands have great fishing and beaches.
Get out more. Its spectacular.

I am stuck here for work this week, and it's awful. Hair gel, tribal band tattoos, steroids and bad spray tan are on every douche bag in this fricking city.
The city is unkept, the weeds are overgrown everywhere, and the whole city smells like shite. The food is bland and shitty. The traffic sucks and the real estate is overpriced and that's the nice areas. NJ hoods are as bad as anywhere else.
Chicago has nice areas. Baltimore has history and a reemerging yuppie side. Detroit has the remnants of the auto industry I guess.
Everything in New Jersey sucks.
I shite on the Northeast enough, but I will say that a lot of New Jersey is actually very nice. Get away from the tribal tat/hair gel parts and the couple of hellhole urban wastelands (Camden, Trenton, etc.), and most of the state is very nice. It has the highest or second-highest median income in the country for a reason.
And Chicago is the best place in America in the summer.

Is Colorado considered Midwest? I always think of it as the Mountain West.

Indiana is pretty bad. Definitely the worst state in the Midwest. It's the worst state in terms of aesthetics IMO.
As an Illinois resident and denizen of the region for a decent while on and off, I will stridently disagree with that.
Outside of Chicagoland, Illinois is just hard to take. There is virtually no redeeming aesthetic beauty in Illinois outside of the urban beauty of Chicago at all. Southern Indiana (even if it has economically suffered a lot the last twenty years or so) is at the very least aesthetically pleasing, and the natural beauty of southeastern Indiana is way better than anything in Illinois. Bloomington, for instance, is eons better than any college town in Illinois.
As far as natural beauty in the Midwest goes, it's something like this:
1. Michigan (by a long shot, really - really underrated as far as most beautiful states in the U.S. go, in my opinion)
2. Minnesota
3. Wisconsin
4. Ohio
5. Indiana
6. Iowa
7. Illinois
If you include the Dakotas, South Dakota is way up there (probably #2), while North Dakota is in the middle or towards the bottom. Kansas and Nebraska are near the bottom, and Missouri would be in the middle or upper-middle if you include them.

That would make more sense. You just rarely hear that designation outside of the college sports conference. Though anything east of Denver metro is basically Kansas/Nebraska.

Colorado is definitely Mountain West.
Denver and Salt Lake City are essentially the cultural and economic capitals of the Mountain West of the U.S. I don't think anyone from Iowa or Ohio or Chicago would consider Colorado remotely Midwestern.
You can roughly trace a line from San Antonio to DFW to OKC to Wichita to Lincoln to Sioux Falls to Fargo, and everything west of there to the foothills of the mountains is what I would classify as the Old West or the High Plains - definitely not the Midwest.

You do realize anyone can travel across the US. Get a job with a big contractor. You'll visit all over the world. But traveling for work has a lot of cons.

Most of West Virginia is pretty awful. Aside from the natural beauty of the mountains infrastructure is shite, meth addiction, no jobs, soul crushing poverty. The people, albeit uneducated, are friendly so there's that.

I prefer it in the summer, when most of the students are gone and many of the homeowners go on vacation.
Still really nice but with 50% fewer assholes.
