1. Racism/other general hate _ you never lived in the Northeast
Just kidding, baws

1. Climate - Every state had bad weather
I hate swamp arse, I hate high humidity. Give me 30 degrees any day over a heat index of 110 any day. It's nice to sit on the porch in July and not sweat. People actually eat outside here, and it's not a punishment.

2. Roads and general infrastructure - You never lived in the northeast
I'm always reminded around the holidays how bad the roads in Louisiana and Mississippi are when I come home to visit family. Frick. Also, there seem to be more leaning and dilapidated power poles in the South than in other states. The bridges suck.

3. Insurance costs - You have never lived in the northeast
My relatives in Mississippi pay nearly double what I do for similar coverage on similar assets. I've heard Louisiana is even worse.

4. General trashiness - You never lived in the metro areas of the Northeast
It seems like there's litter everywhere. I always forget how bad it is.

Montana and move there tomorrow. The weather there was phenomenal


I think the dead of winter in Montana will not be phenomenal.

I agree with you on all of these. I live in a great city in MS but have to work in the not so nice areas.

I hate the general rudeness, complete lack of manners and stupidity I have to deal with from the major demographic here. I hate summers here also. I tell my wife all the time that I want to move where people are normal and summers aren’t totally miserable. But her oppositional defiance disorder kicks in and she immediately shoots it down.

I agree that the racism in the South is unmatched


The South is the least racist part of the country. Racism is a made up media construct to manipulate voters and help people gain power. The media has convinced you that racism is rampant. So what do you say? You say well I’m not racist, it’s the other guy. I’m not racist, but my neighbor must be. See how that works? But yet none of us seem to have a problem in our daily interactions with other people of all races. If racism were such a big problem, don’t you think you would eventually run into some problems in your daily life just based on race? Yet I’m willing to bet that you don’t.

Because in reality, when you mention racism, you mean white people against blacks. Nobody ever thinks of anything other than that. Yet black and white people coexist and get along fine every day around the South. So stop being a sheeple and realize that it’s just a bunch of propaganda. And I’m guessing you don’t even live in the true south. You’re just regurgitating what your media overlords bombard you with every day.
