Poll has spoken, the midwest is superior.
The poll can say whatever in C-D fantasy land. These are the same people that think living in a rowhouse instead of a detached home with a driveway and a fenced yard is cool. The south is more desirable to people in the real world than the midwest. Atlanta is far more intergrated than any Midwest city. Chicago, Minneapolis, Cleveland, and so on are all segregated. My neighbors are of all shades and we live in harmony.

Indianapolis is an intergrated city.

To say the south as a whole is booming is BEYOND ridiculous. Aside from a select hand full of cities and only cause of the northern transplants the majority of the south is very stagnant and that's a fact.

-He's absolutely correct on the obesity rates, check the CDC statistics (google search is your friend)
-Midwest summers are NOWHERE near as humid
- There's attractive and unattractive people everywhere, but I find most southern women to be very dull and bland personality wise.
-Most southern cities are integrated? Ok you're out of your mind and have officially lost the little bit of credibility you had.

No the south is more desirable to YOU. Apparently you can't handle other peoples subjective opinions that are opposite of yours therefore you resort to trolling and throwing around childish insults. You and your neighbors live in racial harmony, great sounds like a script for a lifetime movie but the reality is ATL doesn't represent the entire south. That's as ridiculous as saying NYC represents the entire Northeast.
