I can thank the poster that told me(and I heard it from several others) about Perry County PA, and THRILLED I didn't move there, sure it's cheap to live, etc but it is the Alabama of PA. The worst shotgun toting pickup driving & drinking county in PA, real redneck.
I think what you are saying is that you are unsuited to live anywhere rural in the US.
my goodness - where is all the Jersey support! I love this state and am staying put. Of course there are many great places to live in this country but overall, NJ is always "home" for me. Sure, the taxes are high and real estate is epensive - yada yada yada. It comes with the territory I guess. I lived in Chicago for a few years and loved every minute of it. But in the end, I am back to Joisey. My family is hear, friends, etc. That is what is the most important in the long run. I spent some time in Virginia, Texas, and North Carolina as well. I certainly found some beautiful areas in these states, and of course the prices of everything are much better. But good lord - I would never last in any of these states long term! NJ not only is "home" for me, but as much as I complain about the expenses, I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. I love being close to New York City, the best city in the world. Not to mention I am close to Skiing in the winter, the beach in the summer, Philly, Atlantic City, - shall I go on?? Location cannot be beat - I have done road trips to Boston, NC, SC, Rhode Island, Virginia, Maine, PA, good lord I could go on and on. I would shoot myself if I was stuck in the south or the midwest for a long time.
If I could move back to the Midwest, esp. NE Wisconsin, I would do it in a heartbeat! I have lived throughout the US and England. No place compares to Wisconsin in my eyes. What one person finds endearing, makes another person hurl. That is life. And that is a good thing.

Everything is relative.
