Numbers don’t lie. I’m looking at the cost of housing in Throg’s Neck, since that’s the example you gave.
No way can you be in poverty and afford it. You might be house poor or apartment poor, but that ain’t poverty.
You may not be comfortable in the area, but that doesn’t make it a slum.
I said Throg's Neck Bridge. I have no idea what the names of any of the neighborhoods are as I come into the city from the north and eventually get to that bridge to get me over to Long Island. By time I get to the bridge I have already driven through multiple neighborhoods and am almost out of NYC. The poverty #'s are per NYC government themselves. I know there are lots of rich people and wealthy neighborhoods in NYC, but there is also massive levels of poverty.
My original point is that California's high population does not automatically translate into it being a better place to live than Wyoming. It just has more people is all. I then used an example closer to home for me. NYC does have more poor people than even live in Vermont. Even if there was no poverty in NYC, simply having a higher population doesn't automatically make NYC a better place to live.
In the end, each State offers something that attracts or retains people. I personally could never live in a warm or dry climate, nor in an urban area. I think Vermont's climate is just about ideal. That its cold in Wyoming in winter is a plus, not a negative. If I never experienced another day over 75 I'd be a happy man. I'd go with Wyoming any day over California, but others think California is the place to be.
You all know the point if this thread is to get us to complain and attack each other, right? As are nearly all the threads the OP starts.
Exactly. OP gets a biweekly pay check from the Kremlin.
Guess what, I live in a heavily blue state. I also enjoy visiting states like West Virginia, Arkansas, Ohio, Tennessee, Kentucky and South Carolina. Love Georgia too btw. Believe it or not, you don't have to hate other parts of the country just for politics. The entire country has something to offer in every nook and cranny.

There is no state I don't like or wont visit. Sure, we ridicule some, but it's all in good fun. We're all Americans here. Even residents of Georgia.

Throg’s Neck Bridge crosses from the Bronx to Queens, and the Bronx side of the bridge is Throg’s Neck, Bronx. Real estate that’s far more expensive than where you live.
In any case, California is simply more desirable than Wyoming. Simply put, this cannot be denied with any seriousness. It’s a fact. Your thinking is anomalous. Few people would ever choose Wyoming over California if they had the choice to choose one or the other and they had the financial wherewithal to make it in California.
There is no such song as ‘Wyoming Dreaming.’ Know why? Because no one dreams of living there. There is no song with lyrics that say ‘I wish they all could be Wyoming girls.’ There is no song called ‘Hotel Wyoming.’
Yeah, wallethub.com is a great place to go for people that never passed an economics class but want to provide a source that is utterly meaningless.
