Exactly!

New York, California, Texas, and Georgia have the most posters on the forum. Therefore, you're going to hear the most from them.

Cali, Texas, and NY are the most populous states, they're also some of the biggest geographically- That seems to be a logical reason.

As for your "chime in" part-

The thing about Florida is that a lot of us come from other places lol. I'm proud to be born and raised in the New York area though .

I was just pointing out that the states that you hear about the most on City vs. City are the states with the most posters. Florida may be 4th most populous, but Georgia has more representation here.

Aye, I hear you.

#1: Texas

As a Californian, I am proud of every single US state. After all, they would literally just be lines on a map if they had no meaning, and every single US state contributes to the greatness of the United State.

Imagine if the US was a unitary state where the central government could draw and redraw subnational entities (IE US states) at a whim? We wouldn't NEARLY have as much attachment to our states, but probably identify ourselves more with the region of the country we're from AND even more to the cities we're from. Of course, that would defeat the whole purpose of the US being called the United States.

With that being said, I always find something special about every state I visit. However, it IS nice to come home to this, despite all the problems:



If anything, I encourage EVERY American to see more of our great country. Be proud of who you are and where you're from!
