US state with the most rude and elitist people? (cons, expensive, metro)

[jgamibi]

Alright, give it a go.

My vote goes to New Jersey with Massachusetts being a close second.

San Francisco

There is a mythology about the area that mystifies people when they go there to find out its not like it was hyped to be.

Its very expensive, people are less friendly than other metro areas, the "diversity" is mainly White and Asian groups with a smattering of blacks, hispanics and others who are usually localized to certain (usually crappy) areas (like Oakland or Hayward).

Its not "liberal" in the classical, imagined sense of the word. Such as a sense of sexual freedom, expression of individuality, tolerance (real liberalism). Its a contrived, phony, sort of psuedo-conservatism. NIMBY and anti-fun attitudes abound. If your having fun, your neighbors or the cops will probably shut it down eventually.

Cookie-cutter hipsters in SF are the closest it gets to "individuality". Folks will literally socially isolate you if you hold a slightly different view of a political issue that is held dear to a level of high fanaticism (such as environmentalism).

Shallow, boring, un-fun, low-self esteem people. Plenty of scenesters, status whores, fake liberal yuppies, social climbers and wannabes. Genuineness is a rare, precious commodity.

I am mainly speaking of SF but make no mistake the boringness is pretty much also a feature everywhere else in the Bay Area.

The moral of the story is: go somewhere else, have fun, and enjoy being a young person and all that entails. Be around real people.
