The four major cities in the south are fine to live...... Dallas, Houston, Atlanta and Miami

There is no way in hell that I would enjoy living anywhere else in the south

Also, let me add that it's ok to split the north into two regions (northeast and midwest), but the south is one

Boston to D.C. is a 460 mile "region"
So within that distance... i could name one.

The West:
Los Angeles (2)
San Diego (8)
Phoenix (5)
San Francisco (13)
San Jose (10)



The south might as well claim the U.S...
They consider themselves half the damn country..
Houston/Dallas are perfect, the rest of the south is just
Miami is great to visit, horrible to live.

I could live in any of those Northern Cities. I could not live in any of those Southern cities.

Um, when I flew over Texas going to Las Vegas, all I saw were farms as far as the eye can see. I've flown over NY state many times. You mostly see mountains and forests when flying over upstate. Not nearly as many farms as you think.

Now, that is arrogance

dude you get ticked off by a couple tees? your weird...and why does your location say Virginia Beach?

all this bickering between "northerners" and "southerners" while california just holds down the country as the most populated,dominating, and influential state in the country

west coast>______

Even on the NYS Thruway Upstate you will see, "Next Rest Area for GAS and Services (Toilets) 50 MILES", as in you better fill up or take a leak NOW, or you will be calling the State Troopers to come up with a gas can, or peeing off the side of a road.
Been there done that lol!

I think the regions in this poll are way too vague.

Actually where I live in NC, it's nothing but NEW YORKERS, wearing those shirts. I dont see too many non-new yorkers wearing them.

When you move, it's different. You aren't a local anymore. My mom and sister bought I love NY shirts when they moved away (sister moved back though, mom will soon).

I see way more of "I (heart) PR" and "I (heart) DR" hardly ever see I love NY by locals.
