Most of the United States between the Rocky Mountains and the Appalachian Mountains and outside the Ozarks, the Texas Hill Country, and along the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts are not very scenic. Most people don't move to those areas for the scenery or the climate. They move there for the jobs or family ties.
I've always believed there's a reason why the Rust Belt developed in the area of the country that it did. If the US is going to have a "junk yard", it certainly will not be located in an area of the country that is full of breathtakingly beautiful scenic views.
For someone in Texas to call the Midwest thru Mid-Atlantic region a "junk yard" and insinuate not with breaktakingly scenic views ..... is the most ridicules and lacking history of why the most early most industrialized region of the country. Had the most to loose.
Such irony of someone in Texas with hundreds of miles of flat ranchland of Texas that even lacks much green..... of endless stretches. Could label this "rust-belt" region that includes the beauty of the Great Lakes, thru the Appalachian's of my state of PA is unbelievable.
Do you even realize that this "rust-belt" isn't even on the Vast stretches of Prairie or out Great Plaines of total flatness like even much of your Texas.
Hopefully, your Austin city water crisis doesn't become more chronic going on there. Rust-belt cities on the Great Lakes like Milwaukee, Chicago, Cleveland thru Niagara Falls .... certainly never will.

Well, he's not in the ranchlands. So go take your insecurity somewhere else
P.S: stick to Chicago and please stop talking so much about states that you know nothing about.
Nothing boring about Wisconsin or Michigan...no matter what you might think, Ivory Lee.
That’s as bad as saying there’s nothing beautiful about those states. I went to school there and have been all through the Great Lake states. While there is tons of beauty, there’s also no shortage of very boring landscape. Mile after mile of nothing but flat land as far as the eye can see with farms and forest mixed in really isn’t breathtaking scenery. Every state will have areas like this, but when there’s no mountains it gets very monotonous.

Did you bother to read the statement to which he was responding? The one that basically relegated the Rust Belt landscape to a wasteland fit for little more than a garbage dump? I don't agree with a response that in turn throws Texas under the bus, but otherwise I can't say that I blame him.

Wisconsin has lots of hills. There is some flat, but it's the 25th most hilly state, so that's hardly all flat. I find a state without water monotonous. To each his own.
This may have changed in recent decades, but I was told in the 1980s that when architects visited San Jose and asked the local architect's association where the interesting buildings were, they were directed to San Francisco.
