LOL @ trying to blame Philly's blight on NJ.

Tacoma WA and Portland OR
California's Central Valley, East Bay, LA and Orange County
All of Nevada and Oklahoma
Yuma and Tucson AZ
Any place with many trains going through it
Any place with a preponderance of oil derricks
Any place near an open pit mining operation
Any place with smokestacks as landmarks
Any place with high summer humidity, swamps, or bugs to deal with on a regular basis
EVERY place south and east of a line from Las Cruces NM to Chicago IL
Lower Michigan

I can only find one exception to these guidelines and I'm not telling anyone where it is!

Hey, what's wrong with lower Michigan? Not all of it is Detroit or Flint.

I could never live in the NYC metro area. Don't get me wrong, I think NYC is a great city but it's just too much "action" for me. It's great to visit or to spend spring break, but I could never imagine living there!

the Northeast.
Cleveland.
Detroit.
Pittsburgh.
West Virginia.
California.
North/ South Dakota.
Wichita.

Don't ask for reasons, these are just the places I thought of off the cuff that don't seem desirable to me.

Wichita. HA!

A city that many have nothing nice to say about.

The midwest, because it's just not for me. I like to be within a drive to a coast.

Same here. I would be uncomfortable living so far from access to the ocean.

I also don't think I'd like to live in one of those places that are completely flat and have no trees. I visited Dallas once and we went to a rodeo about 50 miles outside the city. The whole way it was just FLAT, with no hills at all and very few trees. It was very anxiety producing, like there was nowhere to hide.
