-North Dakota: would like to visit, but -20F winters are not for me.
-Minnesota and Wisconsin: ditto N.D. (except Milwaukee, Madison, and Minneapolis-St. Paul)
-Arkansas (except Northwest AR)
-Florida
-Alabama (except Mobile and Baldwin Counties)
-The really dirty and/or crime-ridden neighborhoods of any city

The rest of America I'm willing to keep an open mind about.
In Ohio, I wouldn't mind living in Columbus and places south of there, drove through last summer, but I wouldn't live in northern Ohio, too cold and depressing, especially Cleveland and places like Akron. The winters are bleak and endless, coupled with the Rust Belt feel. Columbus still felt liek a bustling city and didn't have that feeling of decline.

The Inland California cities such as Modesto, Stockton, Fresno, and Bakersfield.

Also, any place that has high crime and is dangerous, has too many shallow/superficial/corrupted people, and/or is too politically/socially conservative(And some of the places I already mentioned may fall under any of these categories).
So you don't want a lot of shallow/superficial corrupted people, yet you also don't like conservatives, well good luck then! Most of the shallow people are yuppie types and they usually are liberals.

Why is that? I tend to really like double first names, ESPECIALLY in girls, some of the prettiest names to me are Carol Ann, LeAnn, Bobbi Jean, Peggy Sue and Mary Beth.

You need to get your facts straight! the south is not ALL redneck! I admit that some places are( Georgia!) but not all of the south! And where I live I am only 15 min. from Austin Texas and that is very urban!!!!!!!!!!!! And it has no more racism than anywhere else! It is prettttyy hot here( 100 degrees in the summer) so you guys are lucky that it is very cool in the summertime where you live. I cant believe you said "Also its already hot enough in Cleveland in the summer" that is extremely cool. Not even close to hot not even close to warm actually! And I hope your not one of those people who tries to intimidate our accents because you make us sound like rednecks and we are not!!!!! We don't say yall all the time either. In fact i don't say it at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ya whose the bigger one NOW!

No one down here has double names and nobody says down yonder unless people like you are trying to make fun of us and make themselves look stupid!!!!!

How come all the best places to live are Liberal Cities? mmmm. It does appear the south has the lowest quality of life.
