Be prepared for a complete 180 in just about every way possible compared to northern Michigan. Hays has no trees at all compared to Michigan, but the skies/thunderstorms are quite amazing out there.
People don't move across the country to find a place exactly like they left, do they?

Hays isn't exactly Midwestern. It is more High Plains/Western.

If you have ever lived or driven through Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, or Wisconsin you would know that it is a complete 180 difference compared to western Kansas.

I did read it.

Well, if they are expecting lots of greenery and a good amount of trees like the Midwest has they will be disappointed I just find mostly brown, semi-arid/windy areas to be undesirable places to live personally.

Most people prefer lush green grass and wooded landscapes. That is the prime reasons why most suburban areas of KC are so wooded along with KENTUCKY bluegrass. A wooded lot also often adds to overall property value of a well maintained house. Hmm, Easterners came to KC and then recreated much of the natural landscape from the states further to the east. It doesn't surprise me at all. Heck, I even had silver maple, sugar maple, white pine, and birch trees that grew in our yard in Overland Park.

If one could transpose the economy of TX into MI or OH I think many more people would desire to live there given the low cost of living, well regarded colleges, and four seasons. I am very fair skinned so I could never live in TX. The sun would do me in.

Low well sir if you transpose the TX economy with OH and MI the cost of living up there wouldn't be low anymore would it? The rust belt states have been ravaged in the last couple decades thus the low cost of living.

Remember that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, your idea of beauty and mine could be completely opposite. Is it really necessary to belittle every place that doesn't fit YOUR ideal of beautiful when someone posts a question? I mean really. Why are you so miserable, if you don't like where you live, move.

No, I am not miserable at all. You also have little understanding of the Great Lakes states either. The broad brush Rust Belt term is applicable to some areas, but definitely not other areas.

However the states we were talking about, MI and OH, are in the rust belt. I don't know what goes on in your head but i'm talking about what you type. How do you know what I know about the Great Lake States I've lived in 10 States in this country and spent considerable time in 83 great large US cities including ALL the big ones (keep a diary). I've seen you post your grandiose experience of residency in Kansas City, Indiana, and New Hampshire, and now 4 mos in Louisville.

I have lived in two cities in Indiana and had an internship in the Chicagoland area. I have covered and visited most Great Lakes towns and cities by car so I know the area quite well.

Actually Hays is not a bad place. It is by far the best city in western Kansas. I lived there for a year and a half.
