The ignorant haters can stay in Cow Pie, AK where it is cheap but lacking opportunities and amenities.

Personally, I feel most of this is motivated by jealousy because they know they are not successful enough to make it in the big city so they mindlessly attack that which they secretly want but know they cannot have. It's sad really.

You attack others for use facts in the statements, calling them "elitist", or "Nazis" or "Racist"
or "Stormfront members" all the while you make broad based culture, social and economical statements...

I hope you enjoy California, and its massive costs of living, for a standard of living that is falling year after year.

My standard of living is great and most certainly not falling.

Yes, it costs a bit more to live in paradise where you love each day and you have tons of cultural amenities, fine restaurants, and job opportunities but that's just supply and demand and I find it is worth every penny.

Absolutely, one can have a lower cost of living moving to Hogville, Mississippi but you'll be giving up a cosmopolitan lifestyle, the best restaurants, a comfortable climate and possibly dentistry.

There is a reason the places that have a high cost of living have a high cost of living, they are in high demand.

Ayn Rand... reality...

Read one of her BIOGRAPHIES, not just her silly books. NO ONE was better at "ignoring reality" than Ayn Rand

Perhaps you can make an intelligent point or two without the sweeping stereotyping of small town USA.

But then again..perhaps not.
