What good is local quality of life if you can't afford to actually live there?

You can't afford to live in Oregon? The state overall is pretty cheap to live in.

I agree that opinion and preference can affect one's perspective, but based on the above, I doubt that what we may disapprove about another region would qualify our homeland as superior quality in general.

Yes. We all know we never twist numbers to prove our own bigoted points. I mean voter turn out is so important to quality of life.

I agree. If there was a state that was composed of all white bunkers with gun ports, a lot of people would think that was the ideal state to live in. Many would have C-D accounts.

How dare they base their numbers on things that matter like education, jobs, income, safety, health/mortality rate, environment, civic engagement, accessibility to services and housing.

How dare they lie about those numbers make the south look bad! They must be leftist pigs!

^^this.

"slow pace of life" in the SE also translates to no infrastructure. One of the top ten "dirty secrets" of the amerikan south. lol.

quality of life = banning books even in private high schools in the south, like "To Kill a Mockingbird" in 2014.
Yes, indeed quite an accomplishment. Just glad my kids never went to school here.
