There's are reasons why Wyoming isn't crowded.

And those reasons aren't good.

Sparsely populated states are sparsely populated because they're not desirable for a myriad of reasons.

If people wanted to live in those kinds of slum infested rat holes they would. Not every American wants to live in someone elses armpit.

Wyoming is the quintessential red state.

An undesirable dump.

I grew up in the East Valley of Phoenix suburbs. Far from an armpit. Don't remember seeing any rats.

Metro area doesn't imply "slum."

It implies easy access to things that matter.

I couldn't have said it better! Why people in large metropolitan areas think they live in utopia is beyond me.

You don't have to live IN one.

But it's damn sure ideal to live NEAR one. And by near, I don't mean having to drive 3 hours to get there.

Ideal for you. But not necessarily for those who choose to live in Wyoming.

Then go start your own damn thread......what is this thread about...?

OBVIOUS it is not what you are talking about....


I can read and comprehend? Can YOU comprehend? Does not seem like it...
