here is the example of the east/west coast bias. Lived in Nebraska all my life and love to visit the ocean and stuff but always feel much better when I get back home. Everyone is not so uptight and you can actually think before making stupid comments about the midwest.

By all means, stay away from the midwest. You probably would **** it and we would **** you. As anywhere, when the need to escape hits, we have lots of airplanes and highways so getting away is pretty easy.

I was born in Detroit in the Heart of the city and I live in a very small town in Iowa now and I love it here. I can go to bed at night and if I am sleeping in my bed and all of a sudden I realize I forgot to take the keys out of my car I know I can get up in AM and my car is still going to be here! If I get a flat tire on the way to Omaha ( an hour & a half drive from here) I KNOW that someone will stop to help me fix it and I won’t get ***** or robbed and if I try to pay that person for helping me they will more than likely refuse the $$$.And if I feel like I need to be in the Big City with all the lights etc.. Omaha will do it for me!! But to each his own I guess!

I was born and raised in Michigan – a secluded part in the north woods. I thought that everything was bigger and better in the urban areas on the east coast. All the shopping and restaurants, etc. Well, I’ve been living in the DC metro area for a while now, and there’s nothing I want more than to live on the shores of Lake Superior again. In the big cities (east coast, west coast, mid-west, whatever) you have too much crime, overpopulation, and people who have no manners and no regard for others. Life doesn’t have to be as difficult as people make it in the huge urban areas. Sometimes, it’s just nice to take it easy and know that, even though you may not have tons of malls everywhere… you’re safe and there is more beauty in looking out at a sunset over a peaceful field or lake, than never seeing a sunset because there’s a cluster of townhouses in the way.

Not in the slightest, there’s nothing like the Ozarks for me. No, it’s not the sea, but there are plenty of bodies of water all around, state and national parks, heritage everywhere you look, nooks and crannies you wouldn’t believe. I’ve lived 5 different places on a coast and I loved them all, but I am here to tell you, if you don’t know America’s Heartland, you have no idea what you’re missing.

I like living in the midwest. clean air, no traffic jams, low crime rate, low cost of living.
I have been to New York City, Boston, Chicago, etc. It is fun to visit but I could never live there.
I guess it is what I and you feel comfortable with.

I imagine there are thousands if not millions of us without green cards who would just love to be allowed to live anywhere in the Mid West…
