USA Lemmies: Where do you live?

I comment a lot on stories having to do with state governments and legislation or regions of the country. It got me wondering how many people I'm accidentally disparaging when I don't mean everyone in said state or region is terrible. So… Please be as specific or obtuse as your privacy filter requires. I'll start:

I'm in the Bay Area, specifically Oakland. Despite Bay Area hate from some posters, I think it's great. How about you?

Man, the closest I ever give to my location is in the south, in the Appalachians. Nobody needs to know more than that online, and fuck anyone that doesn't like it lol.

Every state here has dumb shit going on all the time. Political stupidity, economic stupidity, environmental stupidity, you name it, there's something stupid going on in any given subject matter in most states. You find one that's great at one thing, they'll be horrible in another. Mind you, I'm talking the people; the land itself is incapable of stupidity, what with being mostly dirt and plants.

Anyway. If you're worried about disparaging people in a given state, just do what I do (and just did). Blame the idiots in California for a given issue, but don't specify who you think the idiots are. Nobody objects to those other people that are idiots being disparaged. Why would they? Those other people are morons.

That's not even a joke. I mean, it's meant to be vaguely humorous, but it's legit.

Santa Cruz, CA. Hi neighbor!

One of my favorite small cities. Would live there if I could, but it's unfortunately too expensive.

Yeah, way too expensive for us as well so we're actually planning on moving to the other side of the bay. We are not renting, thankfully, but we're pretty squeezed and moving elsewhere in Santa Cruz requires paying ridiculous amounts of money I cannot justify.

Currently in Oakland too! Wish more bay area folk would find their way here so I can stop relying on the subreddit🙃

Have a lot of friends in the bay area and have visited Oakland a few times. Lovely place. Fuck the haters!

I live in Urbana, Illinois. In couple of days. I'll be going on a mission to Moon to help the USAA with the set up of one their bases, Clavius Base.

I actually kind of love Michigan. It’s a beautiful state and the people are generally kind and friendly. But it does have some bullshit, especially when you get outside the cities. Though I suppose that’s true everywhere.

Within driving distance of a former presidential candidate's childhood home (hopefully he doesn't ask for money again), in the great state that still won't apologize for its cheese.
