You should probably travel a little. There are tons of cool, livable farm to tableish type communities across the mid west. Hipsters and crunchy granola galore. Also cool music and art. Or just decent MYOB communities, except when neighbors help neighbors in times of need. There are still fairs, rodeos, bandstands and parades. Libraries and castles from the robber barons, odd little museums, heritage cuisines from pockets of migrants ranging from Norwegians to Laotians. When's the last time you enjoyed anything except a freaking protest  or "safety walk" as a "community event" in DC? And not to mention the people across the midwest who break the stereotypes, like BLM supporting old school skinhead punks, dentists on motorcycles, hardworking feminists. Take a road trip. Stop hating your fellow Americans. A lot of America is really quite nice. Or just see what you want to see.[/quote]

Name some of these communities.

Much of the Midwest is composed of rural communities long past their heyday with an aging and embittered population trending ever rightward, and deindustrialized urban cores with crime and poverty issues that often match or exceed DC’s problems.[/quote]

"Sioux Falls is about as Midwest as you can get — in all the best ways. With stunning geography, a vibrant culture, and a safe and family-friendly environment, this South Dakota city consistently ranks as one of the fastest growing cities in the nation with booming businesses and projected job growth of 5% by 2023."

Also named as one of the healthiest cities in the US ..just sayin'  .  [/quote]

Sioux Falls is a city, not a rural community.[/quote]
