I hope we see a cultural shift toward recognizing that so-called "flyover country" is actually ripe for re-development and cultural renewal. There are tens of thousands of small towns and cities in the Midwest in which buying a house is still possible for the average middle-class person. The main issue, of course, is the lack of jobs in the area, but with remote work growing, that might become less of an issue.
My problem with the places is the regressive conservatives that live there and the abhorrent cultural beliefs in place.
Not going to move there until there's a seismic shift away from racism, conservatism, hypocrisy etc.
