minus-square@SCBlink8•edit-21 year ago Like, Wisconsin is probably cheaper but it might be way more hostile to you if you’re gay or black or otherwise considered an outgroup by the right. Worth noting that Wisconsin is a blue-voting state, generally, that has a heavily gerrymandered legislature. Most of Wisconsin is absolutely nothing like the deep south kind of red state. And even if you’re otherwise an in group, what’re the music, food, and art, scenes like? This is, as you surmise, almost entirely an urban/rural thing.
