Which of these congressional districts would you most want to live in?

[Хahar 🤔]

MN-5.

CA-48 being last, of course.

Really? I thought you'd take one of the suburban ones (just one outside of SoCal).

No, MN-5 looks cool. And I like its Congressman.

CA-48. I don't know many people who'd pass up a chance to live in Orange County.

You mean Hell on Earth?

Eh. But you see dude, that's my thing. So I'm partial to it, LOL. If I ever become independently wealthy in the soulless corporate job I’m aiming to get, I so am moving out there. I know Orange County is depicted as this vapid place with a bunch of airheads, but I LOVE stuff like that, I can’t begin to tell you how much. It's my picture of heaven on earth really. Maybe that says something about me, heh.

It says a lot about you. That you like the evil part of the state.

It's only my second favorite county in the state. You'd be really suprised at the first.

Is it a good place? Or a WTF place like Trinity County?

Torie, you can't accuse me of stereotyping. I've been down to Orange County. Too many times to count, in fact. And oh my gosh, it's horrible. Everything about it, down to the way the hills are cut into and terraced for extra housing. And especially that cookie-cutter ballfield you got down by 5 (note the lack of a definite article in front of the number 5), and that team that plays in it 81 times a year.

Rant over.

Colusa County, so more the latter. I'm a weird person if you’ve not already noticed.

COLUSA??////////////////////////

I no longer have an opinion of you. You defy opinions.

What's wrong with MN-05? Too cold?

Weather is actually the main reason I favored Southern California.  This icy winter bullsh**t gets old quick.

The main problem with MN-05, however, is how isolated I'd feel living in the Midwest, even in a city of size.  I have little desire to actually live there out of fear I'd be bored senseless, and it's just not close enough to other desirable cities should I want to escape for a weekend.

On the east coast, things are much more "consistently dense," and there simply aren't gigantic swaths of nothing like there are in the midwest.  (I'm not saying Hartford or Providence are terrific, ideal cities, but they beat a mosquito-infested lake or broad swath of cornfield.)  New York is only about three or four hours away by car, whereas I'm sure there's even another city worth visiting within four hours of Minneapolis.

Certainly, MN-05 is not my lowest ranked—I'd be waaaaay more miserable in the south (the gay thing) or Nebraska (yawn).  I figure I could probably get a beyond fancy luxury loft in Minneapolis for what I'm paying now in Somerville and live pretty well, but I'm just not really into the MN "scene."

Weather? Southern California weather is horrible.

Of course, this comes from me, so you may not trust it.
