This is like my fourth time being shocked at how based some "fly over state" I mostly knew as "St.Louis and its ilk" is. I'm not kidding when I say I took a look at housing prices and grocery store ads for some Missouri towns away from StL and the Kansas City area. There's some serious potential out there for a good life.
Not only is there potential, people actually already live in that untamed frontier between urban shit holes. Imagine that - people living free in a “fly over state” while idiots waste away in tourist states that aren’t even worth a vacation nowadays
Even St. Louis county isn’t too bad for a metro area. It’s about 40% based, mostly concentrated in south/west county. Housing is pretty affordable too and the taxes are modest for a metro area.
missouri has a lot of conservative areas. thankfully kansas city is split almost 50/50 between kansas and missouri. imagine if all of kansas city was in either kansas or missouri. it would be like chicago and illinois today.

Very Good housing away from interstates for under 50k

St Louis is the crab bucket Missouri ignores and helps keeps liberals out.
