Kind of depends on where you mean from. Where you live now, where you were born, or where you spent your childhood, all have different answers. Right now, I find myself in Idaho, where friends of mine have called this area "the vortex". It seems the people who are actually from here can be outnumbered by people who moved here, and there has been a huge burst in population.
It's a strange state. It's known for the outdoors and wildlife, and of course the potatoes. Unfortunately, it's also become known worldwide for all the worst reasons. Our legislature just refused to enforce child support out of the fear that the US was falling to Sharia Law. And that is not a joke. This just after the same legislators walked out of a session because a hindu minister was invited. Our school system reached the bottom of the nation, meanwhile being used to test out an unpopular school reform known as the "Luna Laws", yet instead of investing in improving education spending, we enacted rules that put teachers at risk, driving many of them to move out of state in fear for their jobs. While we're not spending money on fixing education, we are willing to spend millions fighting gay marriage in court, and putting up a fight fiercer than any other state to prevent gay Idahoans from marrying. Despite a large movement called "Add The Words", asking the state to add LGBT to protected classes so people can't be fired merely for being gay, which is technically legal here.
The world is seeing this, and there's a weird shame when looking at a British news site commenting on the stupidity of your state. And it's especially sad that in the 90's, Idaho was famous as the home of white supremacy and incidents like Ruby Ridge. So we had a "Idaho is Too Great For Hate" campaign that seemed to be working to clean the image of the state. Then we turn around and do these kinds of things.
We also just got rated 49th by the Humane Society for the treatment of animals. We're also notorious for our drivers and poor road conditions.
So there's a lot going on here. Meanwhile, it is mostly a quiet place to live, people are not going to bother you most of the time. At the same people, people aren't particularly friendly either. Seems it's common to not know your neighbors here. But they usually aren't particularly rude or mean either. They're nice enough but won't go out of their way.
I'd like to go on about the wildlife, the sights of Idaho, the openness and tranquility here. But so much facepalm-worthy stuff going on.
