Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
In my 20s I lived for a couple years on a block in Baltimore that was >90% black. I’m not going to argue with anyone who listed Baltimore as one of the worst.
I haven’t seen anyone mention Las Vegas but it deserves consideration because it’s so fake and unnecessary. Feeding the Colorado River to Los Angeles made some sense because there are organic reasons for LA to be a city, such as its ocean ports. Maybe Phoenix is also more justifiable. But Vegas was astroturfed for criminal political reasons and its site is in one of the most energy and resource intensive regions of the country. Mobsters using union pensions justified it because of nationwide unAmerican local gambling bans. People should’ve been free to gamble in their own hometowns all over the country. That would’ve saved all the traveling fuel and emissions to get to Vegas. All of the energy used to air condition all those big buildings is ludicrous, and of course we hear about Lake Mead’s water volume becoming a crisis, just like the rest of the Colorado River basin. Then think of all the social problems with hookers, drug dealers, deep state wind up shooters, etc
I'm not worldly enough to give you an answer that's not the standard "Top 5 Liberal Hellholes", but I do have a small story.
Was just talking to a dear friend who lives in the Seattle area... He is an architect, his wife is a social worker / psychologist. She's really struggling with her mental health due to her job obligations grinding her down (plus... She's a liberal social worker/ psychologist... They're going to be crazy already). Anyway, it's been difficult on their marriage to the point she's had to take a sabbatical, and they are going to take the time off and work on moving locations. My friend is kind of a softie, classical liberal, little bit of a cuck sort. He's smart, and knows The System keeps us down, but he's also very pro BLM and LBGQTGX+ supporting. I'm in Florida, and we've had some back and forth discussions about liberty since COVID-19, and I thought (rightfully) I might have woken him up a bit...
This is how the text went:
Him: So she's taking a sabbatical and we're going to move out of state...
Me: Awesome! Where to? Texas!?
Him: No... Probably Minneapolis or Portland... 😏 (He included the emoji)
Me: Bwahahaha. 🤣
wow Minnesota is huge & beyond beautiful WHY would they move to Minneapolis🤦♀️
probably better though, doesn't sound like they'd ever understand anyway. there's an 'art' to living in the upper midwest😎

Anywhere where it’s extremely cold like below zero, and snows heavily. I thrive in the sunlight, my best weather is Kauai weather. And swimming with turtles.
Other than that requirement, all of the places each person have mentioned - seem legit place is not to live.
The sad part is, I grew up in Huntington Beach. My dad lived in the valley, and we drove back-and-forth throughout Los Angeles freely, without any issues. I loved being a California girl. And now I’m embarrassed to say I’m from there. Also, are used to travel to San Francisco every year in October, during the Indian summer. It was my favorite city to go to. Now… I have no desire to go to either. It’s very sad.
that sounds like such a different life to me...can't imagine not having snow. like a love hate relationship, where you have very little control. snowed again this weekend/so cold:( would love to go to the Trump rally tomorrow, but can't trust the weather.
Anywhere in CA, NY, MI, IL, OR Thanks to Newsome, Holchul, Whitmer, Pritzker, and Hochul

All of mine would be Baltimore.
If I was going to be forced to move someplace wretched I would choose everyplace over Baltimore.
