Guessing again: Humidity especially during the summer, Crowded, Low Wages, cannot determine the line of demarcation between the actual Orlando and Disney World, shiitake schools, water can easily Pool there after a rain, horrible drivers, tourists, traffic, road work, scenically devoid, alligators, bugs, mold.

Guessing: Boring, winters, isolated, summers are unpleasant, road construction, Midwest friendly place, limited industries, meth problem, smells like some type of bad agriculture, and tornadoes.
Hope to get more than 5, spent 10 years in Omaha, Nebraska which was somewhat similar, but bigger.
Glad to be out in the western US, which sucks less and is good too.

Guessing: Extremely cold winters, Bugs, high taxes, if you are not a Packers fan, then you will be lonely, the area is isolated, high paying jobs are scant, lies in a cloudy zone where sunshine is a rarity, not much to do for entertainment, road conditions due to freezing and thawing, and Sunday tailgate traffic during home games.
Hope to get 5, I really want to visit there someday, because I only made it to Port Washington, which was a nice lakefront town years ago. At the bare minimum, I hope the Packers advance to the Super Bowl. They were looking good last week. Hello from the Grand Canyon state BTW.

These are my subjective guesses, let’s see if we match: Vermont, New Hampshire, Colorado, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Oregon, Washington, North Carolina, Maine, and Hawaii.
Going for 5, at the bare minimum.

Guessing before the video, and I have been all over the state:
Very desolate other than Reno or Vegas, hot in summer, nuclear disposal sites, gambling addiction, alcoholism, drug addiction, roads need work, water is scarce, homelessness, and high rates of skin cancer from sun exposure.
Let’s see if I get a few correct before the video.
Forgot one, Bad schools with severely overcrowded classrooms and lack of funding.

I am surprised I got Detroit correct, I almost thought it would have been less populated because of the plight. However, the metro area has a huge amount of suburban areas.
I am saving St Louis and Memphis for a smaller city list.
Never would have guessed the IE cities of San Bernardino and Riverside, with former being more dangerous. Hard to believe people drive all the way to LA from there, but it does not surprise me. IMO LA traffic starts in Indio, CA which is further East on I-10, and is 2 hours away, sans any automobiles on the road.
Sorry I dissed Phoenix, I live 100 miles to the south, but traffic is starting to get bad there and the summers are rough and there was virtually no monsoon rains this year, exacerbating the heat intensity. Phoenix and Tucson are better alternatives than the IE to start over. Now the wildfires are making matters worse there.
Definitely surprised NYC was not on the list, but I forgot about DC when I was guessing.

Not too familiar with Canada, other than knowing where all the provinces are located. Only been to Ontario.
Here are my guesses: Colder Winters throughout the country, not many job opportunities, virtually desolate in the far north in all the provinces except Nova Scotia and Newfoundland, not much in the way of interstate highways, higher cost for food items, higher taxes to fund the healthcare, not too much diversity sans the larger metropolitan areas of BC and Toronto, public transportation necessitates the need for everyone to have a car, and a weaker currency relative to the American Dollar (but that could be a positive at the same time)
That’s it, this video will be a learning curve for me. Look forward to it.

Guessing: Brown Haze, I 25 traffic, winter driving, housing costs, crime due to legalization, homelessness, construction, disdain for California transplants, blue city where if someone were not on the blue end of the spectrum, they’re better off moving to the Springs, and somewhat isolated from larger cities (Omaha 538 miles, KC 605 miles, Albuquerque 445, Salt Lake 545, LA 1025, and NYC 1805 etc. Good news is Strasburg is only 36 miles away, very friendly people there IMO)

I have only been there once in 1991 but I will take a stab at it. It is what I do.
Expensive due to transplants, hot summers, traffic, probably not the best for public transportation, liberal city in a conservative state leading to political dissension, 🐜s, road construction 🚧, food snobbery, beer snobbery, aside from nearby hill country, not much by the way of majestic scenery, and a more pronounced widening gap between the have and the have nots via the tech influx.

Yay, I got 7, I was not expecting Wyoming to be on the list due to Jackson and to a lesser extent, Cheyenne, because of the latter’s proximity to the northern front range outside of Fort Collins, CO.
Almost guessed New Mexico, but Santa Fe and some areas in the greater Albuquerque area have home prices that are similar to Denver (Half a million plus) However, much of the state has areas that are prone to crime.
Was completely surprised that Michigan, as a whole, made that list. Aside from Detroit, where you can get a house for as low as 3 dollars, I was unaware that lakefront homes could be around 100 k. Those houses are probably pretty remote, but perfect for the retired, work at home, love the bugs, or freezing winters loving kind.
The barbecue is great in Alabama and you can clog your arteries more while having little or no medical coverage.
West Virginia is a nice state scenically, but I do not want to make a WRONG TURN there. But HEY, isn’t that where John Denver said he belonged??
Excellent video and I looked forward to it.
Now it time to find that 65 K home in Birmingham where they once lost a governor or some inexpensive beachfront on Mississippi’s Gulf Coast.

Not to familiar with Portland because I have only been there twice, but then again here are my 10 guesses: Winter Rain, cost of living, resentment towards California transplants, political strife between liberals and conservatives, homelessness, heavy opioid abuse, increasing traffic congestion, road construction, a dearth of public transit, and beer/food snobbery.
Going for half. Now it is time to enjoy.

10/10 video, and I like the new format (miss the, “But Hey” and the horse pic immediately after). Binge watched The Evaluator before I came to you (your voices are very similar)
Interested in IF because my wife and I live near Phoenix and am relatively near retirement and thinking about buying a summer home (or at least renting) away from the scorching heat from May to early October.
I’m quiet, addicted to water 💦, miss fall foliage, courteous, like the outdoors, hate crime, hate the ever increasing traffic with inconsiderate drivers, and might stay during the winter.
Moved from the Midwest to AZ over a decade ago, so I know what a less severe winter is like relatively speaking, but I can spend an extended period of time away from AZ as I get older.
Considering Ironwood, MI and Northern WI as other destinations.
Keep up the good work
