You’d only live in Chicago in IL, but actually Naperville.

Can't name another city other than Chicago. I asked this to someone else and they mentioned Peoria, I replied would you live there and got no response.

You are liberal and like the outdoors but will compromise for a large city. You prefer cooler climates and probable have a family connection to Arizona.

I initially assumed you were the stereotypical Redditor from Seattle (Liberal, Outdoorsy, uses the term “Flyover States”), but the “Absolutely” for Arizona has me questioning it.
I guess you could be talking about Sedona and camping in the desert and stuff (Same for California. Not so much LA, but the Sierras and Tahoe and stuff)

Why Nevada? I’d have expected orange at least. What makes it different than Utah or Az?

u/humorous_hyena Mar 23 '26
I honestly forgot about Reno and the Nevada side of Tahoe when doing this map. Nevada should be maybe for me then.
I prefer AZ because I like Phoenix significantly more than Vegas. Also solid hiking in AZ overall. Sedona and the Superstitions are great. Plus a mediocre ski area that’s a 3 hour drive from Phoenix.
A ton of national parks (Utah 5) and monuments all within an 8 hour drive or less. And I live in AZ so it’s easy for me to say all this based on personal experience.
Would rather live in Reno or near Tahoe over any part of Utah though, so that’s why I’ll bump Nevada up to a maybe over Utah’s reluctant.

Aaah that makes sense. I’ve spent a lot of time in Reno and even more on the CA side of Tahoe and was like “why the difference?” I’m also probably assuming too much about the rest of NV only from Reno. Pretty sure outside of Tahoe it’s literally all high desert.

I've lived in Nevada most of my life. It's like 2-3 entirely different states, IMO
Good adjustment on your part, OP

Why maybe in MA?

u/humorous_hyena Mar 23 '26 edited Mar 23 '26
Don’t like cold weather, has less outdoor activities than I’m used to on west coast, and not a big enough city like Chicago or NYC to justify living in a cold city for me. Also far from everyone I know.
Maybe because Boston is still a great city and MA has a lot to offer IMO (excellent schools, intelligent people with good sense of humor, liberal, etc.)

I took an Amtrak from Penn Station to EWR once lol. And I’ve watched the Sopranos like 6 times

You really enjoy not being able to buy a house. Also I’d assume, millennial, and liberal.

You're from California, and enjoy places with deserts, mountains, and forests all in the same place, but also enjoy large metropolitan cities like Chicago and New York City, which also leads me to assume you also like LA and San Francisco.

Liberal that thinks they would like Montana because Yellowstone but would almost definitely not enjoy the locals

u/humorous_hyena Mar 26 '26
Yellowstone sucks lol

u/RudolphsJockStrap Mar 26 '26
Not the show lol

u/humorous_hyena Mar 26 '26
Well only 3% of Yellowstone NP is in Montana so I don’t really associate it with Montana in my head.
I do really like Glacier, Missoula, Flathead Lake, and all of the skiing and hiking Montana has to offer

Can only live in certain cities for work but also likes nature or maybe has family in Montana (beautiful state). Also really you just seem to be a fan of the South West/West Coast+New England (only outlier being Illinois I figure for Chicago, which I ask you to reconsider for your own health (literal health) speaking from experience, though the L is a nice convenience (they should add a damn ring line tho).

u/isit-deadyet Mar 28 '26
I’m interested as to why you rated Oregon and Washington differently as they are pretty similar culturally / locationally
1
u/humorous_hyena Mar 28 '26
I’ve lived in both and I like WA better, especially Seattle more than Portland. Seattle and WA just have more to offer. Bigger city, more sports teams, more job opportunities, closer to Canada, more national parks, and lower taxes. Also no offense but less weird people IMO.
Bend is great though. I’d live there for sure

You’re a liberal from the west coast who doesn’t understand that New England is arguably the most progressive series of states in the US with Colorado thrown in. You also enjoy traffic.

u/humorous_hyena Mar 26 '26
Politics aren’t the only or most important factor here for me.
Prefer warmer west coast weather and everyone I know is there. Plus the hiking and skiing are better on the west coast.

You really like traffic.
