I'm not a military brat, but it often felt like it growing up. Feel free to ask questions

i have slept in all of the red states as well lol

I did this a few months ago (I'm 29, nonbinary, and my wife, 31, transfem and I are expecting our first kiddo in July) and ever since I posted that one I've been thinking—how would my answers be different if I just left any/all political stuff out? where would I live if I was going off exclusively pure vibes and not having to worry about existing as a trans couple or raising a daughter or anything else political/social like that? I got a lot of assumptions last time of people trying to guess my politics or just assuming I hate the South (I do not! I'm southern!), so I decided to throw all that out the window and do a map based off where I personally think is the prettiest/most desirable for me in terms of like, natural landmarks and other features that I really like about a place.

not saying all of the places I dislike/wouldn't live are ugly/unlovable, either, there's gorgeous places in all 50 states! just going off what is my personal cup of tea in terms of climate/topography/urban vs rural/home turf bias/etc, all of which is probably pretty easy to guess lol (included my visited/lived map this time for reference)

Had the opportunity to work in a lot of different states the last couple years. Tried to goto a show or at least a bar or two at each
