One of my mother's life lessons I heard a million times was "Look on the sunny side". It sunk in.I'm the type of person that can find happiness anywhere. If I had to live in Nebraska I'm sure I would start to enjoy the great art of cow tipping!
California - not Alabama, Texas, or Tennessee - has always been a global leader in innovation

For sure.
Happiness is a choice.
As an adult, I lived in Houston, New Orleans, Washington DC, San Francisco, Denver. So I always had to figure out how to enjoy it and make it all work.
LOL I've never lived in Nebraska but have been to Omaha a few times in my travels. They are normal, Midwestern people.I'm the type of person that can find happiness anywhere. If I had to live in Nebraska I'm sure I would start to enjoy the great art of cow tipping!
Nebraska is the 39th most populous state with about 2M citizens and the 16th largest state which translates into a low population density state with 5 electoral votes...just one more than Rhode Island. They are unique in splitting their electoral votes, something I support all states doing.
Although I've visited most states, I've mostly lived in the southern tier states from Florida to California. California had it's benefits, but I'm not a big fan of high density population areas due to crowds, bumper-to-bumper traffic and higher costs. If I had to choose between California and Nebraska, it'd be Nebraska hands down.
Excellent advice. Kudos to your mom.
Text forums have their limitations in determining individual personalities, but one that can be easily seen is their attitude. Do they "look on the sunny side" of life or do they only see dark clouds?
I found a lot of ways to enjoy Texas and Louisiana.LOL I've never lived in Nebraska but have been to Omaha a few times in my travels. They are normal, Midwestern people.

I would choose Lincoln Nebraska, because with the university it probably has the highest density of educated people in the Cornhusker state!
College towns are great. Campuses are great for jogging. Most of hotel and restaurant staffs are college students including hotel van drivers. It was fun chatting with them.

Then why is Phoenix the 5th largest city in the US while San Diego ranks 8th? Seems to me people prefer Phoenix.
That's on them. I speak for myself.
California is in serious decline. The major reason for that is it is run by Progressive Leftist Democrats. Sure, it still beats the deep South. I've been through there a few times, and I want nothing to do with it ether.
New York, New Delhi, and Mexico City are larger than Phoenix, is that really your only criteria for which cities are most desirable to live in?
San Diego is always in top ten lists of cities where people wish they could live. I've never seen Phoenix in the top 20 of any of those lists because it's gross, sweltering, and unbearably hot.
Phoenix often ranks low in national livability, walkability, and safety studies due to extreme summer heat, severe car dependency, and sprawling urban design. While offering a lower cost of living than some coastal cities, it faces challenges regarding public transit efficiency, crime rates, and air quality.

Phoenix AZ resident @T. A. Gardner had great fun claiming San Diego is a terrible, gross place to live.
But when his own city is investigated, TA Gardner is living in one of the armpits of America. Phoenix isn't considered any better than Columbus Ohio or Indianapolis. Phoenix is infamous for terrible weather, sweltering unbearable heat, ugly urban sprawl, crime.
Arizona cities ranked low on best places to live ranking.
Arizona cities didn't rank high on a recent list of the best United States cities to live in, according to an analysis by U.S. News and World Reports.For its annual Best Places to Live ranking, U.S. News evaluates quality of life across 150 major cities and ranks them from the best to the worst places to live. In this year's list, Phoenix and Tucson both barely made it to the top half, situated between cities such as Columbus, Indianapolis and Anchorage.

...and your point...?
Let's look at rural SDTC, where farmers and ranchers are ABANDONING the land and moving elsewhere. They were unable to get water, they were taxed out the wazoo, and they simply couldn't ship products or supplies efficiently.
They LEFT.
It's depressing traveling through the SDTC. Everywhere you look, it's economic devastation.

You have to depose King Newsom and his cronies first, and reestablish a republic as a form of government.

Why? Nebraska is some great beauty. There's plenty to do there.The words 'Nebraska' and 'vacation' shouldn't even be in the same sentence!
You really need to get out of your cubicle more.

Orange County is no paradise. It's become a hellhole, thanks to Democrats.
It's not even worth visiting Disneyland anymore.
