I for one could never live in Florida. I know its population has exploded over the last 50 years, but as an urbanite, there is nowhere in the State that appeals to me. The closest thing you can get to a truly urban experience there is probably Miami Beach, but even that has urbanity that is really just a couple of shopping streets dominated by chains and tourists. Dont get me wrong, I like visiting Florida, especially Key West (been there twice). But to live. Thanks, but no thanks.

Many like myself loathe cities where it's dirty/grimy with bad air quality, crime-infested, overcrowded with obnoxious/self-centered people, obscenely expensive and has crappy weather a minimum six months out of the year. Your point being?

Most of the fastest-growing cities are in the South or Southwest, where I don't care to live. But D.C. is growing pretty quickly and it's Northern (or almost Northern), and I could live there I think.

Phoenix. Ugh. Don't get me started on that cultural wasteland hellhole.
Anywhere in Texas outside of Austin, the least Texas part of Texas.
Make that the same to a significant portion of the Southeast.
Texas part of Texas?
