It is a bad place to live. The GOP destroyed the bus system, delayed the light rail, starved the schools, poisoned the police departments, and just generally fucked up as much shit as they could before they got voted out.

On top of that you have the climate and two of the deadliest highway stretches in America. (One gets sandstorms, the other gets blizzards and features cliffs)

And the local politics is so crappy they managed to push an NHL team out of the market.
