Is the trap that Ohio sucks to live in or anything more specific?

Housing might be cheap but…
- Car centric design (sprawl)
- Shitty weather year round (hot and muggy or just snowy)
- Pollution
- Terrible local cops
- Low worker pay
- Gerrymandering
- Nothing to do
- C o r n
When I was an exchange student there, it was so painful. In my country I could walk places... Like, damn, going to the store to buy a snack or something. In Ohio I needed to ask someone for a 30m ride to the nearest location. It was just farm after farm after farm.... Damn... It sucked.
That's the same for most of US though. Not Ohio specific. They don't know how to City over there. Just parking lots connected by highways and the buildings needed to support the parking lots.
I love the dichotomy of different kinds of states that tell technical truths about moving there. Ohio: I'll tell you the truth because you actually don't want to move here, trust me. An unnamed western state: weather or animals will killl you. Twice (please don't move here, because it's awesome without you here).
You're talking about Montana. I know this because I used to live there. Get lost!

Sadly accurate.
State politicians are getting worse and worse
This is all right and its sad and my bike is sad
Only thing I care is, gigabit internet
Sounds a lot like phoenix, except for the corn and snow... And it's not usually muggy here, just that oven blast as you step out of your air conditioned space...

Do Not Let Your Children Play In THe Corn.
That’s…that’s not what children of the corn is about.
OUTLANDER!
Don't correct me if I'm wrong but I don't believe that word is ever used in the short story, only the movie, SO THERE!
He wants you too, Malachi
The cost of living in Ohio is very good. The housing market is a bit of a mess in general but definitely in Ohio. It's a seller's market that still hasn't recovered from the pandemic.
Unless they're talking about Children of the Corn (which is a short story, not a book) I don't know what King book they're referencing. And as a Grade A certified pedantic asshole SHORT STORIES DON'T COUNT.
Adding to that; doesn't "Children.." take place in like Iowa or something? I can't think of a King book that takes place specifically in Ohio, but I also haven't really read his stuff the past decade
I was thinking Desperation but that was Nevada
I'm not a big fan of Stephen King but I love ass books. So conflicted.
The thiccer the better
I'm confused, do you automatically get to be in posession of books that have ass pics in them once you live in Ohio? I'm moving there if that's the case lmao
I hear Cleveland is nice
