Born outside of the country
Interesting how in middle America it almost seems like absolutely nobody wants to live there unless they were born there. Why don’t immigrants want to live in the middle of the country? They have all those beautiful lakes, mountains, and rivers. It seems like everyone just wants to run toward the cities.
We get it, people want excitement, they want beaches and large metropolitan areas filled with people. That’s where the beauty of the lakes and interior comes in, by not having an ocean next to your city keeps it quiet. Your own little piece of paradise where you will never have to worry about an explosion of population anytime soon.
