Oh, and average high in St. G in high scummer is 102F. Sounds like there’s a reason why it’s cheap. Denying COVID, throwing anyone who’s homeless in jail, and a religious monoculture? More selling points! But, hey, whatever floats your dinghy.
Given the choice of somewhere rural, I’d probably go to Maine. Just as beautiful, briskly cold in winter, and smart people who don’t try to cram their idea of G-d down your gullet.
