From the point of view of my new city, there's typical banter about how silly/crazy/whatever "those people over there" are, though there is a general consensus that the people of my old city are richer. There's no equivalent to the people of my old city dismissing this region as a "shithole" or "third-world country", I guess because objectively there is more wealth there. People here generally feel that they are freer here and prefer to make that tradeoff against more money.
- sure_about_that 4y agoI’m fascinated by how different people define being “free”. From my perspective legal sports betting, legal medical and recreational marijuana, not banning books, not dictating what teachers can/can’t teach, freedom to protest without being run-over, biometric privacy, and choice for women makes for a “freer” place than having loose gun laws and slightly lower taxes.
