10 Reasons People Are Wrong When They Say Don’t Move To Iowa
No matter where you are, things are the same, and no matter where you live, you will be the one to determine if it's a great place or awful. It's much more your mindset than the actual street, city, or in this case, the state of Iowa.
Having lived in multiple states and cities over the last few decades I truly believe that you can look at the negative and be miserable or you can find the positive and enjoy life. After we roll through 10 reasons why you should move to and live in Iowa, I'll share with you some of the miserable comments from people who will always be miserable no matter where they live.
To Much Corn
The inspiration for this article came from "When In Your State" which went through simple reasons to move and live in Iowa. Things like having corn. Some could look at it and think it's boring. Others see it as feeding America and take pride in it.
More Boring Scenery
Yeah if you are looking for the Rocky Mountains then you moved to the wrong place. But if you can see the beauty in all things nature Iowa has plenty of it.
Winter
Having lived in northern Wisconsin I can tell you Iowa is not that bad. And having lived in Texas and Arizona, if you want to complain about the heat instead then move there.
No Big Cities
Having lived in Dallas and Houston I can give you all sorts of reasons why big cities are great. And why they are awful. If you like sitting in traffic for hours then Iowa might not be for you.
Nightlife
This isn't Las Vegas. But again, if you are looking for dancing and fun you can find it. The internet is a wonderful tool.
Not By The Ocean
If you like hurricanes and insane property prices then you get to an ocean state. But if all you're after is water, Iowa has plenty of lakes and rivers to give you those same vibes.
The article also mentions "Slow Pace of Life," "Limited Cultural Diversity," and "Nothing Exciting Happens Here." With all those, I can easily say that if you are looking for it, you can find it.
Now this simple article about not moving to Iowa got some great comments. And by great I mean miserable people who will never be happy with their life.
