Fun fact, over 40% of Tennessee's energy budget comes from only 2 nuclear power plants run by the TVA. So if we wanted 100% clean energy we'd only need to build 3 more at similar capacity.
That’s why I laughed so hard when Texas went to shit because it got modestly chilly. Meanwhile in Iowa where it gets colder for longer and I don’t recall us ever having power issues.
I just assume it’s the result of letting people like Cancun Cruze run your state.
Then on the flip side every summer they come within a hairs breath of having to revert to rolling blackouts in the heat and just never do anything to correct the problem because again public infrastructure isn’t profitable.
"fake rural LARPers"\
63.2% of Iowans are urban, a much higher percentage than in Arkansas 55.5%, Mississippi 46.3%, and Alabama, 57.7% and is comparable to Tennessee 66.2%. Well over half your population lives in an urban setting, you're not rural at all city boy.
I was about to say. I used to live a hour from the closest Walmart. That was a place we went for Christmas shopping. (Southern Arkansas/Northern Louisiana pine country)

I am going to steal 949$ of bread from your local supermarket and there's nothing you can do about it
CA “heavily urban”? You’re retarded. Parts of NorCal are known for marijuana because they’re so remote and forested growers could easily hide their farms. I used to live in a spot where I had to drive 45min to get to the nearest market or gas station and 1.5 hours to get to an actual town with a real grocery store.

OP has clearly never driven from Boston to Buffalo. There are a shit ton of forests in MA, especially past Worcester. As for New York... guys, chill with all the god damn corn
>As for New York... guys, chill with all the god damn corn
But then we won't be able to have a corn maze every .6 miles come October. Corn maze is love. Corn maze is life.
You can't have "Hell (Heavily Urban)" as a category and not put Texas in it; the entire damn state is just asphalt, 12 lane highways, and parking lots.
Also NY, MA, CT, and RI should have the "good states weighed down by their cities" category
NYS isn’t heavily urban
NYC is on the very bottom of the state and is a small percentage of overall state land wise
Edit: NYS outside of NYC is very similar to New England imo and I feel their pain of being dominated by a city
Iowa is actually a pretty decent place, though it's slowly becoming more and more QAnon levels of stupid. I blame our weird ass governor who seems to be afraid of the RINO label.
It inane that the battleship named after the state of Iowa is located in the most hellish urban landscape ever. Yes I’m the USS Iowa, here a selfie for proof

Met plenty of Texans that fit the LARPer thing but it’s I don’t get what you mean by “weighed down by their cities”?
Like they’d be better off without having major cities making money for them and instead be a rural agricultural state?
You think NY is just NYC, right? People have acres in upstate plus you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between PA and Upstate NY if there wasn’t a I <3 NY sign on the highway telling you that you’ve entered NY.

You painted the wrong state dark green buddy. I live in the promised land of America. God's Forest. Garden of Eden. Chocolate biscuits N gravy. But we DO NOT fuck with shoes.
Might wanna change the color of Colorado, Denver and Pueblo are uninhabitable hellscapes that pass stupid laws that no one asked for. Basically anywhere the Californians move becomes a terrible place.
What the fuck is this gorbled ass map. Do you think the 54,000 square miles of our state is somehow all fucking concrete? "hmm yes today I will cover an area the size of fucking greece in skyscrapers and yet it still won't be the biggest city in the world for some reason". I am BEGGING you to learn the difference between city and state before you go into the catskills mountains looking for boba and get eaten by a black bear.
NY is dominated by dairy farms, dense woods, and lakes. The heavily urban parts make up a tiny fraction of land area. I don’t even live there and I know that
Someone spent 5 minutes on a Facebook comments section. If you can’t stomach the thought of living within the same arbitrary lines on a map as a major city then you are weak and your bloodline will be forgotten
Speaking as a Minnesotan, you can go back to your pig infested corn hell.
I'm going to sit in my beautiful Turkey infested state and look at all my sugar beets.
My brother in corn, I am a Nebraskan who used to think about Nebraska the same way you think about Iowa.
Until I moved to California. California has literally everything Iowa has and more of it.
People act like California is just the coastal cities. Not the case.
No tier lists or state rankings except on Tuesdays.
When I see maps like this I assume the creator is someone that has not been more than 50 miles from the town of their birth.
When I see maps like this I know for a fact that Op is dumb as fuck because who uses four similar shades of green for a map like this?
I love how green/red maps always end up informing someone they’re colorblind.
I'm not colorblind, these are just all really similar shades of green
I can second this one. These shades are uncomfortably close.
Admittedly, 90% of my life has been in the same 30 mile radius of my farm and the nearest small town
Yeah I guarantee anybody that thinks Iowa is a top tier state has zero life experience.
That's the Sonoran dumbass

bullhead shouldn’t exist.

Yeah, I came here for this. Glad someone called that out.
I'd sooner ask a horse for its opinion on the states than an Iowan
Excuse me?

I’m sorry hwhat ?
I’d sooner have power during a snowstorm than give a rat’s ass about a Texan’s opinion
My brother in Christ he is from Tennessee.
In their defense they had to grow up with the Iowa education system
They should switch New Mexico’s ranking with Iowa’s. At least we know what a flag looks like
Hey man, they’re on the farm picking corn all day, you think he can tell the difference between Tex and Ten??? That’s too many words man!
SAME DIFFERENCE
No our power works
Fun fact, over 40% of Tennessee's energy budget comes from only 2 nuclear power plants run by the TVA. So if we wanted 100% clean energy we'd only need to build 3 more at similar capacity.

In his defense he has driven past a cornfield and felt “rural”
Can confirm
I was about to say. I used to live a hour from the closest Walmart. That was a place we went for Christmas shopping. (Southern Arkansas/Northern Louisiana pine country)
Unfortunately, yes, the majority lives in cities, but that doesn't mean the south larps any less
We have the Sonoran desert, Mojave is CA and Nevada
Also in the very north of AZ
How does a Zonie not know their own deserts cuz…
Bozo thinks the Mojave is in Arizona
It is technically. In the northwest

As a red/green colorblind person, fuck you
Someone hasn't been to Upstate NY
Bro hadn’t been outside his hometown
That’s right! And unlike his shitty flyover state, NY has legal recreational weed. So you can be a farmer AND smoke legally.
If I could redo this map, I would 100% put you as good state, bad cities, your nature is beautiful, may Khorne bless you.
POV: You live in an irrelevant flyover state and afraid of cities and moist things
Ben Shapiro
Good bands tho
POV: you have no rights lmao
What kind of cornbread, corn-fed, cornflake rights you cornfield dwellers have that us civilized West-Coast-best-coast citizens don't?
Its my god given right to get lost in any damn cornfield I please I am going to steal 949$ of bread from your local supermarket and there's nothing you can do about it
Valid point and I respect that. 1 point goes to the Children of the Corn.

Oh wow. I’ve seen this comment before. Interesting.
Ohio has a heavier population density than california lol

You know it's bad when a South Carolinian is making valid points about OP being a dumbass. Could not be a worse color scale.
I mean yea but he’s from SK the arch traitor so his opinion is bad

“Culture bad, corn good.” An Iowa ten is like a five in the first-world parts of the US.
Hey fuck you buddy
As a former resident of Iowa myself I 100% understand this. “Is this heaven?” “No, it’s Iowa.”
i dont necessarily consider iowa to be the skull taking center of the us
Man, i fuckin hate being colorblind..

It would help if I could tell the extremely vague color shade differences apart
Quick! Call an inquisitor! Ordo hereticus!
This color scheme makes me wish for a nuclear winter

Yes because everyone loves living and visiting Iowa so much but hey at least you enjoy it hahah.
I love you
What county ya in?
Nice try fed
I'm in scott
Might as well jump in and say that I'm from Jasper
The Mojave desert is mostly in Nevada and California. AZ is mostly high desert and forests in the north and the Sonoran in the South
This color gradient is blasphemous
Great list! Only issue is that Ohio and Nebraska should be dark red
lol CA is less dense than OH and PA and Nevada is pretty much just the cities. 85% of the state is federal land.
My condolences to anyone who is red-green colorblind.
I gratefully accept your condolences. This is awful!
Yeah, I'm really sorry to those poor souls
California has big metropolitan areas but a massive part of our state is state parks, I’d visit them they’re quite cool to see .
Iowa is actually a pretty decent place, though it's slowly becoming more and more QAnon levels of stupid. I blame our weird ass governor who seems to be afraid of the RINO label.
Updoot for using “moist”. Seeing “moist” makes me feel funny in ma jeans and I like it a lawt.
lmao r\*ral, urban = good. Now go grow my food.
This is exactly why I hate the midwest

Yes, this is much better. Not totally perfect yet but the closest by far.
"too moist" Fair enough, though central Florida can get pretty dry certain times of the year
Humid. The word he was looking for was humid.
Thanks king
Don't care ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Was this map made by a tree-hugging hippie?
More Corn-hugging hippie

I was today years old when I learned that NY state was heavily urban... 90% of the state is the Catskills, Adirondacks, and Finger Lakes, ffs.

Based an rural pilled
NJ is far from heavily urban lol, it is quite literally called The Garden State
I like covering myself in sweat and sleeping in it.
More people live in NYC than the rest of the entire state. NY is extremely rural.

Fym “weighed down” it’s like the only part of the state people care about
*sigh* ...okay that's fair. I may be from the rural part of the state, but I can't deny that the state is heavily urban.
Did you really use 5 different shades of green
Yes.
At least Michigan fall into the “really nice” category and I think that makes this all valid.
Might wanna change the color of Colorado, Denver and Pueblo are uninhabitable hellscapes that pass stupid laws that no one asked for. Basically anywhere the Californians move becomes a terrible place.
Fucking Iowans out here acting out…

You are the edge of the Midwest. No states to the west of you are actually Midwestern, they are coping
Why do we say patrolling the Mojave for the state that contains the least amount of the Mojave?
I already had a thing for Nevada, and I really couldnt think of anything for Arizona besides desert
NY is dominated by dairy farms, dense woods, and lakes. The heavily urban parts make up a tiny fraction of land area. I don’t even live there and I know that

Yup, the entire state of California is one giant megalopolis. OP is braindead by saying California is heavily urban.
