Obviously as an expatriate who sadly trash talks his home State, you are forever going to be biased.
I’m also a Michigan expatriate and I wouldn’t go so far to malign Michigan as you did. I don’t have an issue with the weather, I enjoy fall, I think our summers are the best thing in the world, but yes I do get fed up with winter by the time February rolls around.
But I will say that Michigan is also not for me simply because I need to be near a major global and highly urban city. In fact, I can only see myself living near 2 or 3 other cities in America (NYC, perhaps Bay Area, DC). That’s just me.
But to single out Michigan as such a terrible place seems odd to me. I would argue that it’s probably the most unique and beautiful State in the Midwest. It’s got a lot of history, it’s a peninsula surrounded by water, it’s got Mackinac Island, tons of cute coastal towns, and an important international border between two cities. From the standpoint of States, I think it’s the nicest midwestern one. But that’s just me I guess...
