In this new nationwide survey, respondents were shown a list of 20 adjectives and asked which four they most associate with each main region of the United States – the West, the South, the Midwest and the Northeast – and the results were analysed to determine which words were particularly associated with a region.

It literally says "mean" directly next to "kind" for the South. I think whoever put the map together needs to take another look at their inputs.

I live in Greenfield but grew up in the Berkshires. From my pov this is accurate compared to my time in Sturbridge and Brookfield.

Oh, yeah, I definitely associate Utah and Montana with people who are uninhibited and experimental, and "polite" and "kind" are the first words that come to mind for Mississippi and Alabama.

Or maybe that's just my rude, sarcastic New England self coming through.

I'm fine with it. The whole map is inaccurate tho.

What a load of bollocks.

i literally can’t with all the ads about it😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

You might need to just pick which one of those three things is most important to you in order to find an area to live in.

Boston is going to have the most nightlife, but it is the most expensive & longest commute.

Framingham is going to reduce your commute and housing cost, but has no nightlife.

Worcester has some nice buildings with lower rents than Boston, but still requires a decent commute and their nightlife does not compare to boston.

There is no data or even quality of any data so why make it look like there are quantitative figures behind this map. It is clearly just someone's opinion of a perception of a broad region. And if you have no data, at least make it funny.

And what does the category "smart" mean? So what this is saying is that there are no smarts across the U.S. but the Northeast has just a little?

This map?

Obviously created by an asshole on the west coast who has never been past the Mts.

If you are looking for historical validation I'd have no idea how to help you.If you're looking legal validation,like ie... is the house safe,mold free,a solid structure and legally safe for human inhabitation.Any inspector can make that judgement whether a brand new house or a medieval castle.

Yeah the West is... oh, uninhibited. I thought it said uninhabited.

These must just be first impressions. I think you got the south aaaaaaaaaalll wrong. I started out there and moved north for love. New Englanders present as cool but once you are in, you are in forever.

New England wants nothing to do with PA, NJ and NY.

Legally? No. They are illegal at the Federal and state level. Some cities such as Northampton have decriminalized them but you still can't purchase them.
