Global warming. Houston and Phoenix in the summer. Unbearable temperatures and lack of water. The average temperature in Phoenix is 104, 106 and 105 in June, July and August. 54 days in the summer of 2023 were 110 degrees or higher. From June 30 to July 30, 31 straight days, were 110+.
Life is better in the Midwest and let people know about it. Even with rising world temperatures, the Midwest and the moderating effects of the Great Lakes, become more and more attractive. Throw in reasonable housing, new developments in large and small cities, the friendly nature of the Midwest, and it will be trending upward.
Visit the amazing cities like Indianapolis, Indiana, Duluth, Minnesota...the fresh vibe of Eau Claire, Wisconsin, Grand Rapids, Michigan and hundreds of others...and you will see and feel the vibrancy. If a Midwest town or city is not on a lake, it is within hours of any of the big 5 of Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, Lake Ontario and Lake Erie...or close to the 50,000 inland lakes.
