The rule of thumb for the U.S. is whether the area is run by Democrats. The more Democratic control, the shittier it is. Big cities run by Dems = overrun with criminals and a generally deteriorating society. Big cities run by Dems in a Dem controlled state = even worse. Then you additionally see the massive homeless encampments and open drug use and roving looting gangs. Red areas tend to not put up with the decay and lawlessness that the blue areas actively encourage.
Yes and no. The South is red, but has some of the worst crime in America due to the African demographic. The red states up north and in the Midwest are safe as can be. With the coasts and parts of the South being overrun... Who knows for how long. If the vast majority of my family wasn't in the Pacific Northwest I would book it for the Red center/ north of America
Red areas also tend to not understand that the left doesn't act in good faith, so they get caught unawares by the left's maneuverings.
Eg. marijuana. A red state might look at that from an economic and jobs standpoint without understanding that there are certain undesirables who will not move to a place where pot is illegal, and now that you've legalized it you will attract those sorts of people.
If you ask your lefty friends "what is the one state you would never move to under any circumstances?" they will always have an answer. May be Texas or Alabama or someplace like that, but it's always someplace they perceive as having "backwards" laws. Strive to make where you live the answer to that question.

So it basically comes down to how White an area is. Huh...
Mostly true, with the exception of the lefty whites of Seattle and Portland, and maybe the whites of the crappier parts of the Appalachian mountains.

This. Potheads turned out to be the kinds of little shits everyone stereotyped them as. Surprise, surprise.
Potheads, really? Do you call everyone who has a beer after work an alcoholic or a wine-o?
"run by Democrats" is code for some stuff, in most of these cases.
