ITT we establish the criteria for a "flyover state"

if your state isn't one of the original 13 colonies, Florida, Texas, or California, it is a flyover state
>>
>>62280826
Everything other than California and NY if you're not American

I wish I was an American. I wish. I wish. I wish.
>>
>>62280826
A state that doesn't have at least 1 team in any of the major professional sports leagues

Easy
>>
>>62280826
California, ny, chicago, florida

All others are flyovers
>>
If your state triggers nu-males, it's a flyover state.
>>
no one cares about states other than yanks

Anything that isn't a costal state. Maybe some Great Lakes states are exempt

To be considered a flyover you'd have to be below some average level of "flatness." The topography of a state needs to have little variation.

gb2new york

Arlington and Alexandria are both fine twin cities. Washington DC is also technically ours.

wisconsin is definitely a flyover

michigan used to be a fly-to but is now a flyover
>>

DC is its own state

never heard of either in my life

irrelevant, your state sucks

>>62281117
It's home to numerous major government agencies and military facilities. Flyover implies it is just rural land that nobody inhabits. Virginia is Military: The State.

Also, if you're going by such a broad criteria you might as well take most of my state, PA, and make it purple, along with 90% of New York State
>>
>>62280826
New York, Illinois (really only Chicago), California, Texas, and Florida.

All others are flyover, no exceptions.

Woodbridge here and fuck Arlington and it's outdated traffic lights

Nice logic there considering you have three much more relevant states on the coast marked as flyover. Shouldn't post if your IQ is below 70 senpai

Lmao the delusion.

Virginia also has

Sounds fucking awful, holy shit. Guess you aren't a fly over state but a fly-out-of state. Who the fuck would want to live there?
>>
>>62280826
California, Texas, and Illinois

Illinois and New York are saved because they both have major cities, but it's the only relevant major cities they have. New York outside of NYC is basically the mid-west.
>>
Feels good being irrelevant. I'll be sure to let you know next time there's a bombing or mass shooting or black lives "matter" march near me

Miami and Orlando maybe. The rest is drive over.

What relevant states? all of the flyover states are marked and the ones that are green are ones people might vacation in.

People who want to live in nice neighborhoods with all 4 seasons and some of the best public schools in the United States.

>>62281556
Fair, but the same can be argued for many relevant states

>>62281573
Virginia, North and South Carolina are more relevant than Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. Period. Especially Virginia.
>>
>>62281538
The BLM movement really gained its beginning momentum in Missouri. The state is practically the definition of flyover

There's nice neighborhoods in every state with the added benefit of having lower taxes and not having to live next to politicians.

You mean a watered down version of all four seasons.

For what political shilling? Listen if you want to go into a career where you will actually have a meaningful impact on the world the best schools are in the Northeast and on the West Coast.

Eh that is literally one of very few places Koreans can gather (I don't even know why but immigrants from 70's and 80's are super Christians and happened to gather at their own churches in mass) but more recent immigrants don't go to churches that much.

Virginia taxes are pretty low and I've never even lived in the same neighborhood as a politician, even if I did I don't know what the fuck that would matter

>you mean a watered down version
uhh, sure.

No, we have the best High schools. The best Universities are indeed on the West Coast and North East- and in the North East they are NOT public.

>>62281980
Yep UVA. It's a shame he couldn't go, it's a great experience.

>>62282018
My mom is from Virginia Beach so I've been there often, but I gotta prefer the Outer Banks.

Virginia Beach is for when you just want to go for a day or two or something. The """"City"""" is also a clusterfuck.
>>
>>62281909
You're full of germans and in the rust belt shithole, therefore midwest by default. Get a education system worth a shit and I'll call you northeast.
>>
>>62282018
Honestly never been to the OBX so i can't say
>>
>>62281909
The Northeast states are technically Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. At least this is what most history books will tell you. The lines were probably drawn based on the ethnicity of people who settled this area and the more farming and sea based economy.

Pennsylvania is a mid-Atlantic state along with New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, and maybe Virginia I don't remember. You'd be classified as mid-Atlantic likely due to the larger populations of Dutch and Germans that the Northeast did not have and likely due to the more varied and more industrial economy that better defines your region better.

While PA is in the Northeastern geographical area of America there are ethnic and economic reasons it is not considered part of the "Northeast"
>>
>>62280826
Everything outside of SoCal / SFBA and NYC, those are the places you're supposed to be flying to/from after all.
>>
>>62282177

No, PA is Northeast. You're confusing new england and northeast.

The cutoff for the Northeast is DC.
>>
>>62281003
this is actually true. you'd be shit outta luck in 'bama kiddo. enjoy your latkes
>>
I will never live in Virginia if only because of the draconian speeding laws.

Anything over 80mph is reckless driving with a mandatory 3 day jail sentence and the state police is super aggressive about enforcing it. On top of that radar detectors and LIDAR jammers are illegal and the police extensively employ radar detector detectors such as the Spectre IV so you can't even run stealth installs.

I can do 90 or 100mph and just get a ticket for it where I live now and radar detectors and LIDAR jammers are completely legal.

>full of germans
So New Hampshire is full of French people. Does that make it Louisiana, and thus, a southern state?
>Appalachia
Yes, we have that. It runs up into New York. Are they midwestern too?

Most major Northeast states (sans Northern New England) are linked by the Northeast megapolis I-95 corridor, then have vast tracts of rural land in their western/northern parts. NY, Mass, PA.

>education system worth a shit.
We have some of the wealthiest, most educated counties in the US. Yes, we have less educated rural poor, but so does every single other state in the union

>Driving that fast

You deserve it, you're the type of person who will get people killed desu
>>
>>62282661
I've been driving like this for almost 10 years and have never had a single accident.

It's not about how fast you go but more about following all the other laws, predicting when other drivers are about to do something stupid and compensating for it, and telegraphing your intentions in the most idiot-proof ways possible.

When you assume all other drivers are morons who will always fuck up you get really good at preventing potential accidents.
