Would you rather live in Forsyth County, GA or an >85% Obama precinct in Iowa?

Easy choice.

You know, despite its reputation, Iowa is actually a pretty "sinful" state.

-Some of the laxest alcohol laws in the country. Doesn't get much attention primarily because the state with the country's laxest overall is right to its south.
-Hordes of casinos and gambling. Wouldn't surprise me if its after Nevada as having the second highest number of casinos per capita. In fact literally the first thing you see after crossing the border from Minnesota on I-35W is a casino. Plus you can play slots in gas stations.
-Strip clubs aplenty. Des Moines has almost as many as Minneapolis, as the other cities aren't too off either.

I mean hell Iowa is far more lax on all those things than Minnesota, Wisconsin or Illinois, yet for some reason is commonly thought of as more "moral" than all those neighboring states.

Forsyth (lower cost-of-living, warm, and good schools)

Huh? We're comparing a non-gentrifying part of a working class mid-sized Midwestern city versus a sprawly fast growing mess housing the bourgeoisie of a major metropolitan area.

Also Iowa is consistently ranked as having one of the best education systems in the country. It has the third highest high school graduation rate of all states.
