Wichita, KS is a wonderful town with its own kind of chill vibe, and cost of living is low. But Kansas is definitely not a blue-ish state, despite its current Democratic governor.
Still, I love it here. But if I could pick up the city and move it over to Colorado or something, I would.
@ImADifferentBird I was going to say somewhere in Western Kansas would be good as Wichita is Koch-sucking territory, but OP said they're an introvert so they may be able to put up with the bullshit. Out on this side of the state it's mostly senile old people with backwards-ass views and the occasional extremist douche that the rest of the community laughs at the second they open their mouths.
@Anissem
Maybe it's just the crowd I hang out with in Wichita, but it feels like it's become that way as well. Younger generations here are much more liberal than old people. Koch is one of the largest employers in town still, but I feel like their influence on our politics is waning.
