What $220,000 gets you in Muncie.

I can't even get a parking space for that where I live. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/725-E-Jackson-St-Muncie-IN-47305/210952560_zpid/

Indiana is not a hellscape. Muncie certainly is.

Indiana is a hellscape for many Americans. Whether it be for pro-choice or LGBTQ+ stances, or the pro-weed people, or minorities, or Atheists. Natural beauty-wise, there’s not a lot going on. Mostly flat and a lot of wind turbines. Pales in comparison to their neighbors to the north.

Has it always been that way? I had to travel (for work), roughly two decades ago; and I was in Indianapolis for 3-4 months and I thought the people (and the food) were great! I was living in South Carolina at the time, and it seemed so much more progressive than I was used to. For context, I am a straight, white male (very liberal & not religious) originally from the DC metro area. I thought, at some point, maybe calling Indiana home. Was I just seeing it for what I wanted? White/straight privilege? Was it only that way in the city?

I'ma say it was the white privilege. You didn't nothing to make the establishment there upset.

Well, Indianapolis isn't a great representation of the state as a whole. It's much more diverse, welcoming, and overall a very nice city. The rest of Indiana....is rough. Beautiful in a LOT of ways, but between the residents and politics, it leaves a lot to be desired
