Genuinely some of the nicest, most accepting, and charismatic people I've met have been from New England. Also some of the most arrogant, delusional, and Hillary Clinton-voter caricatures.

Granted, I can count on one hand the number of times I've gone up there, so I'm interacting with the New England diaspora. But overall, I like them a lot better than I like people from the Midwest, the South, and especially the Philly metro area.
