I know a powerful, politically connected woman who moved from the DMV to Aimes Iowa. She absolutely loves it, and is shocked by how much more walkable, affordable, and cultured the town is than where she came from.

This is maybe the ... 15th? person I know who's said something like this. I think people literally don't know how nice a lot of America is.

Ames is not a gutted Midwestern town, though. College towns centered on large research universities benefit from a similar dynamic as the DMV.
