Why 'Nobody' Lives In The Dead Zones of The United States.

There are parts of the United States that nobody wants to move to. This is nothing new for these areas.
Some areas never seem to have new industries, new housing areas, or many homes for sale. Realtors rarely get calls. For whatever reason, they have never really drawn in Americans or anyone else. What I find strange is because nobody lives there, real estate prices are always very low. If you know any realtors in the United States, they will tell you that is not normal.
Today, we look at a few parts of the United States that never seem to gain population and why.

Do you need a local Realtor for the area you want to move to?

Just retired and moved to a dead zone, it Sucks! No crime, no homeless people, no drug addicts, no lines everywhere, but the absolute Worst part was the Ridiculous cost of housing, 135k . I definitely would not recommend moving to a dead zone🏠

“Nobody lives there” is like music to my ears.

Native Buffalonian. I’m glad everyone thinks it’s dead here. Keeps prices low and life convenient. Everytime I go to these so called bustling cities, I pay 48 dollars for 6 hour parking and want to leave immediately ❤

People just can't fathom how COLD winter is in northern ND, MN, and Montana. The people are great, however. When you make a friend up there, it's forever.

Many of us have lived in these empty spaces and loved it. I came back to live in my hometown because it was at the end of the road and nothing exciting happened there. My kids whined about a lack of big city entertainment but they all managed to get drivers licenses so they could travel to concerts and sporting events. I grew up on the same block as my first grade teacher, and so did my son and daughter. They got a good education and both managed to graduate from university. They are successful because they grew up in a small town with parents who were interested in their children. I knew all my kids friends- and all my neighbors. Parents talked to each other. I wouldn’t want to raise a family in a big city.

I love how Wyoming is just skipped. He mentioned an area with only a millionish people living in it, yet Wyoming as a state only has 500k people

It's sad because the Great lakes is one of the best geographic locations that has been neglected

Why not Minot? Freezin is the reason. Spent my last miserable year in the Air Force at Minot AFB. Longest and coldest winter I've ever experienced in my entire life. Got so cold that I used to watch the weather Channel and envy Anchorage because it was warmer.

As a native New Mexican I am offended that we weren't included in this video.

Psst, Jefferson was the third president, not the second. I’m sure you were just seeing if we were paying attention. 😆

The narrator must’ve grown up in an idyllic suburban setting. Poor guy doesn’t know any better. 😂

The beauty of America’s empty west coast needs to stay empty. I had the honor of visiting all of the land between portland and San Fran and I can say it is one of the most beautiful places on Earth.

You left out northern Maine. That area is a definite dead zone. The only economic activity there is potato farming. Logging used to be big, but that switched over to providing wood for paper mills decades ago and there are no mills remaining in northern Maine.

Hello from Crescent City, Ca. You are mostly right on target in your assessment, except we are, not sadly, quite short on Applebee's!
Our main export is now Bigfoot souvenirs.

Right, nobody lives in Milwaukee, Chicago, Detroit, Windsor, Toledo, Cleveland, wow.

I've lived in Louisiana. The biggest problem is corrupt government and the fact that it can't be easily reformed due to being based on Napoleonic law instead of English common law, unlike the rest of the country. My uncle that has lived there since the 1960s has stated all of my life that half of Louisiana is under water, the other half is under indictment and that is the reason that it has always been a bad choice of states.

US highway 50 runs from Utah to California right through the middle of Nevada. It's been called the Lonliest highway, and I agree. I rolled down it doing 85 pulling a trailer. A few small towns, cattle ranches, lots of empty land.

[iamnotgroot]

I like it when you bash areas I’m looking into moving to when I retire. It may help to make the land cheaper.

They are not dead regions. Am sure the wildlife are flourishing. No pollution, no pesky noisy humans.

Ive mentioned this in other videos but I have lived in many cities including NY and LA and Miami, and Milwaukee has been the kindest to me. Lots to do, I feel very safe, the people are wonderful, and it’s so affordable. People complain about weather but Milwaukee salts the roads well. I plan on never leaving.
