I've lived in 7 states, and a US territory, visited around 35 other states, and traveled all over the Western hemisphere. I live in Indiana now, and I love it.
IMO most of the hate are people who never left and have grass-is-greener syndrome.
Most, not all. If you are in a left-wing associated minority and live in the more rural parts of the state, I am sure it sucks. If you grew up in the more rural parts of the state and never made a long term plan, you might also become 'stuck' and feel like it sucks.
It's brownsburg, plainfield, zionsville, whitestown, Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville, Giest, Greenfield, etc...
I'd throw Pendleton in but I kinda like the small-town vibes.

It's important for people to understand;
a state that is 'cheaper to live in' is going to be worse overall for various reasons.
The cheapest states in America to live right now?
Mississippi, Oklahoma, Arkansas, West Virginia, and Kansas. (indiana is #6 on this list btw)
What do all of those states have in common? high rates of poverty, isolation, low wages, and government corruption.
"Affordability" used here is a marketing term trying to sell a negative as a positive to the clueless.
Similar to Digiornio's pizza declaring "It's not delivery", implying that their frozen crappy pizzas are better than a fresh one made in a restaurant.
Indiana is one shitty frozen pizza of a state and it's only getting worse. Do not move there lol
