As a non American who used to live there, I can say some things are amazing and some things are awful.

I love the nature. The national parks are so beautiful. I like many of the people. And there are good job options there in tech.

But the awful things were a deal-breaker for me, and why I'd never want to live there again. The wealth inequality, the guns, the crime, the homelessness, the healthcare system, the partisan politics, etc.

So ultimately I probably fall on the side of not liking it.
