You mean there are states that aren’t shitholes? I wasn’t aware. Sure, there’s varying orders of magnitude of shittiness, from “the vast majority of the population has been permanently priced out of home ownership, and thousands of people are living in modern day Hoovervilles” at one end, to “thousands or even millions of people live in crippling poverty and having their fundamental human rights violated and restricted daily” At the other, but it’s pretty shitty everywhere for the average American.
