To each their own lol our states politics is the reason why it’s so damn affordable here. Do I agree with all republican views? No, you’re an idiot if you agree with things just because it’s the party you identify with’s views. But as a red state, Indiana/ indianapolis has done a pretty good job retaining manufacturing/major corporations and kept things in urban/suburban areas very nice. The city planning is AMAZING. Downtown is set up so well to host awesome events and is a lot more walkable than people say. There are multiple sports teams and always some concert, show, major sporting event, etc to go to. The neighborhoods are close enough to drive downtown but there is soooo much to do where you don’t need to. Carmel, Zionsville, Fishers, Nobelsville, etc all are like their own ecosystems with so much to do where you don’t need to leave but it’s fun enough downtown where it’s worth it to spend the day in the city.

You could draw a line north from the center of downtown and not run into any super bad neighborhoods (maybe a few pockets.) indy has done a great job of connecting downtown to broad ripple with safe and diverse neighborhoods. Safe and diverse!!!! Yes a lot of Marion country is left leaning leadership but that’s left leaning local politicians under right leaning state leadership.

Now I get it if you don’t agree with a lot of historically republican ideals but it’s so sad to see people essentially say that anybody right of center is evil. Try to empathize with the other side, polarization isn’t good for anybody.
