For Texas, I got "hot/important/big/cheap". Huh. Houston has "boring/ghetto/big/cheap". Damn.

For Yorkshire, I got great, big, and good.

For Sheffield, I got hilly, windy, ...... and crap!

It was certainly hot and humid when I was there, but "stupid" goes without question.

Illinois = corrupt is quite a good one . It's a bit boring as well, on a larger scale. Not much going on compared to a lot of the rest of the states.

Google Canada gives me for California my home state:

Why is California so expensive/ broke/populated/a republic/called the golden state.

For British Columbia where I am now I get, expensive/why is it a good place to live/why is BC named BC and why is BC called BC.

Paying taxes here feels a bit like a shakedown. Property, income and excise taxes are all absurdly high here. Adding insult to injury, you constantly get nickle-and-dimed for everything from on-street parking to Metra to the highest gas taxes in the country to garbage collection to special airport fees to hotel taxes to ~10% sales taxes in many towns. And yet, despite all of that revenue, this state is the biggest fiscal basket case in the country. It's infuriating.

Actually, it's not so bad up by me compared to closer to Chicago. Lake County is nowhere near as bad as Cook. Our petrol is a bit cheaper too, being so close to the state line.

Which is nice.
