What are the pros and cons of living in West Virginia?
"People who live in West Virginia often appreciate the state's natural beauty, with its rolling hills, lush forests, and winding rivers.

On the other hand, some people may find the lack of job opportunities and the limited access to cultural activities to be drawbacks of living in West Virginia," said one foreigner in West Virginia.
