    I love South Dakota, I'm from Illinois and I was treated like a friend in Hartford
  • @johnwatts4472
    This you tube flic is way off in reality. South Dakota is a great place as I have 50 + years as a resident. Be smart, make your own judgement and do not rely on this video. Real estate and average income prices are way off/ out of date.
  • @Vincent-ke5zn
    It's one of the friendliest state that I've ever been to
  • @bigred4335
    This video is great..I curently live in Maryland......Too expensive and crowded..I have been looking to move for a while now and Soutj Dakota has been on my list..I look forward to learning more about all of these cities and towns...I am a simple man just want to work and relax......Peace and Blessings

    Perhaps I missed it but he fails to mention that SD has no Personal income tax or Business tax.
  • I am retiring in 3 years and have my mind set on S.D. I was set on Rapid City but after watching this video I have to rethink that. I just hope that it stays affordable. The home prices mentioned are incredible. I am renting a studio apartment in Brooklyn N.Y. for $1,500 a month.
  • @genesannes
    I'd never thought of SD as a place to live, but this video of the towns and cities really opened my eyes. Of course I live in CA where the state is gorgeous, but the government really sucks. South Dakota really looks great.
  • @NoName-iw7nk
    The commentator should be aware of the correct pronunciation of Pierre (peer, rhymes with beer) and Fort Pierre!
  • @Johnnysokko168
    Did you really say you can fly from watertown to philly in less than an hour everyday?
  • @keradee8742
    There is little to none information in this video that is correct. Many of the pictures aren't even of the right town. If you pronounce Pierre wrong I guarantee the locals will want you to go back wherever you came from!
  • @NapkinEdStern
    I'm seeking comments on nice small towns out there. I currently live in New York and want to get out of this state once and for all.
  • @handytbutler7380
    south dakota is just the perfect state. low crime low unemployment and weather is not too cold or too hot...

    Rapid City - has a major park area that runs mies through the City along Rapid Creek available for runners and walkers. Like to fish, there are plenty of brown trout in Rapid Creek. There is the Black Hills Museum, great shopping, a public ice rink in the middle of town (winter) and some fabulous unique store, such as Prairie Edge. Perhaps you want to walk around Canyon Lake, or picnic there. Have children, or grandchildren? How about the free Story Book Island. This video is SUPERFICIAL for all that Rapid City offers. The best move we ever made by us to raise a family and live in an outstanding community. YOU KNOW this video is shabby insight when they say LOL - Ft. PeeAir - it is pronounced Peer.
  • @jeanlittle405
    Beautiful scenery but the information and horrible AI voice in this video are way off.
  • @dlang2506
    At 10:25, he says Brookings has a median income of $169,400 lol.. That's definitely very incorrect. It's about a third of that according to the U.S. Census Bureau. I live in Brookings.
