This feels overly defeatist. We came here from NYC in 2020 and post-vaccine my wife and I have been able to make friends by joining groups in the community — she’s taking ukulele classes, I’ve started going to a local game store each week to play Magic: The Gathering.

This is definitely a low population, low density state, but there are things to do in the community. Just needs some initiative and a pro-social attitude.
