Mid Arbor

What is the best place to live in America according to my criteria?
I currently live in Mid-Michigan, the lower part. The economy sucks here and the people are very uneducated, ignorant and cliqueish, though the people do have manners and are reasonably friendly. I want to live in a place where people are friendly, reasonably intelligent but not overbearingly pretentious and arrogant and has a good economy.
Currently, where I live, using proper grammar and reading the newspaper qualifies you as a genius. There is a lot of crime, drug use and apathy. I don’t think it’d be a good place to raise kids if I have any. The people are pretty depressing. I really like the West Coast, but I’m open to anywhere else.
I’m black and East Indian(yes, the curry/slurpee kind), by the way. I’m not from Michigan or America originally, by the way. I used to live in Ann Arbor and I hated it as a student. The people were arrogant, pretentious, politically loony and pseudo-intellectual and had no social skills WHATSOEVER.
If you like the Midwest you may want to check into Des Moines Iowa metro area. Housing is fairly reasonable, great schools, and good variety of jobs. (Insurance Companies mostly) A good mix of white collar and blue collar jobs. Des Moines is growing and trying to develop a more cultured image.
