Well, some parts of Texas are pretty bad. I hated Houston, and east Texas was worse. Still, even within Texas, there is Austin and there is San Antonio and there is Hill Country... though none of these places are hotbeds of intellectualism, I grant you. Fairly nice quality of life if you are self-nourishing in that respect however.
I don't think everywhere is the same. I struggled along for years in DC thinking that and discovered the error of my ways. So far I have stayed away from Seattle, SF and NY because I don't have the income to support a habit like that, but I really love New Mexico, and Portland was a pretty cool place too.
