As for the scene, I can't say; but, I'l bet it beats the Midwest hands down.
I think you'd lose that bet.
The kinky scene and community in Minneapolis/St Paul is absolutely wonderful. There's a lot going on here - there are 3-4 events of some kind every week. And the people are fabulous. There are a lot of different groups, so anyone who comes here can find a group that they feel is a good fit for them. It also means that there's variety in the events. It's not the same party over and over again. The groups don't compete with each other. Most people belong to several groups, and the groups share space and equipment and often team up to host larger events. All of our community leaders are volunteers, and the "many smaller groups" structure means that these folks aren't as likely to get burnt out. They also aren't as likely to get weird about their status as "community leaders". Around here, there are a lot of those. I don't know how the market is for prodoms, but I have friends here who are prodoms who do well enough to have nice homes with yards and nice professional space.
We don't have an ocean, but Lake Superior is only a couple of hours away (it's a pretty drive up there) and there are a bunch of lakes and the Mississippi River in the cities themselves. There's a flourishing arts scene, plenty of sports if one is into that, lots of good food, good entertainment. Folks who come to Mpls/St Paul from other big cities are always impressed with how much there is to do and how clean the place is. The cost of living is pretty reasonable as big cities go.
I'd suggest that any kinkyfolk who want to relocate take a look at Mpls/St Paul.
