Writer called county 'worst place to live,' then moved there

Season 2019 Episode 339 | 6m 05s

In 2015, Washington Post reporter Christopher Ingraham wrote about a government ranking of counties on things like scenery and climate. Dead last was Red Lake County, Minnesota, which Ingraham called the "worst place to live." The next year, he moved his family there. He spoke recently to NewsHour Weekend's Megan Thompson about his new book, "If You Lived Here You'd Be Home By Now."
