what exactly is so bad about running in the northeast?

Wellllll, for me personally, if it's east of the I 75 corridor and north of the Va / NC line. I don't go. Been there, done that, not going back.
I have PTSD issues with high population densities, mountainous terrain and Urban areas. And I have a low tolerance for rudeness. So, in short, the northeast has hostile terrain, hostile population and a hostile legal system.
To many people crowded together in ugly terrain filled with ugly urban blight patrolled by nazi's in patrol cars. All with rude attitudes.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and mountains and hills are NOT my idea of beauty. There is no sech critter as a "pretty city". And if you don't was truckstops in your backyard, you don't need trucks delivering to it either.

 

Good luck with all that.

 

Wow... maybe you might need help with the PTSD thingy? Just saying... it might not be 1/4 of the population of the USA that's the problem here!

 

Chaotic four wheelers who have zero respect for the potential lethality of a tractor trailer.
