What's your opinion on the "best" state to live in the United States? The answer is no doubt California. Why? We have a diverse climate and geography. We have the most diversity in ethnicity from 58 different countries. We have better beaches than any other coast. We also have one of the most productive agriculture areas in the world and the largest in any of the U.S. We also have great aerospace, petroleum, and computer and information technology. Our economy ranks in the top ten in the world. Oh yeah, it doesn't hurt that the majority of people in California are far more better looking. We got Los Angeles, and the sandy San Diego beaches, and the ever clear warm temperature in the Bay Area.

QUOTE(tungmyBANANA @ Jan 11 2008, 01:46 PM) If you think these 5 states are great, please enlighten me with some facts to back up your case, as I have already with California, and Steven with Texas, and others with New York. All five have large, accessible, cultural, intellectual cities that generate large amounts of money for the entire state, all have sufficient amounts of greenery, all have seasonal changes that vary the weather and keep it enjoyable for all sorts of people for some of the year (yay accessibility), and all have large amounts of lakes and rivers for beach communities and water transport of goods. Illinois, Michigan, and Pennsylvania have some of the top schools in the country (University of Chicago, Northwestern, University of Michigan, UPenn). The only natural disasters that regularly occur in these areas are tornadoes and they are still pretty rare. These states have both rural, quiet communities and towns with greater than 100,000 people. Though in most of these states the northern parts are covered in snow in the winter, one can still enjoy all that these states have to offer in the southern parts of them. Accessibility, money, schooling, variety, ethnic diversity, etc. All the good things a state has to offer.

Kansas for sure.
Hot in the summer, cold in the winter. The only thing I'd get rid of is the wind; it drives me crazy. |

It has snow?
Other than that, Texas is fine by me. I wasn't arguing against any other states, just making sure some of the ones I personally like the best aren't being disregarded. |

I would say, NEW YORK FTW. But theres a hella lot of pollution here...and you can get shot up on the block...and...okay, I lost my point. I guess the best state would be North Carolina.
 Its really nice and peaceful there.

I woke up this morning and it was in the 30s O.o A few days ago it was in the 20's. Keeping in mind we're in one of the warmer spots of Texas, too. It was colder further in the state. |

It's the far Northwestern state that doesn't have snow. Ever. I swear. Just rain.

I came across a sign at Virginia beach, stood back, pulled out my camera and yelled "f**k that!" as I took a picture of the sign. I felt satisfied. |

Not to take anything away from them and those two pop-lockin' sexpots, but RSC is godly on the cardboard. Is there really a best state? Or would this be better if we focused on a metropolitan area? |

OVERALL, I don't like Cali. But I like where I live. Since I'm right between the mountains and the beach. :D
