Best State to Live In Options

[Tung]

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.

[*jeanna*]

Why not New York?

i've never been to any, so.

[DoubleJ]

Are you kidding me... New Jersey is where it's at. I must admit though, I think I am a Californian trapped in A Jersey Boys body.

[Tung]

i've never been to any, so.

Explain why New York is better than California?

Are you kidding me... New Jersey is where it's at. I must admit though, I think I am a Californian trapped in A Jersey Boys body.

How so?

If you are going to claim a state, at least give your reasons.

Climate diversity - Texas has it
Ethnic Diversity? Have you been to Houston?
Beaches, we lose.
We have tons of agriculture too, and we have NASA and the MD Anderson Cancer Research which is a world renowned cancer treatment center (in Houston).
From what I've heard y'alls weather rivals ours for warmth.
We're bigger than y'all.
We use y'all.
We use the death penalty. If someone kills a Texan, we kill them back.
We're more affordable to live at.
We're not smug.




I'm sorry but New Jersey's New York's armpit.

[Insurmountable]

We use the death penalty. If someone kills a Texan, we kill them back

I like that, I vote for Texas.


I would say my own state but I personally don't like it. We have a few cities that are the top 10 list of safest cities to live in. We have some pretty decent schools for sports and medical... yea its not that great.

[dannyordinary]

MA. nothing ever really happens here.

or you can live anywhere and just ignore all
the bad stuff, hehe

[Comptine]

NEW YORK CITY is where it's at. But that's not a state.



No but seriously. New York as a state is pretty cool. We got quiet suburbs, small towns/cities, and the best city in the world. Transportation is really easy to and from the far reaches of the state to the hub. We get all four seasons. The best water.

[deplorable]

uh. ontario. is the new state.
province.
meh.

[MissHygienic]

I vote for California, not Southern California and not Oakland. Nice scenery; I don't hear them say, "car" like "cah"; great shopping; great schools; the environment in California is much nicer than places in the East coast.

[Simba]

I hope Cali gets decimated in an earthquake and separates from continental U.S.



Just playin'. I love California (I was born there).
WEST SIDE!

[RAWRstephishere]

California is the best state to live in.


Texas sucks.

[bat19]

Wisconsin. Cause no one gives a shit about wisconsin, there will never be a telethon about all the people who die of heatstroke each year or how everyone in wisconsin has diabetes because of all the cheese, no, no one gives a f**k about wisconsin. And you might be thinking "Well then why would that be the best state to live in?" Because of one reason. When I say "no one" cares about wisconsin, that means "No One." No Hillary Clinton bitch, no Barack Obama n-word, no george bush, no ted kennedy, and especially (and this is the most important), no terrorists. You will never in your life hear about terrorists bombing fuckin wisconsin (to all the brave men and women who have dedicated their lives to Wis-Tap, the wisconsin anti-terrorist movement, you have wasted your lives. Go kill yourself, preferably in a suicide bombing(LETS GET THIS BITCH ON THE MAP!!!)).

[Stumbleine]

I love San Francisco. Utah BLOWS!!!

In Texas you're legal at 17.

[transcendentalis...]

^win.

ever heard of debbie does dallas?
because we have eva, steven, and michelle, and probs more.

[Tung]

We have Sally, Anna, Trish, Elba, Tina, Me, Christina, and so much more.

[*Steven*]

Because bringing individuals over policies and generalities is a reason a state is better

[Tung]

Why do most immigrants go to California as their top choice when moving to the U.S?

[MissHygienic]

Because they arrive by boats, and they have to land somewhere on the coast. Angel or Ellis Island.

[Tung]

Fair enough.

Bush is from Texas.

[transcendentalis...]

so is jessica simpson, what a coincidence
we have cow-tipping :(

we need someone to argue a more random state... like tennessee.
ELVIS ELVIS ELVIS

[Tung]

I think California and Texas right now are very close to a tie.

If you'd like tremendous variety of geography (deserts to redwood forests, mountains, beaches and lakes), great weather, interesting variety of people, good economy, and a mostly left-learning philosophy, come to California.

If you like the geography of prairies, plains, piney woods and gulf beaches, really hot/cold weather, cowboy consciousness coupled with a few cultural centers, and a mostly right-learning philosophy (its death penalty executions are four times as high as any other state), visit Texas.

[*Steven*]

People land in California because it takes up the bulk of the western coast. Also there's a lot of work for immigrants. Texas has the same issue. We get all the walk-overs and the certified lawn mowers.

[*Steven*]

(its death penalty executions are four times as high as any other state), visit Texas.

I support this statement.

Legal in what way?

I vote not Georgia. Georgia sucks pretty much every way.
Having never been to Texas or California, I'm not sure my vote for either one would be particularly valid, but I'd be way more interested in going to California than I would Texas. Beaches, better climate (though really I hate the heat, so I might lose either way), I'm very liberal (so the whole high death penalty thing is not a selling point for me), and other more important things I'm sure.

[foxx]

We have beaches too? xD
Our nice ones are in Corpus Christi, Port Aransas, Galveston Island, etc?
the ones i can think of atleast

Texas weather is either too hot, or too cold. In California the weather is neither. It's usually warm. If it's winter, the temperature won't be too cold, and during summer, it won't be too hot. That's what makes California wonderful.

[foxx]

you've never been to texas tung
plus atm, its mid 60-70's
i like it atm
xD

[Tung]

California is the best state to live in.
Texas sucks.

Actually, I have been. I have relatives there. And I can tell you its relatively boring there. Not much to do, and the beaches don't compare to California's.

Even Steph, who lives in Texas, thinks California is better.

You mean LIQUID SHIT ISLAND? Galveston is FILTHY and DISGUSTING! You can die from swimming in it! It's worse than the restrooms in China!

I say North Carolina when it comes to weather. It's been years since we had a tornado or a earthquake or any bad weather in Winston-Salem. Now other cities gets bad weather so I guess you can't escape that right?

I agree with California being the best state when it comes to diversity but it's the weather in some places that bothers me. North Carolina is a great place to retire. Georgia is a great place for education and finding good jobs

So I have to say Georgia is the best place if I had to pick one but I think a lot of places are great.

What?!? Have you looked at the national rankings lately? So no, they're not second to last anymore, but that hardly makes it great. I haven't checked our unemployment rate lately, but good god Georgia isn't the "best place" next to much of anywhere.

I'd just ignore her. Unless you're going to make a personal attack she'll be too dumb to respond with anything other than "Oh I see" or "I guess" or "I agree."

[ersatz]

Illinois. It's really nice...if you've been there. It's got the interesting-ness and not too horrible of weather, etc. etc. Yeah.

[*CowerPointyObjects*]

I was genuinely hoping to get some idea of where she was coming from, but that is probably asking too much.

Illinois is too flat to be the best state. It's just depressing.
...although, I might be thinking of Indiana. Aren't the like the same place anyway, minus Chicago?

[*Steven*]

I LOATHE ILLINOIS BECAUSE OF THEIR COPS. Also they have weird bathrooms in rest stops. The stalls only go up half way Oo.

actually, if you've done some research on tsunamis, north carolina is doomed to be hit by a tsunami worse than any of the ones we've had in the past couple years. /gg

i love depressing documentaries.

and i do believe that in the early years of american history, all the inmates and nasty people were sent to georgia. haha. i can't tell you the years, but it's definitely in the textbook somewhere..

i personally love blazing texas weather.

[*CowerPointyObjects*]

Well it was also supposed to be a free state, but we all know how that turned out.

[sheridan_whitesi...]

Has anyone yet mentioned the state of Inebriation? Truly a fine place to dwell.

[Kontroll]

NY is okay.

High taxes.

Hot and humid summers.

Cold and dry winters.

Awesome during the Fall, though.

No beaches really, except on Long Island, but not much to see there.

If I'm not mistaken, Colonie, NY was voted the 6th safest city in the US. Kudos.

We are very industrial.

We're a bunch of assholes.

We have one of the greatest cities in the world. NYC, bitches.

We have the Adirondacks.

Cooperstown Baseball Hall of Fame, even though I hate baseball, it's still pretty cool that we got it.

The show Law and Order takes place in NY.

As does King of Queens.

A gallon of gas costs 3.20 roughly.

James Brown started out his career playing in Albany.



Overall, I'd say NY is a pretty good place to be. If you can get past some of the bullshit.

ha-ha. Have you gone to other parts of north carolina? Do you know how f**king bad the hurricanes are for us on the coast, it sucks. The summers suck as well >_> North Carolina is the last state I would ever want to live in >_>

We're a bunch of selfish assholes.

Yea thats what I like about you guys, especially your driving habits because the people down here are f**king idiots >_>

[DoubleJ]

Ok um New Jersey because:
The shore
It's close proximity to New York
All the Ivy League Schools are a stone's throw away from here
We have one of the best school systems in the country
Salt water taffy
They have Eddie and I enough said....NJ WINS!

[moorepocket]

new england, wherever that is.

[DoubleJ]

new england, wherever that is.

New England is a group of states just like the tri-state area lol!

[Joss-eh-lime]

^yeah i was thinking that too!


California becuase
1. the weather is awesome
2. you've got the beach, and the moutains all in one
3. it is culturally diverse
4. people get famous here

[karmakiller]

Wisconsin.

I live in Wisconsin.

Hey we have beaches! ...by our lakes. Just don't go into lake Michigan and you'll be fine. Don't camp out on the sandbars, like lots of dumbasses do, and you won't die.

We have a diverse climate. 100+ degrees in the summer and below zero in the winter. We have diverse people.

We have the world's largest urinal, does that count as a reason WI is cool? We have the world's largest water park! Cheyeah.

[Tramatize]

Deff not ohio!!!
Probably Iowa Florida or New York

[no-name]

Anywhere but Virginia. Northern Virginia is okay but Southern Virginia(where i live unforturnately) f**kin sucks. Southern Virginia is full of nothing but racist homophobic rednecks and fobs that think they are rednecks.

Probably the best place to live is New York or Delaware.

California is okay.

Texas sucks for the most part except for houston. I will never live in texas ever again

[breakingdawn]

Connecticut because we're all rich bitches.

Jk.

Not really.

Wealthiest state in the union hellz yeah.

Close to NYC.

Close to Boston.

Four distinct seasons.

Cute colonial towns.

Snow.

Nice stuff.

I don't even have to justify this. Everyone already knows CT is the best.

[superficial]

California is the best state to live at. Not because I live here, but because there are tons of way to enjoy yourself. There are shopping malls, great restaurants as well as sight seeing and etcetera, and it never gets extremely cold nor extremely hot. There are tons of stars (mostly in Hollywood, but I heard Vanessa Carlton lives in San Francisco). There are the mountains and beaches (as said by Joss-eh-lime). There are pretty great schools that educate you well. So, Californa is where it's at! Every states has its flaws, though.

[*Steven*]

Great schools in Texas. Tons of celebrities in Texas. Tons of malls in Texas. Gets hot here, but it gets plenty hot in California and you're kidding yourself if you think otherwise. Houston can have some nasty weather, but it's also loads cheaper to live here. Also, we have less strict laws on our every day lives. We have a set amount for tickets (not $197.50 at one light and $174.33 at a light a block away).

I have heard that most sports stars who can't play in California or New York or Boston, would want to play in Texas because the taxes are next to none. Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't Texas the state where they don't tax your wages or something like that?

[icecreamisyummy]

oh man i dont feel like readin all this but going off of javonn i know delaware is the only one that has no taxes.

i personally like pennsylvania.

theres philly then theres the poconos then theres hershey, pa we have amish its absolutely beautiful there.

#3, 11, 15, and 19 are all in TX and in the top 25. houston is awesome, imo. it's one of my most favorite places ever - but it's not the only nice place in texas.

[MissHygienic]

Isn't Texas the home of the many cities that are the fattest in this country?

[*Steven*]

I live in #3. Sugar Land ftw. Anyways, they say it's the fattest, but do you know how they derive these statistics? They don't go and sample the four million people living in this metropolitan area, they count how many restaurants we have. Since we have a lot of restaurants, we must be the fattest.

[S-Majere]

I'd love to live in Colorado.

[jaeman]

Ditto! And since I'm an avid mountain biker, Colorado is one of the best places to do so.

Is that true? I would figure places in California and cities such as Seattle to have a lot of restaurants (we have blocks of Starbucks and McDonald's) and to be the "fattest," then, but they were actually both on the "fittest" list. I never really knew how they got these statistics.

It is. I know a lot of people in Sugar Land are actually thin. There are a lot of thin people in Houston too, just a lot of fatties to go with the thinnies.

[Relentless]

You know, I think they mean by fat people like overweight than the average person.

If you guys seen Supersize Me, they mentioned Texas isn't one of the overweight state anymore. Texas ended up being on #2 or #3. The #1 state was somewhere south east, like Pennsylvania or something. Somewhere around there, forgot.

CALIFORNIA FTW. xD

[MissHygienic]

Well, that's something I never knew before. I never took their statistics to heart; I was just curious, but I found out more than I had thought.

But some people may not want all that stuff, Some people may want to live in like an area with nothing but farms and land, And that maybe considered the best to them :]

Today I'm inclined to say Iowa. The vast majority of the time I really wouldn't want to live there, though.

Back on topic, I maybe be a little biased because I'm a California native, but I'll just put a word in for California.

Dietary guidelines? I know I could look this up, but I prefer people-speak and not professional-speak. What are the guidelines?

Explaining the guidelines would take forever, they have multiple .PDF files that are uber long. But as an overview, they just explain the importance of nutrition, background information on what you eat, how to read a food label, the food guide pyramid, and they have a separate section which stresses physical activity.

[karmakiller]

People in Iowa are so freakin' nice. It's not natural. Dubuque is really, really pretty. Whenever I go to Iowa I always drive through Dubuque.

You want to know why WI isn't a good state to live in? Besides the fact that there's a lot of country, and not a whole lot to do. And that the city is a really dangerous place to be (some parts of Madison and Milwaukee). Our unemployment rate is around 5%. We have lots of people on welfare. I haven't travelled a whole lot, but most places I've been are better than here. I understand why most people who move away, stay away. If you like the outdoors you might like it here, but usually the crappy weather ruins it.

According to Governor Schwarzenegger, "Galyforkneeya" is the best state.
