I think that California is the best state to live in because the weather is pretty great. It doesn't get too hot and it also doesn't get too cold.

California. It's actually never too hot or too cold. Because of the breeze coming from the coast. I would say the Bay Area is the best weather in all of California. It never gets under 50 degrees, or over 95 degrees. Hence never too hot or too cold.

But one day California will separate from the USofA and go floating in the ocean. In Texas, of course, we know that this will never happen because Oklahoma sucks.
:D I like Texas. Sure it's hot, but still. It's pretty cool. |

I haven't lived in any other states to judge them but..
I think California is the best. Great weather Famous people Good schools/College system/UC Berkeley/Stanford Very diverse Beaches/mountains/etc Two of the well known cities in the world- San Francisco and Los Angeles Big state A lot of olympians grew up here and/or trained here (I think) Very high Minimum wage-8 bucks (But the cost of living is high also) California is in debt right now.. Enron *ahem* Texas. hahaha

I live in NM, which is by far not the best state. I dont know much else cause I havent traveled much. But NM is beautiful, I think everyone should get a chance to see it.

CA is great for it weather blah blah so many other places are too! I live in CA and Im lucky to have everything I want and need... but people come here for opportunity and job placement or to make it in the industry... CA is supposed to be the "golden state" yet housing is ridiculous compared to other states... its so HIGH here! and when the economy fails we get hit the hardest! Our prices are marked up twice as much compared to any where else... CA is in a HUGE debt and always will be. We have the highest rate of homes in foreclosure.
If you want to raise a family you should know: we have the WORST education system in the US. even our colleges are looked at as jokes by other state colleges. Our city's have such high crime rates. WE have so many damn immigrants (nothing against immigrants)... I think it's great if you come here to our country to start a new life (legally). I can go on all day... yes we have a great minimum wage... if you want to live pay check to paycheck!!! I love ca and Im happy with the life I have... I just want people to be aware it isn't some fantasy state... I think any other state is great to live in... in suburban area and work in the city... hmmmmm |

Texas, because you can get the most house for your money, and the it is one of the only places that the economy has barely effected it, it can support itself so well that it has thought about becoming a seperate country. And guys, put balls on the back of their trucks. lol

Which part?
edit: ill explain them both. I am not sure why, but the best part of texas in my opinion is Dallas, and we live 40 minutes away from dallas, and 20 from southlake where my parents jobs are. We have the grapevine like, and it is a great place to live, and the houses have the lowest dollar per square foot rate then anywhere else. That is a good thing. And we are currently moving, an the price of our house barely moved at all during the economy crisis. It didnt appreciate but it didnt go down, and no other houses near us have either. Recently the governor or soemthign of texas announce that texas was thinking about secceding from the us. Everyone knows we wont but we just wanted to show off and say that we could if we wanted to to.  ^truck balls. Only texans use them.
