No ... they move here because they hate us. They hate us so much they want to turn us blue and make Texas as pathetic as the states they are fleeing.
OR, WA, MD, MA, IL?
Lol...I concur.
Your friend was just tired of the change of seasons. I guess it’s better that he moved.
As for Gary being lovely, I grant you that one isn’t so much.
Awesome pizza though.
Same for NYC and NY.
Why was NY not on this list?
I wanted to add Michigan City and the Indiana Dunes were lovely last time I was there.
Indiana weather bad for his arthritis. He misses the people.
New Yorkers actually like their state. Beaches,boating, mountains, lakes, rivers, Broadway, schools. It’s the taxes and the politicians we hate.
He hates the AZ weather.
I stand corrected.
I agree. I’ve been going to Lake Hopatcong, NJ for vacations for 72+ years. Lovely.
We’re looking at KY, TN, IN.

I think you nailed it right there, FRiend: “it all depends on the criteria used for judging.”
Most hated states ... what a load of hooey!
I was a reporter/editor for 25 years. These various and sundry rankings come out every year from a bewildering variety of sources. In my view, they’re one step above political polls in credibility, although their potential for harm is generally less.
Case in point: Back in the 90s, I remember my newspaper making a big to-do out of a national ranking of “best places to live” that put our Virginia city in the top 25, or thereabouts.
Considering our city was under threat of plant closings at the time, I can understand why my editors felt the need for a feelgood story.
Of course, in succeeding years, our community was nowhere near that top 25 ranking.
What changed? Nothing really, except perhaps the criteria used to come up with the rankings.
Our town was still a safe, clean, neighborly place to live, albeit under some economic pressure — and no doubt too blue-collar culturally for the urban sophisticates who publish “top 25 rankings.”
We are friendly, kind and lovable in Jersey. And I’ll friggin kill anyone who disagrees !!!!!!
I love Oklahoma!
It’s actually a beautiful state once you get away from certain areas. The Revolutionary War history is amazing. In north central NJ you can’t go more than a couple miles without being on a battle, skirmish or encampment site. Washington spent almost 1/4 of the Revolutionary War in NJ.
Total BS.....
Shoot your practically next door. Western Somerset here, looking for a small farm in Readington as we speak.
