New Jersey Pro’s - like NY, the entire state is not like NYC, Newark or Camden.
The politics here in N.E. are terrible, but the soil is amazingly productive, fresh clean water is plentiful, and I’d rather throw more wood on the fire during the long, cold winters than deal with southern heat or western drought. Don’t like cockroaches, hobo spiders, or scorpions from those exotic places either so I’ll just put up with the deer flies instead - highland swamp yankee born, highland swamp yankee I’ll die.
The author is a twit,he writes at a third grade level.
Any place this Leftist doesn’t want to live is a good place to consider. How do I know he’s a Lefty? In TX, he lists as a “pro” Austin, the Liberal anus of the state,
and George Bush as a “Con.” We don’t want you here, Michael.
Any list that misses something as big as the Atlantic or the Pacific coast and fails to consider it a positive is immediately irrelevant
North Carolina
Pros: southern hospitality, warm weather, Great Smoky Mountains National Park
Cons: hurricanes, not enough jobs, multiple nuclear power plants
*****
Shallow reasoning. Anti-nuclear-power dipshiites get no points from me.
The general concept is good, though: there is no “best state” or anything like that, there’s only the place each individual believes would suit him best.
Putting nuclear powerplants as a con, rather than a pro tells me that the rest of the article is not worth reading.
I went thru this same mental excercise and also put Idaho at the top. Much of it really isn’t as cold as you’d think, but cold is a minor minus from my perspective.
Add millions of residents, and it might not be so nice.
Taxes are no big problem if you’re not working... Might as well go for the nice weather.
It's smoking!
Today will be 97 or 98 with 100% humidity.
..just the normal July to Sept with a few 100 degree days thrown in.
I love Michigan despite the Cancer which isn’t Detroit by the way, the real Cancer is places like Ann Arbor and Kalamazoo.
That said I have little use for most cities.
Maybe when viewed from 40,000 ft.
"...political correctness, ridiculous regulations, insane politicians..."
Hell, that's not just in NH: that's everywhere. I grew up in NH and the only real negative is the cold and snow.
As a friend of mine used to say about the weather in NH: "nine months of winter and three months of damn poor sledding".
Georgia - warm weather...
Yeah if you like incredibly hot humid stifling heat!! for about 4 months in the fall its great... the rest of the time
dont go outside!!
(forgive me, Davy Crockett)
Adding to the cons in PA: Lousy roads, stupid reckless drivers, high taxes, poor municipal services, a heavy infestation of liberals, the boy mayor of Pittsburgh who is more concerned about Chick fil A than fixing roads, still powerful unions, particularly teachers and government workers, bad schools. Probably more, but I can’t think of them.
One pro is housing. You can still buy a reasonably priced home here, provided you are working.
Lists Iowa, Illinois, and other central states as “good farming”. Ha! I wouldn’t trade my corn bins for theirs, if you threw in $5. a bushel! In between those 10,000 lakes, we’ve got record harvests.
Branson is a pro???
This guy considers nuclear power plants a negative?! So we know to just flip his ratings. Oh and AZ is bigger than most of the European nations, you can live here your whole life and never go to Phoenix.
in Florida, there is none of that overrated "southern hospitality"' other than a dwindling portion of the panhandle.
New York should be reversed, the rest of the state wishes it had NYC's amenities and high real estate prices. Upstate can be lovely, but it's population centers have been bleeding jobs and population as part of the rust belt, while suburban Lawn Guyland has a stagnant population and high taxes, without the class and excitement of NYC.
The best thing about NJ is that you can live near NYC but get more square footage for your condo. That and tax free clothing. Other than that, nada.
