When deciding where to settle down and raise a family, there are many important factors to consider.

The personal-finance website WalletHub released a new report ranking the best states to raise a family, evaluating states according to 50 metrics across five categories: family fun, health and safety, education and childcare, affor1.

1. Massachusetts

WalletHub named Massachusetts the best state to raise a family, citing its low unemployment rate, good school systems, and safety for children's health and well-being.

Really? Modern day Massachusetts,the home of the Kennedy's?

Anyway the image that Business Insinder used, was basically creepy.

safety for children's health and well-being.

Hard to imagine straight up communism can be good for children?

And my state,the Gay State (Massachusetts),is also the state in which your 15 year old daughter is most likely to encounter males in the ladies’ room...the locker room...as champions in girls’ sports...

[riverrunner]

Yea right, Massachusetts.

You got to be kidding.

[enumerated]

It depends whether or not you want your children to become trannies and Marxists.

The Newton school system is Ground Zero for denying parents access to the materials regarding gay indoctrination assemblies at the schools, as well as opting out of these programs.

How meaningful are statewide criteria , to determine the best state for raising children? And how do they select the criteria they use , and how is it that they ignore certain other criteria?

ROTFLMFAO!!!

Right. Way back in the 1970’s I found out the Marshfield MA school system had arranged for a psychologist to treat my 6th grade son at the school without my or my husband’s knowledge. He was “too shy,” they said. Thankfully, we moved out of state soon after. He is now a fine, not shy, successful adult.

And an arm and a leg for daycare and housing. Then factor in fascist indoctrination, dumbing down of public school children and legalized recreational mind altering drugs…it’s an undeniable utopia, eh!

Is this article a satire?

[BigFreakinToad]

2,4,8 if I were to move. the rest can go to hell

[packagingguy]

Yes I can kinda see this providing you have a hefty salary to compensate for the cost of living.

It’s so strange, places like Vermont and Maine you sure do find a lot of white people.

Why doesn’t Business Insider like my ghetto?

LOL. Having worked there for four years while in college, I got to know the folks in Newton Centre pretty well. They were all nuts. Perhaps this is not surprising given that they were represented by Barney Frank for decades in Congress.

I hope your male or female child does not get into the shooting sports.
