Florida is the worst state in the nation in every way, new rankings say
Miami Hurled ^ | 1/28/18 | HOWARD COHEN

Florida ranks dead last when it comes to rating the best states in the nation. Michigan ranks No. 1, the very best state in the union.

Let that sink in for awhile. Michigan, the state that gave us the Motor City Madman, Ted Nugent and Kid Rock (the poor man’s Ted Nugent), is 49 states better than Florida.

Thrillist’s Definitive and Final Ranking of All 50 States list ranked the states “based on everything.” Specifically, the states’ contributions to America, like inventions, food and drink, “somewhat productive famous people,” and unique physical beauty, among other things.

NW Florida is one of the best places in the world.

We have many retired military friends who decided you were correct. So after they retired, they moved there.

Our youngest BIL a mere 70 year puppy and his wife leave their snow bound mid west home on New Year’s Eve and drive to NW coastal Floriduh and stay there until about Easter.

When their oldest daughter’s son finishes college in 2019, they will probably just move there. They have told their siblings that they can’t stand Illinois politics, winters and summers, and they will probably just pull the plug and leave. We suggested that they legally make Floriduh their home for taxes and go back to Illinois in the spring and come out here in the summer/fall. Then, go back to Floriduh after Thanksgiving.

Hey Zenzitman, Move back. The rain here is what causes.........GREEN. You could give me a $10,000,000 mansion in “Vegas” and I would stay in my green state.

Hope that your skin doesn’t get moldy. In Vegas it drys up and falls off!

I’ve lived in DFW, which I assume Dfwgator is from, and live in North Central Florida now. There are more Yankees here, both retired and otherwise than Texas. My demographic is older folks, which comprise a large part of my area, so I don’t see the larger picture, I imagine.

Where I live, housing is inexpensive, the cost of living is low, and the area is rife with horses and golf courses. The downside can be the humidity in the summer and hurricanes.

Old people here cause more accidents than any of the 6 other states I have lived in.

Most of those "Old People" come from the states you seem to think are better than Florida. Some transplants from NYC and the east come here and learn to drive for the first time in thier 60's and older.

I want to find a summer home in Michigan.

I bought one last year. I've always loved what we call the 'near north'... the area around the Great Lakes that is say north of the 46th in Michigan and Ontario. Hunting, fishing, offroading, boating (in small lakes and big ones) and fantastic summers (once you've figured out how to deal with mosquitoes and blackflies), great people and so much space with sparse population that the peace and quiet is unmatched. Just a few miles from our place, I can boat into a bay that has about one mile of totally isolated pristine beach that only gets visited by me and whoever I take there ....and the odd straggler about once a year who somehow manages to figure out how to get there. I unfortunately have to travel elsewhere on business on a frequent basis but this place is a real jewel that I get back to as fast as I can. My 'winter place' is about 8 hours south and in about another 3 years, it will be about a lot further south. My biggest fear with the place? Folks will eventually figure out what an incredible spot it is and it will be overrun!

I've got a buddy who married someone from Michigan and he HATES it. He always says Michigan is the Mississippi of the North. Or, more correctly, Mississippi is the Michigan of the South.

Of course, he's a liberal, so take the above for what it's worth.

When cotton was king, Mississippi was one of the richest states in the nation. You’d never know that to look at it now.

michagan and Pennsylvania and ohio and California and Washington and NYS are all alike in one category....get away from the major cities and its is very nice, rural, with solid citizens, farmland, trees, rivers, wildlife...

within just a few miles away from NYC you can find deer, and there's a good bear "problem" even in New Jersey...

its the big cities that ruin every single state..

We just got Publix here in VA. Are the subs really that good? Is there one you’d suggest?

I have had better at ethnic Italian places but Publix subs are pretty darn good and fully stuffed. You can have it made with Publix brand meats/cheese or Boar's Head for one dollar more. The Publix meats-cheeses are good enough for me. You can get white bread or a delicious whole wheat bread which I opted for when I vacationed in FL.
