Which do you think is the best state in America?

[Melanie31]

Which state do you currently live in?/Which state would you like to live in?

[BCA6010]

Well... Ignoring the climate and scenery, it's almost certainly Texas, and more specifically the suburbs around the DFW area.

I much prefer the scenery of the mountain ranges or Pacific NW though,

[handsomelad70]

The Pacific Northwest is said to be gorgeous.

[BCA6010]

@handsomelad70 The parts I've been to are. If speaking strictly scenery though, Alaska handily beats out every other state in my opinion.

[handsomelad70]

A close friend visited Alaska last summer and showed me some pictures of the beautiful scenery there. (Luckily, it was August rather than February, when he might well have died of the Arctic cold.)

Thank you for the MHO.

Good and bad in every state. Depends on each persons personal life.

California has the economy of small countries. New York is America’s breadwinner. But housing prices in both are way overblown. Being said, that shouldn’t stop you from opportunities in those states.

Texas is a strange mix. We have high housing regulation and so cost of living here is low. And our Repub leaders are so pro business they provide tax free benefits at the cost of the poor.

[handsomelad70]

Probably California for the babes, and (believe it or not from this far leftist) Texas for a hot cowgirls.

NY NY is a playground like no other but I would rather be traveling so I could give you a more informed answer.

[OtterMan68]

If you like the cold and can afford the housing:

New Hampshire: low poverty, low crime, high standard of living.

[DJB72]

If you can be in it until 2029 I'd say "comatose" is probably the best state to be in in America right now...

[Kaneki05]

It's going to be a state that's one I forget exists and the reason why is because it's the most stable and has the least controversy problems.

[RedInnocent69]

California, if it wasn’t out of water and about to fall into the ocean.

[In_Trance]

That depends on how you define the term best.

If you like downhill skiing then Texas is not the best state.
If you like living Oceanside then it's definitely not Ohio

[Amur8711]

Texas, however it is losing that with more and more liberals swarming to it from California

[strateguy632]

the comfort is those millions of voters scattered will make the popular vote same as the electoral vote as they mix into the red majority of most states.

[kellytheman]

I am not sure it kinda had to say but I think somewhere warm like Florida or Cali and maybe Hawaii.

[patois]

Florida is the best state.

[AviatorTom]

I think North Carolina is a fine state.

[HighValue]

Not CA or NY.

[DrPepper12]

Why not? Just wanna see if we view it the same.

[HighValue]

High crime, homelessness, drug use, open racism against Whites and Asians in the school system, including unfair discipline practices based on race. Allowing criminals to steal under $950 worth of products, often without prosecution. Extra high taxes, including taxes that are disguised as environmental fees. For example, plastic bags shouldn't be used because they are bad for the environment. Can they still be used? Of course, as long as the state gets a $0.10 fee per bag that doesn't change environmental impact. Same goes for the extra $100 fee for buying gas powered lawnmowers, etc. CA also gives food stamps, medical, and college grants (from tax payer money) to illegals.
There is more, but you get the idea.

[HighValue]

I need to add that the information on NY is from research, news articles, live video streams showing some events, etc. Most of the references to things I don't like in CA is from living there for 37 years and personally seeing/experiencing it myself.

[exitseven]

I say it is Florida.

[Pterodon]

I love my gun rights where I live

[Anonymous]

Iowa. It ain't even close! IFYKYK.

[WhiteBoyChill]

I’m not sure
