Disregard politics or people what’s the worst state to live in?

[jayhawk]

It’s kind of hard to say because it’s the people that really make a state what it is.

 

[Fowl Play]

For all you people that hate Florida, spread the word! 400,000 people moving here every year… Gators will bite your legs off, mosquitos will carry your children away, and there’s so many fake tits at the beach you’ll be in a perpetual fight with the misses!

That’s because when you leave out politics and people. California is probably top 5 states in the US.

Incredible weather, incredible scenery, incredible hunting, incredible fishing…. Just ruined by politics.

Thanks regan

Florida is the runaway winner for me. It's so flat and humid and hot. I'm sure it's fun if you're an airboat junky, but the whole state is about one good whale piss from being under water. The highest elevation in the state is 345 feet.

Everyone I've ever talked to that moved there regretted it. The beaches are great to visit but once their novelty wears off, there's nothing left.

Whale pisss that killed me.

I'll give a shout out to FL as a place to visit. My buddy lives near Bradenton and on a 3 day trip in January we fished inshore and offshore and hunted hogs and ducks. Tons to do down there for a sportsman.

Years ago all the states mentioned were great places to live, you couldn’t find a better place than California with its beauty, beaches, mountains but people raped it and now people are fleeing it. Washington and Oregon were great places too but the liberal way of thinking is ruining those states too.

Philadelphia sucked ass... for so many reasons. So my vote is for PA, and all the surrounding states too.

Florida is the worst ! Non driving F**ks everywhere , people leave the shithole state they live in to come down here and screw it up for six months . Driving ten miles under the speed limit while pointing out every little thing to their company , "We had shrimp there , it was delicious" and "We get ice cream there" .
STAY HOME !

OK , that was funny . I was being a little sarcastic , must've went over your head , but these threads are symbolic of the trouble living anywhere .
People screw everything up , if there is a nice place to live , everyone and their brother move there and soon it's the worst place to live .
Traverse City in Michigan used to be a great place to live , then the rich people found out about it and now it sucks , too much traffic and the price of homes is ridiculous .
Paradise sucks if it's full of people .

My job allows me to live anywhere I want. And I wouldn't want to live anywhere but DFW. But without the people as part of the equation, Texas would definitely be at the bottom of the list of places to live. Too hot and flat. I'd move back to Oregon in a heartbeat if it weren't for the people.

I completely understood the sarcasm and responded in kind.
Michigan sucks. My lady is from there and the fact that its gloomy 6 months of the year kills it for me.

As someone that lived and grew up in ND and moved to AK…. I think that’s a pretty outlandish statement. There’s far more opportunity in AK outdoors wise.

With unlimited money and time off from work, sure. But the few years after college that I lived in ND I shot 100 ditch parrots each year just going before work and on the weekends. That was while living and working in the capital city. We did plenty of waterfowl hunting before work too. A person could shoot a limit of ducks and geese, make it to church, then go catch a limit of walleyes, and still have time to sit in the deer stand if you wanted to. And then sleep in your own bed. I could be at work any day in the fall and if the weather was right, I could just take off and go sit in the stand. You can literally set 100's of snares all winter within an hour drive and not need an ATV. Besides a couple of villages, there are very few places in AK like that, if any. And the ice fishing isn't even in the same conversation.

We got well-paying jobs with plenty of time off and I've made some great relationships with a few pilots/transporters, so I can make AK worth it. But even going on a few fly out trips a year and baiting bears each spring, I still can only realistically hunt maybe 1/3 of the days I used to be able to in ND with WAY less of a headache and taking virtually no days off of work. As far as world class hunting/fishing within a 20-minute drive from your front door, ND is hard to beat.

Edit to add: your results may be different if you grew up east of Valley City. They should draw a line straight north and south of Valley City and give everything East to Minnesota.

South Carolina or maybe Mississippi

Sc has all the negatives of the weather and climate and environment of the south without the mountain quality or coast within driving that NC has or the fishing/environmentand climate of Florida. Charleston is neat for a trip but meh, the estuary is fine for fishing but it’s tucked way too far in from the gulf for offshore big stuff and the tides are too high for wading/gigging

The armpit southeast states that don’t have anything specifically to make themselves better than the others really blow imo.

I’ve not spent much time in Kansas except driving as fast as I can to not be in it so I’m one to think it ranks pretty high.

 

[doc holiday13]

Colorado. It’s full of stinky hippies, tons of introduced super wolves, no elk or deer and snow 11 months out of the year!

They said to leave politics out of it lol

 

[sodaksooner]

Clearly I haven’t driven as much as some of you guys but for me it’s Nebraska. Definitely worse than Kansas, approximately 3/4 of the state reeks of cow farts.

Close 2nd goes to Ohio.

At least I80 goes through the Platte River valley in NE. Kansas is pretty bad out west. That said, if you get off the interstate.... well, no that doesn't help either....

On the OK front, the places the interstates run are pretty bad, but you have the "mountains" in the SE and some of the country out west is pretty cool. Ive lived here for longer than I care to think about and prefer SD, but it isn't too bad.

I was in florida the last two weeks and it has some cool spots, but OMG the traffic was atrocious. I did manage to see one deer, about the size of a poodle....

I was not impressed with NJ, even in the country. Not sure I could live there....

I was there for two weeks for work and thought the same thing. People just sit in the left lane and run the same speed as the right. So frustrating. We made the mistake of driving from Bradenton to Orlando on a Saturday. It is like rolling islands of traffic for miles on end. I was so happy to drive back that evening and the traffic being marginally better, I never drove less than 90 if there was open road. It was insane!

I have a low tolerance for people in masses. So, the answer is the most densely populated state. Massachusetts, New Jersey maybe? No thanks, tailgate drivers, people walking with heads buried in cell phones, trash everywhere, horns and alarms going off all the time, too much light to see the stars, cities that smell like sewers. Ugh. Any state with less people and more open space is fine with me, including aforementioned OK and ND, neither anywhere close to the worst IMO.
