Which state in the usa is best?

Well, I've lived in Massachusetts, Texas, Mississippi and California. I've been to most states (I was in a band that toured heavily :rasta: ) and I have to say that my favorite is California.

Oregon and Hawaii place 2 and 3.

San Franicisco is my favorite city in America, beating New York City and Portland Oregon by a little.

Actually, I really like Portland, Oregon a lot!

Thats where I live...Portland, Oregon. Right downtown.

North Carolina.

I live in NC, and it's never dry. D:

ok yea i know i havnt traveled to all the states so my response is kinda biased. well incredibly biased lol. i think california is a pretty damn kickass state mostly because its all around liberal. i had a dude coem up to me the other day and geniuly ask me if weed was still illegal...hed forgotten lol.

Missouri all the way

Just because its so beautiful any time of the year. Its kind of between the midwest and the west. And the ozarks are just awesome. Oh and... I'm just kidding. I love missouri its where i was born and live in but its not the best. Just a little too bland here even in Kansas City

i cant believe no one has said maine. no one knows how good maine is. maines the best fuckingplace

California for sure, or maybe Nevada, the desert in between them is fuckin' nice...

But it's a really nice place to live... really!

where do y'all live? i must say the smog and traffic of OC/LA where i've live my whole life is pretty bad; wouldn't mind trying the bay area though

i've moved to boulder, colorado and if you love the outdoors, it's bloody fantastic, if you don't, there's not much else for ya; denver's a rather nice beat town though

detroit is a hellhole, sadly IMHO, so much "roger and me" devestation

lots of family in flint, so slowly recovering

on CA: those who say "california has everything" are absolutely right, it does. everything good and BAD. polution, greed, fast-paced money-grubbing lifestyle, mountains and oceans, though beaches are crowded and poluted; and OC is so very fake it's frightening

MISSISSIPPI MOTHERFUCKERS!!!

so all you blue heads best convert to red or green for awile.
you can go blue again after cannabis prohibition ends

What state is best for what? Best for low cost of living, which affects every aspect of your life? Probably one of the Midwest states. Best for the weather? Probably California, as long as you don't mind the occasional earthquake, rolling blackout, massive fire or the feds crawling around like ants. What's best for taxes and debt relief? Probably Texas. What's best for skiing? Probably Colorado. What's best if you're a writer? Probably New York.

Every state is probably best at *something*, if not several somethings. You just have to figure out what your priorities are. I like low cost of living, personally. My household brings in a tad under $100k/year. In California that'd be...okay, not bad. Middle class. Not much of it would be disposable income there, but we'd do okay. But where I live, that's really quite GOOD. In fact, that's not far from being half the price of a house in this area, whereas comparable houses in California cost half a million on up. The ideal situation would be to live in the Midwest and reap the rewards of the low cost of living, but telecommute and work for a California-based or New York-based company and make THEIR wages...but spend it where you live, where everything is much cheaper.

O H I O, no place like home

Oh and the buckeyes will smash the blue this year and remain #1 in the rankings.

Have a nice day

IDAHO HANDS DOWN

^^ ditto that. ^^

Gotta love Idaho.

florida (is thats a state???), new york or cali

New Jersey is the richest state in america. I think when I retire i'm moving over there to get away from the city.

Hawaii. It is so beautiful and green. Laid back atmosphere. Lot different than where I live which is Arizona.

fucking michagan(and OSU), go notre dame!

i love maryland, but i wanna venture out further. id go with CALI as the best though.

fuk osu???
boy quit hatin!!! everyone knows osu will remain#1!!

New Hampshire, Home to the Free State Project! It's the free-est state in the nation, and also has the lowest taxes.

Well, being that I'm from Colorado. I gotta say here. Not to mention, Amm. 44 should be passing *crosses fingers* this Nov.
Not that that means much, but it is a small step.

ALASKA

Why? Simple: http://stopthedrugwar.org/chronicle-...6/alaska.shtml

And we can snowboard for 2/3 of a year then have a beautiful summer where the sun doesnt go down and its a steady 80 degrees. Lots of mountains and rivers. Wildlife, fishing, still have decent sized metropolitan areas like Anchorage and Fairbanks. Not to mention theres a million russians and natives to drink with, they are fun haha.

Alaska FTW ggkthx!!11!!eleven!1!!:rasta:

California's got tons to do, awesome weather and great scenery. Within 20min to 5 hour drive of my house I can be at the beach, the redwood forest, high in the mountains, or hanging out in the desert depending on which direction I go. I can spend all day mountain biking, go home, shower and then head into the city for the night. There's no need to choose between living in the country or in the city because they are right next to each other here. Not to mention the fact that we've got some of the best weed in the country combined with some of the most lenient weed laws around.

Here in California
the fruit hangs heavy on the vine
but there's no gold
i thought i'd warn you
and the hills
turn brown in the

agreed just need to make my way down to portland, i'd miss the beach too much though

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGutbbQ0coY

and dont forget all the great mushrooms and pot!

california, specifically the northern part.

The area is so beautiful, with so many opportunities, that nobody has to distract themselves from their shitty existence by getting all amped up for football. Although they're still free to, if they want... for some reason.

oregon and colorado are too good to top! i have been blessed enough to live in both, and i think i'll always live in one of the two.. at the moment, eugene, OR.

I was born and raised in california. I think cali is a great state to live in but i also think that it is way to over populated, theres to much traffic, theres to much smog and its just getting boring to be here.... heres some perks though cuz i love cali.... beaches,mountains,forests,lakes,medical cards,inn n out,sun, heat, snow,

Montana :D

The Garden State... Best tasting Tomatoes and Corn in the Entire USA...

N. Ca (its a different state from S. Ca as far as im concerned) 2 hrs from snow 6 from desert 1 from the beach. Best medical marijuana laws:rasta: and some of the worst gun laws:mad: .

Maryland! We have it all.

Good weed, Baltimore, close to New York, skiing, mountains, Chesapeake bay, hot summers, cold winters, beautiful fall and spring, great beaches, marshlands and bay area, crabs, Natty Boh beer, Lewis Black, 4 of the top 10 richest counties in the nations, yet they're not snobs, Johns Hopkins, Cal Ripken, decent law enforcement (except Ocean City), farms, long winding rodas, beautiful state parks, and loads more...

Growing up here I though it was boring, but now it's much more exciting :D

BTW:
I know you said Chesapeake bay,but you did not say Blueclaw Crabs!!!
