Travel Info If you could live in any state in the United States, which would you choose and why? Travel Tips California ..... beautiful, lots of fun, nice people .... I also like Oregon but CA is the best for me !!!! Others New Jersey or South Carolina, because they have the lowest gas prices. Hawaii, for one thing, the weather. There is no snow or ice to deal with.... I would like to live in Raleigh, NC.... Great Place St. Louis, although i do not live there i have went there. In St. Louis you can take a ride on the arch, which is incredibly amazing, also go to the Budweiser brewery, i now that you may be thinking i don't drink or i am to young, but i was 13 when i went there, you get to tour around the building and see what it all takes to make beer, and also you can see some of the horses. While in St. Louise you can also go on a boat ride, on this boat ride you see just about all of the sites in St. Louise that you can imagine. If you go there in the spring or Summer time spend a day at the St. Louse Cardinal ball field, it is incredible! You will have a blast while in St. Louise. Ohio, (Cleveland), hands down In fact, one could, with a well-paying job, maintain a residence in any state of the United States. That was not what you asked. You asked what is the best state in my judgment. "Best" means having the highest priorities I define as needed for enjoyable "life conditions", not just "maintaining continued existence", these being the most available to me in one place as measured against all others, or their being present in the highest measure, or there being there a sort of value available in such amounts that's to be found nowhere else. That seems to leave open the possibility of three--to--six places, one or two of which possesses one of the three sorts of priorities I just wrote own, but not the other two, in the highest amounts in each case. One atate is unlikely to possess the highest degree of priorities in all three cases. Priority One--availability of highest values. At ordinary levels of income, one such place--climate aside--would be Oregon or Washington. And another might be any relatively good-weather state not terribly poor, backward nor disorganized under a poorly-considered administration policy. New Mexico and Florida have long been people's choices for these qualities, as retirees, for instance. The second priority, the highest amenities of city life, expense aside, are found in New York and San Francisco, CA. Beyond question, this is where culture is formulated and disseminated. The third quality, unique cultural qualities available nowhere else depends for its answer on what one wants. New England town democracy, the laid-back life of the South, the open wildness of the West, the tropical appeal of Hawaii, the smaller city life in the Midwest, Maine's Coast and Nevada's unspoiled sections, Virginia and Maryland's mixture of appeals, etc.etc.--all have something that other states do not. Overall, the best states appear to be Long, Island, New York (ignoring the state's property tax), the Bay area of northern California, far enough away from the city to be affordable, and northern Arizona and New Mexico which seem fine destinations near enough to cultural centers and airports also. Perhaps Minnesota has the best of the Midwest, Virginia the best of the east coast and Vermont and New Hampshire the best of the upper Northeast. New York, Long Island, is nest for me. I prefer the people, who think before talking and are not completely tribalized nor anti-cultural. I've lived for extended periods of time in Virginia, California, Arizona and North Carolina and visited over 40 states. So I know what I am talking about. If one cannot afford the property tax and housing in New York, then my second choice would be either northern New Mexico or the Bay area of California, followed by Virginia-Maryland then near the Ohio River. |
