Is Texas the best state in which to live?

Quote from 377OHMS:

Just curious, what is wrong with Arizona, the immigrant thing?

Apparently, you've never had to register a car there. (It ain't cheap.)
 
Quote from jem:

Very few places in the world can compete with North County San Diego. I am stoked I am currently able to make enough money to pay to have a family of 6 live here. Its not cheap, but it is awesome.

Jem...

You are one lucky man. If you ever have to leave just move up to San Luis Obispo. Really good in that area.
 
Quote from pspr:

Art, are you a Hot Tornado or a Mexican Fire Ant? :D

Seriously, think about some place like Colorado. If you can deal with the liberals and one super cold week a year, it's a great place......

One super cold week a year??? Never figured you to be a heavy drinker, Pspr. Or, maybe your definition of super cold is a lot different than mine. Does it ever snow in Colorado? (DUH) ...Then it's super cold!!!

I always like these threads about living preferences. I can't understand how people can survive in really cold climates.

Can someone explain a little about the good qualities of Portland? I have never been there, but it seems to be popular with many. What's the tax situation like? State income tax, car registration, property tax, etc. Also, I believe it rains a lot there, no?

Florida is one category 5 hurricane away from being blown in to oblivion
California is a constant fear of the next Big One: a major personal income tax rate increase
New York... is well New York
Illinois is cold and flat like Nicole Richie

Then there is Texas... Texas has potential.

Hot weather and full of assholes who think Texas is God's gift to the world.
 
Quote from Arthur Deco:

Fire ants. Mexicans. Latter day carpetbaggers. Tornadoes. Heat. Drought. White trash. Uppity coloreds. Consider Huntsvile Alabama instead. It only has four of the above eight. Take it from me. I live in Texas. I am two of the above eight. A choice is a terrible thing to waste.

I hear Huntville is great place to live. Centered betweeen Bham, Nashville, Atlanta, Memphis. 6 hours from the Gulf, 90 mins from the Smoky Mountains. Also Central Time Zone. NASA is there. Tons of PHD's, Engineers. Los Alamos East.
 
Quote from bond_trad3r:

Alabama? Hahahhahahahahahaha...

The only real choices are Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming.

Have you been to Wyoming? Its uninhabitable unless you are in Jackson. There's are reason there is only 300k in the entire state. Western South Dakota looks like ppl from Deliverance. I live in Denver and have driven alot through both. Western SD has nice trees and Mount Rushmore but nothing else. Nevada has the highest unemployment rate as of last week. My buddy is from NH but he said the summer are brutal with black flies and winter is very harsh. Texas if you can handle the heat and humidity depending on city maybe. Best state economically TX.

Right but the Gulf is going to be a toxic dump for a couple of decades.
 
Quote from number22:

Montana and North Dakota are both better places in US.

Second based on the criteria we're using...I don't think those states have little or anything "against" to live :D

(maybe a blizzard or two in ND)
 
Personally i've only lived in 2 states....Washington St. and Mississippi

WA St. is clearly the winner there hah

But Mississippi certainly has it advantages if you can find a decent job which is the main question here.
The price of everyday life is just insanely cheap compared to other places around

Like my car insurance is only $21 a month, just got a new car license plate a couple weeks back and that was $25 bucks, and $500 a month will pay rent at a nice place that'd easily be a grand or 2 anywhere else
