Worst States in the US

[Jason76]

New Hampshire is way better than Vermont. they have pretty much the same things but better. better skiing, mountains, syrup, industry, history, average income, cities in general, schools, forests, sports, laws, more freedom(NH is the most free state), no sales tax, no income tax, and people. plus there are just too many Vermonters who are really New Yorker wannabees.

Have you been there?

My least, and most hated state? Alabama. I'm living in it right now.

Not enough business, not enough jobs, not enough products, not enough... anything. House prices are rock bottom that you can basically buy the house for half the value what Silicon Valley prices their houses. Find a good job, pay your house in about a year. Boom. Profit. But it's not ideal to live in. Or to sell a house. Nobody wants to buy a house here, I'm serious.

Nobody wants to build a business here. Some do, but 90% of the time, you shut down in a year, or more. I keep telling family that this is a bad idea. Been saying it since we moved here. Why? Because nobody's going to spend 30 minutes or an hour just to get from A to B just to see some small startup's shop. It's that bad. So, wherever you are, please appreciate where you live. I wish I could move from this shithole.

I like humid weather like in East TN where I live (or Alabama). California would be too dry.

California has scorching heat sometimes, but it's manageable. It's not often you find 100 degrees heat, but it's "cool" most of the year. Rain comes during Winter, Spring, and Fall, and sporadically in Summer. Alabama has FREQUENT Rains, FREQUENT Thunder/Lighting Storms - especially during Summer. Which is stupid, and odd for Summer. Thunder/Lighting storms rumble areas, enough to scare dogs or puppies.

Your electricity goes out more frequently because of this crap. I really wish I was in California right now. I just am not liking this.

I am sometimes used to change, but this one hits me pretty hard because of the things I mentioned. *sigh*

I traveled to Tennessee. Nice place. 🙂

Are you originally from Alabama or the Southeast?

Are you originally from Alabama or the Southeast?

Neither. I moved from Silicon Valley, to Birmingham, AL.

I moved from Silicon Valley

Exactly. I was in the middle of a slow upward trajectory.

Have you been there?

Nope. Just information that i haerd

 

[Jason76]

Didn't Harold and Kumar visit Alabama? Surely their experience isn't typical!

Vermont is better than New Hampshire. NH is only "free" if you don't believe in negative freedom.

Why is everyone so interested in Vermont and New Hampshire? No offense, what's there?

I mean, I'm interested in some places like South Africa, but an annoyed South African lady (forum poster) said I should live there for 10 years before commenting.
