  1. Guessing: High property taxes, housing costs, overcrowded, rental costs, income taxes, weather, crime in some parts, food prices, traffic, air pollution in some parts.
    373
  2. Guessing: California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Colorado, Nevada, Illinois, Nebraska, Utah, and Oklahoma

  3. Oh so this is the second part of a twenty part series.
    122
  4. At least that construction dude in the TN portion was wearing a hard hat when he was smashing his head against the wall.

  5. Before the Internet every place was better.

  6. I just want a piece of land where I can pitch a ⛺️

  7. Definitely visit SD for extended period of time. The western part is completely different from the eastern part. Winters can be brutal there, especially in the plains, which is the majority of the state. The Black Hills is more scenic, but make sure you have AWD on your car during the winter. Taxes and cost of living are much less for sure. However, you might get some Midwest nice out there. No big cities, and it could be a big culture shock relative to Bergen County. Probably less so, for a NW Sussex County resident, but even Sussex County NJ is a hop, skip, and a jump, relative to how far it is from the NYC metro area. The distances you have to travel in SD are huge. The best of luck to you and yours, and Go Jets next year and the Devils this year.

  8. Guessing: Columbus, OH, Greenville, SC, Fort Wayne, IN, Spartanburg, SC, Des Moines, IA, Omaha, NE, Lansing, MI, Chattanooga, TN, Huntsville, AL, and Tulsa, OK

  10. Leeches too.
    17
  11. Per Boise, I would be depressed too, if I had to rely on the local pay scale relative to the cost of housing.
    15
  12. Surprised CT or AZ didn’t make the list. AZ is full of transplants from CA, MI, OH, TX etc. CT, especially the SW part, is extremely status conscious.
    14
  13. LA, SF, St Louis, Memphis, LV, New Orleans, Miami, NYC, Boston, Washington DC
    14
  14. Let me guess against in no particular order: AZ, TX, NM, CA, NV, LA, IL, NY, OH, AK
    13
  15. My guesses are: LA, New Orleans, Detroit, Washington DC, Cleveland, Chicago, Baltimore, San Francisco, NYC, and Providence.
    13
  16. AZ, WV, MS, NM, SD, AR, AL, NV, HI, and LA, guessing in no particular order
    12
  17. Surprised no place in western AR or SE OK made the list. There is some great scenery there.

  18. I learned that Carson City was the capitol of Nevada from a Bugs Bunny episode when it used to air on Saturday Morning cartoons
    12
  19. Wow never in my life, thought to spell it backwards.
    12
  20. Let me guess before I even watch this. 1. No substantial jobs 2. High costs of housing 3. Merchandise is overpriced 4. Winters are cold 5. Altitude 6. Attitude 7. Too many tourists 8. Too small for a Capitol city 9. Political dissent depending on your stance. 10. Roads are bad 11. Overpriced restaurants. 12. Bad parking or parking is few and far between. Hopefully I hit some. I like it there though, the weather is awesome. The scenery is hard to beat. Had a great time there in the fall of 18. Like it better than Sedona, AZ
    12
  21. Guessing in no particular order: Denver, Phoenix, Bakersfield, Los Angeles, San Bernadino, Albuquerque, Tucson, Houston, Dallas, and Detroit.
    11
  22. They will probably be in: St Louis, Memphis, Detroit, Camden, Chicago, Newark NJ, East NY, Hartford, and Philadelphia.
    11
  23. I have come across the opposite type of people, where they hail from someplace in the Adirondacks and act like they come from the rough parts of NYC.
    11
  24. Let me guess in no particular order: NY, CA, NJ, MD, MA, CT, FL, RI, IL, CO
    11
  25. Guessing: Florida, California, Mississippi, Alabama, Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, and North Carolina. NJ, is a runner up
    11
  26. VT is nicer, but MN has more opportunities for jobs and is less expensive. VT has a huge amount of wealthy New Yorkers with second homes north of 500000-700000
    10
  27. Mogadishu
    10
  28. Guessing: Scenery, low property taxes, low housing costs, low crime, outdoor activities, water, weather is not the worst (fall is very nice, and the winters are not as cold as Minnesota), people are nice, not too far away from larger metro areas, Charleston, and quiet.

  29. As beautiful as Maine is, I would only live there if I was retired and had zero financial obligations. Coastal Maine is probably being overcrowded by Bostonians and the like, driving real estate through the roof along with those high taxes to boot. Inland Maine is probably less expensive overall. Check out Presque Isle or Rumford. Only been to Maine twice, but have spent enough time there on both visits to make that educated guess.

  30. I learned that the Grand Canyon was not in Colorado because of the Brady Bunch when it was on regular television.

  31. No nearby ocean, but there is the lake of the Ozarks. No huge mountains, but there is a huge swath of rolling hills and maybe a low mountain or two in Mark Twain National Forest. The northwestern portion has the flattest topography with maybe the southern most portion of the loess hills just north of Platte City. There are much worse states out there. However, I have heard from several verbal and written sources that it is a probably one of the safest places to be during a doomsday scenario, in the sense that it is relatively less densely populated. Winters are also less severe than compared to IOWA, NEBRASKA, MINNESOTA, and SOUTH DAKOTA. They have the Chiefs, Blues, and the Tigers which is good. Unlike AZ were I live, they have water 💦 or at least more than several SW states. Like TN, it borders 8 other states, the most in the US.

  32. Is Chicago going the way of Detroit, where the latter seems to be mildly improving?

  33. Phoenix is even more bland and you have hotter summers there with bad air quality too. Traffic is probably worse in Phoenix. Housing is less, but the jobs pay less. Homeless problem is probably worse in Phoenix. Learned over 30 years ago, if you looked east of Denver proper, then it looks like Kansas. People that have never left the east coast (which was where I lived over 30 years ago, thought that Denver was like Georgetown, Colorado with all that fresh mountain air), however when you travel out of Kansas along 70 and into Colorado it is all rolling fields and treeless plains, right up to the city limits. It was weird seeing mileage signs for Denver and you would be in the middle of nowhere, even up to about 40 miles. However, even those eastern towns along 70 in the plains, just shy of Aurora have grown tremendously and so have housing prices. However, there are many that do not realize until they actually take a brisk run, that those flat regions are still a mile above sea level, and if you are not used to it, then you will be heaving right away.

  34. It is really not that friendly, especially to outsiders. IMO not recommended Property taxes are high too.

  35. My guesses are anywhere that are remote and barron.

  36. Vaiden, MS had some very friendly people when I visited.

  37. Boise was nice when I visited in 2014, but it was definitely a city of haves and have nots. The place was loaded with low wage jobs amongst the ever increasing cost of real estate. Professional jobs were few and far between. Tucson is not so bad after all, lower real estate costs and much higher wages. There is also less of a dearth of professional careers. Chose the latter over the former when I left the freezing upper Midwest. VA shocked me, being number one.

  38. Maine has beautiful mountains and better skiing than AZ, especially the latter.
    8
  39. So basically when Mississippi is on a worst list, there are myriad of positive undertones that go with it. Same with scenic West Virginia. Guessing my state of AZ is going to be closer to the top, but NV is definitely going to be higher.

  40. When he said Salicylic Acid, I felt 10 times smarter at the time.

  41. SD would be more of a honorable mention than NE.

  42. I wasn’t, I live in Arizona, and I do not live in either, Scottsdale is more so though relative to Gilbert. Also Paradise Valley which borders Scottsdale is on a whole different level, look no further than Zillow.

  43. Great video!! The thing that confused me was where someone trying to leave an inexpensive state would migrate to? If one were to leave the NYC area on a 100 k a year, then a state like NC or AZ would be doable, cost of living wise. I am guessing one would move from the states that have a very low minimum wage, could go where the wages are higher. In my area of the US, ever other person has left CA or IL, but it would be interesting to know where people from the impoverished areas in the Deep South migrate to. WV is a beautiful state IMO and the interstate 64 that runs through it, is one of the most scenic interstate drives rivaling that of I-70 west of Denver, Colorado. It would be interesting to know where people from WV go too.

  44. Even Billy Joel moved out Hackensack, because who needs a house out in Hackensack, if that is all you get for your money. And that was back in the late 70s 😂 However I do remember the great food too.

  45. Every state was incorrect. Oh well.

  46. Sterling, CO, might as well be Nebraska.

  47. Wow Bethel!! Things have changed since 1986.

  48.  @c0t0d0s7  There are penguins 🐧 and Leopard Seals 🦭 in the waters too.

  49. I am surprised ID made the list, I seriously think SD is colder.

  50. Visiting Omaha for the holidays right now from Tucson, and I can actually walk around without being hit up for money from someone crawling out of the woodwork. Less stressful to get gas too in Omaha compared to Tucson. In spite of the aforementioned, I would take Tucson any day: the people are much friendlier.
