  1. Live in AZ too, and I would chose it over both FL and LA. There are many climates and topographical features here, and there are many people who think it is one big desert from corner to corner. Summers can be brutal in the desert regions, but summers in Florida (where I have visited numerous times) and Louisiana (where I travelled the entire state twice) can be brutal. In Florida, I would get horrendous headaches in the summer because of it.

  2. Vegas should be on a list for places in the USA where you are most likely to get a contact High.

  3. Boston is in Massachusetts šŸ˜‚

  4. Ā @thullraven1Ā  That area Sussex/Warren County is beautiful in the fall, used to hike the AT there, camp, tube, and canoe on the Delaware back in the late 80s. Great respite from the more crowded areas to the east. Jenny Jump was also a great place to camp, near Hope, NJ. There are bigger mountains where I live in the western US, but you cannot beat the greenery in the summer and the fall colors. When I used to work in Union County over 30 years ago, some of my coworkers would make long commutes from eastern PA along both 80 and 78, because real estate was about half the price back then relative to Union County. Iā€™m sure the prices and the traffic have all increased. Even back in 2002 when I was driving on 78 just east of Bloomsbury, on a visit, I noticed that the volume was much thicker than 10 years prior (mid 1991 ish) when I lived around there. Iā€™m sure it has gotten worse in 2023. Visited NYC in 2017, and it was kind of nice how 287 goes all the way from Edison NJ to Suffern, NY, avoiding the more congested areas. Back when I left in the early 90s it (287) ended somewhere in Morris County, not sure where.

  5. Surprised he pronounced that incorrectly since it is less than 2 hours away from his favorite PA town (Honesdale).

  6. Ā @NPC8087Ā  Dessert Island had a great beach. Yahaats sp? Oregon was a great one too.

  7. Pool could also equal HOA fee/fine in AZ

  8. Ā @phmiiiĀ  probably not a good place to be single either

  9. Henderson, Nebraska is probably even whiter. Visited both.

  10. Weston, MO, and Platte City, MO, IMO are the best places around KC. Check them out.
    3
  11. East Hartford, Bridgeport, New Haven are in the top 5. This is my guess before watching the video. Ok I was wrong, I did not see the town part.

  12. šŸ˜‚ I thought that was hysterical. (The pun)

  13. From personal experience, you will be in for a major culture shock. If you even remotely like Phoenix, then I would stay put or look at another city. Live near Tucson for 8 years now and I am not a huge fan of Phoenix, but I have lived for over a decade in or near the big O, and will keep flying over it. Ironically, before Omaha, I did live in the Phoenix area.

  14. Got only 3 on this one. How about this, it sucks being an employee everywhere.

  15. Guess Georgia was not on Willie Nelsonā€™s mind when he was looking for work.

  16. So that is why some people say Mizz ur ah for Missouri.

  17. Maybe St George, Utah?
    3
  18. Or Tucson

  19. Got five and I froze my arse outside of Tucson this afternoon at 8500 ft elevation.

  21. Love the ā€œGet it, Got it, Goodā€, supersedes the ā€œStop Typingā€ part from the days of yore.

  22. Figured out it was Winnemucca. It was not that bad compared to other rural areas I visited in other states. Ash Fork, AZ is sketchier.
    3
  23. Guessing: Houston, Detroit, Tucson, Cleveland, San Francisco, LV, LA, Chiraq, New Orleans, Birmingham.

  24. Rushmore used to be awesome back in 1995, when it was rustic and you could walk right in without a huge fee. Back then I pitched a tent on the other side of it. Those days are gone

  25. The first girl I dated was from a small town in Iowa, and she was extremely brilliant, and could have easily competed with those who graduated from elite schools. Back when I knew her 35 plus years ago, she told me there was nothing to do but read. Have not seen her since then, but she decided to remain in the same general area.

  26. Ed Rodz Skid Row? I prefer to listen to Metallica.

  27. Ā @valerief1231Ā  That would have been a cool video which would make Beavis and Butthead proud. Ah heh ah heh.

  28. Guessing: No or low income tax, warm weather, lower property taxes, relatively cheaper real estate, night life, gamblers paradise, what is left of Lake Mead, outdoor activities, 2 pro sports teams, and proximity to southern CA. All of them are a stretch
    3
  29. The city I live near, Tucson has a fair amount of crime. However, many of those declining Great Lakes cities have water, at least.

  30. Yay I got more than 5. Almost picked West Virginia over South Dakota. After watching the video, I realized that Nebraska would not make the top ten due to the high property taxes. That is a pretty nice house in Alabama, can I pick that up for 60 k šŸ˜‚?

  31. Guessing: Air pollution near mining, dearth of jobs, healthcare, weather, water contamination, isolated, would not appeal to those who have liberal democratic beliefs, education, lack of nightlife for the big city folks, and the prevalence of opioid addiction.

  32. Ā @Bmwguy2011Ā  Out of touch ones for sure.

  33. Let me guess the areas must have the following: proximity to a nuclear waste site, a former superfund site, a place that is extremely remote, an area that is extremely rundown where crime is the norm, and a venue with more than unfavorable weather.

  34. I visited AC, 4 too many times, and that was back in the late 80s. It was sketchy back then, and I heard not much has changed since.

  35. Coastal CA home prices are still going through the roof, while the places many west coast people are moving to, are going up as well, particularly in states like ID, UT, and CO. I seriously thought housing in CA would trend downward due to the greater out migration. Same with OR and WA

  36. Surprised Nebraska made the list, because the majority of the population lives near Omaha and Lincoln, where both have a fair amount of diversity, the former, more so. BTW Malcolm X was born and lived in Omaha.

  37. Try Willamantic (sp)

  38. Not Tucson Arizona

  39. I met someone from a rural area outside Buffalo, and they made everyone think that they were from NYC, and they tried to act all tough.
    3
  40. Guessing: Crime, lack of jobs, winter weather, bad roads, higher than average cost of living, poverty, traffic, high taxes, air quality, and not the best public transit. Last time I was there, was in the early 80s as a kid, and my guesses were from what I remembered.

  41. Ā @stevena3871Ā Like that Poverty with a view. Sounds like the Prescott area.
    3
  42. I would guess, Michigan, Maine, Wisconsin, Alaska, Hawaii, Florida, California, Maryland, Virginia, and Washington. In case the 2 Great Lakes do not count, then I would add Oregon and North Carolina.
    3
  43. Guessing, NYC, LA, Miami, Phoenix, Boston, Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, DC, and Chicago.

  44. IMO, Tucson, near where I live, has much more trash on the highways and streets than Phoenix. However, Tucson air quality is much better.

  45. Marquette University in Michigan is where Tommy in Tommy Boy went to college for 7 years to not be a doctor.

  46. Skimpy dress and a fall, not a bad combination. But again, luckily she did not get hurt.

  47. I live in AZ and I plan to pick up and examine the rocks, but it is like a 6 hour drive, so not too crazy about rushing

  48. Ā @VictoriaGatesĀ  Not too sure if my prediction is accurate, but I foresee Pueblo, CO undergoing a complete turnaround, due to the ever increasing housing costs from Denver to the CO Springs area. Also, it sits near I-25 about 45 miles south of CO Springs. The property taxes are low too. In fact, I am thinking about it myself. If you have ever been there, then you probably know, there are some very sketchy areas, but there is only one way the city can go. Also, in Albuquerque, where petroglyph National Monument sits, west of downtown, reminds me of a poor manā€™s metro Denver. Property taxes are low there too, and the crime is less rampant. Not sure about the former, regarding toxic people, but the latter seemed relatively friendly. Both Albuquerque and Pueblo get an extremely bad rap, but I see potential for both.

  49. There are still people who think Chicago is a state.

  50. Bar Harbor is awesome and so is Mt. Dessert Island. New Hope/Lambertville have great places to walk and beautiful architecture.
