  1. I have always found it weird that El Paso is actually exceptionally safe for its size and the safest major city in the U.S. based on crime rates but Juárez which is right next to it is one of the most dangerous cities in Mexico.
    1300
  2. I didn’t realize there were 14. I usually think of the territories as being Guam, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Northern Mariana Islands.
    545
  3. It was nice to see a positive video on California for a change
    536
  4. This is a scary fact: Alaska has the 2nd highest crime rate and highest violent crime rate in the U.S. despite being the least densely populated state!
    249
  5. Can you also do the top 10 worst states for 2020 or maybe rank all of them from worst to best again because some things change every year
    182
  6. Mississippi has the highest poverty rate of any state in the nation. Going into this list I was expecting to see Mississippi, New Mexico, Louisiana, Arkansas and West Virginia. I am surprised not to see Louisiana and Arkansas on this list. I was surprised to see South Dakota in this list let alone twice. I also wasn’t expecting to see Kentucky on this list more than once.
    157
  7. I recommend you move to Bend or Astoria or another town nicer than Portland. Portland is going downhill with riots and homeless problems like Seattle and San Francisco.
    108
  8. South Dakota is surrounded completely by good states... and it is a great state
    104
  9. The scariest part is it isn't just this country. The world as a whole is becoming scarier.
    85
  10. 4:28 I was raised by a single mom and I am neither in jail or rehab. However, I'm not poor and my grandparents helped raise me.
    77
  11. I personally wouldn’t want to live in New York City because it’s too crowded with traffic for me and very expensive but it’s also a great place to visit for these reasons.
    76
  12. There should honestly be a part 2 of this because there are so many great places to live in America.
    68
  13. Basically if a city or town is called Charleston, it's probably a nice place to live
    65
  14. 5:47 Don't forget about Saint Paul because although it's right next to Minneapolis it's also a big city. Also, Madison is a big city in Wisconsin unless you are actually referring to Madison, Minnesota which barely has more than 1,000 people. Rochester is a decent sized city in Minnesota as well with over 100,000 residents.
    64
  15. I have been to most of these places because I live in Massachusetts
    62
  16.  @PANZERFAUST90  great scenery and the best variety of scenery in the country from redwood and sequoia forests to deserts, coastline, mountains, and much more, very long and beautiful coastline with great beaches, good cities and towns (there are a lot of bad but some good), great tourist attractions, great national parks
    56
  17. I think the only two major downsides of South Carolina besides the fact that it has some heat and hurricanes are high crime and poverty in a lot of areas. Other than that South Carolina is a pretty good state with a low cost of living, great people, a good economy, nice scenery, great beaches and things to do.
    56
  18.  @PANZERFAUST90  yea but I meant because there were several negative California videos before and this is the first positive one and it's not all bad.
    53
  19. American flags are not offensive anyone who thinks they are is a fucking retard
    49
  20. I am guessing San Francisco and Los Angeles will be on this list
    47
  21. Fun fact: New Hampshire actually has the lowest poverty rate in the nation
    45
  22. Thank you I live in Massachusetts and always love seeing lists about New England 🙂
    39
  23.  @cookiemonster8877  I didn't hear about that but when a city has almost 700,000 residents it's naturally going to have some bad neighborhoods. However, El Paso is still extremely safe for its size overall.
    35
  24. The only country on this list that really surprised me was Monaco but I guess it makes sense. I saw Brunei and North Korea coming from a mile away.
    35
  25. I seriously might move to Texas. It seems like the best place to find a good job and an affordable home that's nice and in a nice neighborhood at the same time.
    33
  26. I like the idea of top 15 lists instead of top 10s
    31
  27. I believed you at first when you said the rest of the list was Mississippi 😂
    30
  28. My top 10: 10. Virginia 9. Wisconsin 8. Texas 7. Montana 6. Wyoming 5. Colorado 4. New Hampshire 3. Oregon 2. Idaho 1. Washington
    29
  29.  @PANZERFAUST90  They have the highest crime rate in the U.S. and very bad poverty and drug problems. They even have low-paying jobs that make it harder for people to be able to afford to move out.
    25
  30. Of all the ways the world can end, a nuclear World War III is what I'm most worried about right now. However, the world can end at any time from now to in billions of years so it's best to enjoy life and not worry too much about it.
    24
  31.  @PANZERFAUST90  That makes sense I would imagine traffic which goes with crowding, pollution and natural disasters would be part of that too. It was just a nice change to see a positive video about California although I agree it's not one of the best states. It also depends on what part of the state you're in as it's one of the largest and most diverse states. People usually think of the large cities along the coast when they think of California, but not all of California is like that. It does certainly have a lot of problems but a lot of it is due to its size and it's not a terrible state overall. At least it's not New Mexico.
    23
  32. I immediately liked when I saw South Dakota
    23
  33. The interesting thing is that they call Town and Country Lynnwood but there is already a Lynnwood, Washington in the western part of the state. I would think that would get confusing.
    23
  34. 7:20 Hartford is in Connecticut. Worcester and Springfield are the closest to being a major city in Massachusetts outside of Boston and I know because I live here. Edit: Okay, nevermind lol
    22
  35. I’m not a retiree or a remote worker, but I still find this series very enjoyable. I wouldn’t mind living in some of these places. Even if it means settling for a lower paying job it’s likely worth it for a lot of places on these lists.
    22
  36. I agree with most of these except for Green Bay. I would put Boise as #1 though, because it really is ideal in every way. I would give Savannah at least an honorable mention, mainly because it's so beautiful and peaceful. Many Texas cities could be given honorable mentions or even be on this list including Dallas, Fort Worth, San Antonio and El Paso, but they aren't completely ideal and have more problems than some of the cities on this list, so I understand why you didn't include them. I would also include Raleigh, North Carolina because it's an all-around great place to live.
    22
  37. Before watching I am guessing Los Angeles, New York City, Chicago, San Francisco, Boston, Seattle, Portland, Houston, Baltimore and Washington DC will be on this list in no particular order
    21
  38. ​ @starrwilliams0127  I will name 20 more: 1. Most of Minnesota 2. Iowa 3. Nebraska 4. Most of Washington State 5. Most of Colorado 6. Most of Virginia 7. Most of North Carolina 8. Utah 9. Fort Wayne, Indiana 10. Sioux Falls, South Dakota 11. Fayetteville-Rogers-Springdale area, Arkansas 12. Texas as a whole (not just the Dallas area) 13. Most of Georgia 14. Western Wyoming and Montana 15. Sarasota, Florida 16. Henderson, Nevada 17. Columbus, Ohio 18. Much of Upstate New York 19. Carmel, Indiana 20. Tupelo, Mississippi
    21
  39. I just subscribed to On This Day. Also, in my opinion cost of living should be a stat on this list. Also maybe weather.
    20
  40. I strongly agree with Acadia National Park. I have been there and it's a very beautiful place with some things to do to like the beaches and Thunder Hole
    19
  41. I think the main reason Iowa is so cheap is because it’s a fly over state known for being boring and is therefore often overlooked. However, other than boredom, it’s a really great state.
    17
  42. Not necessarily a prediction for this video but my opinion in alphabetical order: California Colorado Connecticut Illinois Louisiana Minnesota New York Oregon Tennessee Washington
    16
  43. I am guessing these cities will be mentioned on the list: Atlanta, Georgia Austin, Texas Boise, Idaho Charleston, South Carolina Charlotte, North Carolina Dallas, Texas Denver, Colorado Phoenix, Arizona Salt Lake City, Utah Tampa, Florida
    16
  44. Boston better be on this list! Happy 4th of July!
    15
  45. I loved my trip to Northern California this past November. However, while California is an amazing place to visit and these are certainly some of the nicer towns in California, I still don't think any of these towns would be worth living in unless you really have a lot of money.
    15
  46. I find it interesting that Vermont is overwhelmingly white and rural yet it’s the most liberal state in the country. This is largely because of the large college population though and because it’s in New England.
    14
  47. I bet Massachusetts, New York and New Jersey are on this list!
    13
  48. I think some of the states on this list lie about their statistics
    13
  49. Top 5: 1. California 2. Oregon 3. Washington 4. Arizona 5. Nevada
    13
  50. I already have an idea of what some of these will be, but I will take my best educated guess without cheating: 1. New York City 2. Los Angeles 3. Chicago 4. Houston 5. Phoenix 6. San Francisco 7. San Diego 8. Jacksonville 9. Washington DC 10. Philadelphia
    13
  51. Let me guess the most expensive states? Not worth it unless you're already wealthy
    13
  52. Yeah even the “bad” parts of New Hampshire like Manchester and Rochester would be considered great places to live if they were in a handful of other states.
    12
  53. I live in Massachusetts which is in the middle of all of the New England states and I am very happy to see this list 🙂
    12
  54. ​   I disagree and not all Southern states are filled with poverty. Texas is a great state. Virginia is great too. Arizona is a border state and isn't bad. The Carolinas (Especially North Carolina), Georgia and Tennessee definitely aren't the best states but they certainly aren't the worst either.
    12
  55. Carver, Small towns in Northern and Central New Hampshire, a few small towns in Maine, Rhode Island and maybe Connecticut, that's about it
    12
  56. Interesting fact: Bentonville is where the Walmart headquarters are
    12
  57. Way better
    12
  58. I am only 18 and I have actually been to New Brunswick. One time I went on about a two week vacation in Maine and New Brunswick with my grandparents and cousin. When in New Brunswick, we stayed at a very beautiful hotel that looked like a castle in Saint Andrews.
    11
  59. I will name 5 good examples for each: Liberal: Vermont, Hawaii, California, Maryland, Massachusetts Conservative: Wyoming, Oklahoma, West Virginia, Idaho, North Dakota Divided: Georgia, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Texas Moderate: New Hampshire, Iowa, Arizona, Nevada, Virginia
    11
  60. Interesting video. Before watching, I am guessing the top 5 are Texas, Idaho, Colorado, Arizona and Washington.
    11
  61. I am surprised that you're not a big fan of Texas because you talk positively about it a lot, and you said the only reason you wouldn't move there was because of the heat
    11
  62.  @user-sv3tx9gm6u  All of that happened in Minneapolis. The rest of the state is great except for a few places but there are bad places in every state.
    10
  63. That's because it's a very red state with a very low cost of living. Of course it only has a very low cost of living because it's a shitty state.
    10
  64. 10 more countries I think should be on this list and why: 1. Russia (for obvious reasons) 2. South Africa mainly because of crime 3. Egypt because of crime and terrorism and also the heat 4. India because of overcrowding and pollution. Also because it’s dirty. 5. Israel due to politics and crime and terrorist attacks from neighboring countries 6. Jordan also due to politics as well as crime and terrorism 7. Sri Lanka due to political conflicts 8. Bahamas due to crime 9. Jamaica due to crime 10. Ecuador also due to crime
    10
  65.    Arizona borders Mexico I thought that's what you meant. I don't know what else would be called a border state. The fact that you say New Mexico might as well be a red state just shows your liberal bias. Also, you only factored in economy and nothing else. There are many factors to what makes a good state and a bad state. Nebraska is a red state and is one of the best for education and has a decent economy and low cost of living. Iowa has a very low cost of living and still manages to have a good economy and is good for education. South Dakota, Montana and Wyoming are doing pretty good too. Also remember Connecticut is a blue state and has places like Hartford and New Britain, Michigan is a blue state and has Detroit and Flint, and Maryland is a blue state and has Baltimore. Also New Jersey has Camden and Paterson, two of the worst cities in the country. Delaware is a mess as a whole. California is also a mess with VERY high cost of living, earthquakes, wildfires, a lot of smog, high crime and high poverty areas (Oakland, Compton, San Bernadino and so many others.) It is a very large state though and also has tons of beautiful natural scenery and has the best variety of it in the country.
    10
  66. I can except several North and West African counties will be in this list such as Mali and Sierra Leone. I am guessing a lot of Asian countries will be on this list as well such as Myanmar and Papua New Guinea.
    10
  67. Some of these honestly surprised me. I wasn't expecting New Hampshire, Montana or Nebraska. I wasn't expecting Idaho either but it's not that surprising.
    10
  68. I love West Virginia. ❤ from Massachusetts
    9
  69.  @houstontexas8738  I have visited there and enjoyed it
    9
  70. I live in Massachusetts and Maine is near the top of my list for states to move to.
    9
  71. Guess before watching: 10. Oregon 9. New Jersey 8. New York 7. Utah 6. Colorado 5. Washington 4. Connecticut 3. Massachusetts 2. California 1. Hawaii
    9
  72. Honestly every state has both pretty and ugly areas but Mississippi does have the worst poverty rate in the country which is not good. Louisiana is worse tho. Texas is in the top 5 best states in the country tho and Virginia, North Carolina and Georgia are certainly in the top 20. South Carolina and Tennessee are kind of middle of the road imo. Kentucky, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Arkansas are not great states tho. Missouri and West Virginia are bad too but I’m not sure if they would be considered the South.
    9
  73. "It doesn't matter who the governor is" 😂
    9
  74. Don’t cross it off your list
    9
  75. Red Beach looks a lot more like a cranberry bog than a beach
    8
  76. Guess before watching: 15. Tennessee 14. Maine 13. Hawaii 12. Idaho 11. Utah 10. South Carolina 9. Virginia 8. North Carolina 7. Vermont 6. Colorado 5. Arizona 4. Nevada 3. New Hampshire 2. Texas 1. Florida
    8
  77.  Awesome Randomguy  Probably not in Ciudad Juarez but it depends on what part of Mexico you're in. I think most of the large cities are bad but most of the smaller cities and towns are nice.
    8
  78. My guesses for this list using some of my own research: Marion, Alabama Selma, Alabama Helena-West Helena, Arkansas Ozark, Arkansas Homer, Louisiana Washington, Louisiana Clarksdale, Mississippi Hazlehurst, Mississippi McComb, Mississippi St. Stephen, South Carolina
    8
  79. My guess before watching the video: 10. Delaware 9. Maryland 8. Florida 7. Connecticut 6. Rhode Island 5. New Jersey 4. New York 3. Massachusetts 2. Hawaii 1. California
    8
  80.  @bojingle3100  There are worse states in America. California has a lot of problems but still some positives and it was nice to see a video on the positives. Alaska, New Mexico, Louisiana, Mississippi, Delaware and New Jersey are worse states.
    7
  81. Interestingly one of the places on this list (Massachusetts) is a place I am looking to move out of. This list does still give me some options of places I would rather live in. Thank you.
    7
  82. Probably because it’s a city not a town same with Pueblo
    7
  83. Speaking of nice places in Portland, I visited Lewis and Clark University last fall. I was expecting it to be more populated and urban, and I was pleasantly surprised at how peaceful and quiet it was. It's a small college in a very nice peaceful neighborhood with beautiful scenery and surrounded by nature and I really enjoyed my time there.
    7
  84. I love how while you included all the major tourist destinations in Western Europe everyone wants to visit, you also included some underrated places as well. Great list!
    7
  85.  @user-sv3tx9gm6u  Minnesota has a great quality of life. The only downside is the extreme cold.
    7
  86. Guess before watching: 10. Alabama 9. Arkansas 8. Alaska 7. New York 6. New Jersey 5. California 4. West Virginia 3. Mississippi 2. New Mexico 1. Louisiana
    7
  87. Except for California and New York
    7
  88. I did like how you mentioned Apache Junction. I mean it’s a nice small city that has some beautiful scenery lol.
    7
  89. Central Falls is the worst place in Rhode Island
    7
  90.  @josueleyva413  Exactly
    7
  91. Guess before watching: Australia New Zealand Iceland Norway Sweden Finland Denmark Singapore Canada (Yes, overlap but it is a great country in a lot of ways) Japan (Again overlap but a really great country) Honorable Mentions: South Korea Portugal Greece Chile Uruguay
    7
  92. I am surprised Saint Louis, New Orleans, Milwaukee and Memphis aren’t on this list. 10 cities I feel like could have made this list are Saint Louis, New Orleans, Milwaukee, Memphis, Chicago, New York City, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Oakland, and Los Angeles.
    7
  93. 1:17 Also the heat and humidity gets VERY bad
    7
  94. Thank you I love Washington but can't afford a lot of places there
    6
  95. Out of these, I would most consider Missouri, Indiana, Iowa and Kansas.
    6
  96. Worst Cities in Mexico: Tijuana
    6
  97. That's not the north. Geographically yes, culturally no. That's the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Midwest.
    6
  98. Guess before watching: 10. Pennsylvania 9. Michigan 8. Alaska 7. New Jersey 6. Connecticut 5. Ohio 4. Illinois 3. California 2. New York 1. West Virginia
    6
  99. Thank you! I am from Massachusetts and New Hampshire is one of my favorite states. I am highly considering moving there.
    6
  100. I am disappointed to see Springfield, Ohio on this list I have family there and my grandfather grew up there.
    6
  101. Vancouver is beautiful and is close to Washington State so it's a win win if you can afford it and want to live in Canada
    6
  102. I bet my state will be the most liberal Edit: I thought it was going to be a ranking but it's definitely close. I am a moderate than leans conservative so I would rather live somewhere like Idaho or at least somewhere less liberal like Washington. I live in Massachusetts.
    6
  103. 1:46 Central Falls IS the worst place in Rhode Island. It’s pretty much like Pawtucket except that it’s only about 1 square mile and because of that it has no good parts.
    6
  104. ​@Sal Spencer Okay so being a red state automatically makes a state bad? Lol compare the qualify of life in South Carolina or just about any other red state to New Mexico. Compare the house prices and taxes in South Carolina or any other state to Massachusetts, California and Hawaii. You are terribly biased to the left.
    6
  105. My top 10 that aren’t on this list: 10. Milwaukee, Wisconsin 9. Baltimore, Maryland 8. Oakland, California 7. Shreveport, Louisiana 6. Jackson, Mississippi 5. Bessemer, Alabama 4. East Cleveland, Ohio 3. Rockford, Illinois 2. Camden, New Jersey 1. Gary, Indiana
    6
  106.  @user-sv3tx9gm6u  I wouldn't go that far. They have a lot of great places to live at least if you make a lot of money. If you don't make a lot of money there are better places to live. Overall, Washington is a great state though and Oregon and California have a lot of bad but have a lot of good too. Basically, Oregon is better than California but Washington is better than Oregon.
    6
  107. 10 cities I find to be very depressing: Bridgeport, Connecticut Camden, New Jersey Detroit, Michigan East Saint Louis, Illinois Flint, Michigan Gary, Indiana Jackson, Mississippi Memphis, Tennessee Portland, Oregon Toledo, Ohio
    6
  108.  Awesome Randomguy  Not all of Mexico is like that tho
    6
  109. Guess before watching: 10. Mexico City 9. Cancún 8. Mexicali 7. Matamoros 6. Guadalajara 5. Chihuahua 4. León 3. Hermosillo 2. Ciudad Juárez 1. Tijuana I don’t know Mexico that well tho but I’m pretty sure I’m right about the #1 spot.
    6
  110. Not all states in the South. Texas is great, Virginia, North Carolina and Georgia are great too. South Carolina and Tennessee have some crime and bad areas but aren't so bad overall. The rest of the Southern states aren't great overall but they still have a lot of very nice and friendly people and nice scenery. Even Mississippi, Arkansas, etc. aren't all bad.
    6
  111. I was expecting to see Boston and Honolulu on this list
    6
  112. Detroit has been terrible for decades. It's slowly getting better but it's still awful.
    6
  113.  @bojingle3100  Positive things about California: Natural scenery, National parks, weather, things to do, great beaches, great colleges and universities, very large economy. There are way better states but there are good things about California too. Did you even watch the video?
    5
  114.  @pauly0410  I disagree but ok. I agree that East Saint Louis is one of the top 10 if not top 5 worst cities in the country but Chicago is a great city and some of its suburbs are nice especially Winnetka where the Home Alone house is which is one of the wealthiest towns in the country.
    5
  115. Thank you I love your videos
    5
  116. There aren’t any unless you’re a politician or relative of a politician and live in the White House. The weather is good and the cherry blossoms are nice in the spring but that doesn’t make up for how much of a shithole DC is.
    5
  117. Thank you I was thinking the same thing
    5
  118. Out of these I would live in Wyoming
    5
  119. Oklahoma actually isn't a bad state
    5
  120. What about Nebraska, Iowa and South Dakota?
    5
  121.  @BluegillGreg  Bridgeport is a shithole tho
    5
  122. Green Bay is going downhill I think. I think Atlanta and Boise are getting better.
    5
  123. This is my city and I am proud of it. It's easily one of the top 5 best major cities in the country if not #1. Okay, technically I don't live in Boston itself but in a close suburb of it and it's a great city.
    5
  124.  @kennyt8730  True they go to places that have the reputation of being sanctuary cities or otherwise very liberal and culturally diverse like New York City, Baltimore and Detroit
    5
  125.  @j0rgesin  I know what you mean. It's still very dangerous by Mexico standards but it has gotten better. It would probably be considered safe if it was in a lot of other countries like Syria or Venezuela.
    5
  126.  @manueltapia1859  People always bring this up. This was one very bad incident, but things like that rarely happen in El Paso. It's very safe for its size despite that one incident.
    5
  127. Wise is a wise choice for a town to live in
    5
  128. Probably: 10. San Francisco 9. Los Angeles 8. Cleveland 7. Atlanta 6. Jackson 5. Fresno 4. Memphis 3. Baltimore 2. Saint Louis 1. Detroit
    5
  129. You have good taste in youtube channels then

  132. I live in a suburb of Boston so I have spent a lot of time in Boston and I have also been to Seattle many times because I have family on the other side of Puget Sound from there. I have been to New York City as well and I agree that Boston, Seattle and New York City are all great and very walkable cities.
    5
  133. 6:58 Tilton is 20 minutes north of Concord. Plymouth is about 40 minutes north of Concord.
    5
  134. Interesting video thank you for sharing!
    5
  135. I disagree with much of the list though. This list is obviously biased to the left. Here is my unbiased (or at least relatively unbiased) top 10 worst states with 5 red states and 5 blue states while mentioning some positives as well: 10. Alabama- Low quality of education and healthcare, high crime and poverty, lots of great, friendly people and tons of history 9. Illinois- High crime, one of the worst states for tax burden, ranks 50th in fiscal stability, Chicago isn't all bad though and is still a great city to visit. There's a lot of agriculture, and a lot of nice Chicago suburbs if you can afford to live there. 8. Alaska- Worst state for violent crime, few good jobs, very cold and isolated, considered the most tax friendly state in the country with no sales or income tax. Very possibly the most beautiful state in the country with tons of great scenery and wildlife. 7. West Virginia- High poverty, worst state for infrastructure, low level of education, has a lot of great, friendly people and tons of beautiful scenery, rural and laid back 6. New Jersey- One of the most expensive states to live in with very high taxes, very polluted, ranks 2nd in education, 5th highest per capita income 5. New York- 3rd highest median home value, worst state for tax burden, 2nd highest homeless population, lots of things to do not just in New York City but throughout the state, ranks 7th in healthcare 4. California- 2nd highest median home value, highest homeless population, high crime, worst state for pollution, has the best variety of scenery in the country and has 9 great and diverse national parks. Also has the highest GDP in the country. 3. Mississippi- Highest poverty rate in the U.S., ranks 50th in healthcare and 49th in economy. Has some of the most friendly people in the country, and has the lowest median home value of any state. 2. New Mexico- Highest crime rate in the nation, 3rd highest poverty rate, ranks 50th in education, has a lot of breathtaking scenery and things to do including the Carlsbad Caverns and White Sands National Park. 1. Louisiana- 2nd highest poverty rate in the nation, 2nd highest homicide rate in the nation, ranks 48th in education and 47th in economy, has a lot of amazing wildlife including alligators and pelicans and a lot of great food
    5
  136. Oklahoma is part of the Great Plains which includes Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota and North Dakota. Iowa, Missouri and Texas are sometimes considered part of this region as well.
    5
  137. I am from Massachusetts and I agree it doesn't deserve a spot on this list. Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, and Virginia are all far better states that deserve a spot on this list. Maybe not Virginia as much as the others I mentioned but still I would rate it #10. New Hampshire is the best state in New England, followed by Maine and Vermont. Rhode Island is okay with a lot of nice scenery, but it does have some bad areas which seem too close to the good areas because it's so small. Connecticut is worse than Massachusetts though because it has places like Hartford, New Britain, Bridgeport, New Haven, New London and many others that overshadow the few nice wealthy towns it has.

  138. @Laureen Mwangi That's not true for any independent... also I am registered as unenrolled which is basically independent (I am an independent) and I can vote for any party I want.
    4
  139. I have a love-hate relationship with both New York City and San Francisco. Both cities have a lot of great things to see and do but both have a lot of problems. Same with Seattle and New Orleans but to a lesser extent. Nashville and Orlando have some problems too but it’s mostly concentrated within a few neighborhoods.
    4
  140. Yes very. I think it's a great place to visit but I wouldn't want to live there even if I could afford it. I would much rather live somewhere like Colorado or Washington if I had a lot of money or even somewhere less expensive that's nice like North Carolina or rural Indiana.
    4
  141. There are a lor of things people myself included think of when they think of Texas. Here are 5 of the first things I think of: 1. It’s big and everything in Texas is big 2. Low cost of living and low taxes 3. Fast-growing population especially people moving from California 4. Great food, particularly Mexican food/TexMex and barbecue 5. Lots of proud gun owners and it’s a very pro-gun state
    4
  142. I am guessing in no particular order: Carmel, San Diego, Irvine, Thousand Oaks, Malibu, San José, Monterey, Piedmont, Imperial and the Lake Tahoe area. I still wouldn’t live there though. It’s way too expensive.
    4
  143. Good idea. Carver, Massachusetts is a good one.
    4
  144. I mean it's not surprising considering there are only 6 New England States and there are 10 spots on this list.
    4
  145. @Nebula Vortex Windham New Hampshire is a great town. I just wouldn't quite consider it charming enough to be in the top 10 but it definitely deserves to be AT LEAST in top 50 and probably even in the top 25 if not top 20.
    4
  146. Thank you for doing these lists
    4
  147. My top 10 for this list: 10. United States of America 9. Panama 8. Sri Lanka 7. Ecuador 6. Ethiopia 5. Myanmar 4. Ukraine 3. China 2. Russia 1. Afghanistan
    4
  148.  @catherinebaum3510  Wrong, there are plenty of politicians on both sides that don't care about the quality of life of their people not just Republicans, and New Mexico is a blue state by the way. This list is biased to the left, but you are way more biased. Do you really think Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, AOC, Cori Bush, etc. genuinely give a f**k about American citizens?
    4
  149. @Rome B It isn’t that bad compared to a lot of countries and I’m not just talking about my personal opinion. I am listing reasons a lot of people would regret moving to a place not just me personally.
    4
  150. I was surprised you didn't include California and Nevada in the Southwest. Otherwise, this is a great list and of course Texas makes up about half of this list because it's such a great state.
    4
  151.  @aaronmiller6118  Wyoming is a great state. It's not for everyone because it's very rural and spread out but if you don't mind that and you like having a lot of beautiful natural scenery nearby and like the peace and quiet then Wyoming is probably the state for you
    4
  152. I wish every town was like this
    4
  153. First meaning what
    4
  154. I am guessing West Virginia will be on this list a lot
    4
  155. Atlanta is a great city. I personally prefer Savannah simply because it’s more beautiful and charming but Atlanta is great too!
    4
  156. I do a lot of research on U.S. politics so I think I can get most of these before watching: * Nebraska's 3rd Congressional District- more conservative than any U.S. state 1. Wyoming 2. West Virginia 3. Oklahoma 4. Kentucky 5. North Dakota 6. South Dakota 7. Idaho 8. Alabama 9. Arkansas 10. Tennessee
    4
  157. I think we all knew what #1 is before we even watched this video. I know I did.
    4
  158. My guess: 1. Iowa 2. Nebraska 3. South Dakota 4. Oklahoma 5. Colorado 6. Utah 7. North Dakota 8. Kansas 9. Wyoming 10. Montana
    4
  159. Let’s Go Brandon!
    4
  160.  @melonseeds3473  Very high cost of living, highest unemployment rate in the country, very bad infrastructure, bad traffic, rude and unfriendly people, bad and rude drivers, a lot of bad and ugly cities and towns like Lawrence, Clinton, Fall River, Springfield, Holyoke and Winchendon just to name a few.
    4
  161.  @colliecoform4854  I think most of the statistics twist the truth around to support the liberal agenda
    4
  162. Guess before watching: 10. Colorado 9. Wisconsin 8. Minnesota 7. Nebraska 6. Washington 5. Idaho 4. Texas 3. New Hampshire 2. Utah 1. North Carolina
    4
  163. I remember that from Road to the North Pole lol. Hartford’s motto is “At least we aren’t Bridgeport”.
    4
  164. I live in Massachusetts and I am a moderate that leans conservative and I am not wealthy or very religious so I just proved you wrong
    4
  165. Are you doing this for every state?
    4
  166. @JNN Fax Dallas is a very big city but I was just guessing the top 10. If I were guessing the top 20, I would have definitely guessed Dallas as well as Austin and San Antonio.
    4
  167. I was originally hoping you would do this after Oregon, but I am happy you finally posted this
    4
  168. @Duncan Farmer Not true. New Hampshire is considered one of the best states for education. There are some towns with bad schools just like there are in every state.
    4
  169. That's because they support overly high taxes, taking money away from hard workers to give it to lazy people who don't work, and a high cost of living.
    4
  170. I live there sadly it's true. I want to move somewhere else like Washington.
    4
  171.  @hnc18  You shouldn't live in Mississippi then
    4
  172. Connecticut is a dump
    4
  173.  @JB-kx9bx  That's a good point about Alaska having so much darkness in the winter (and the fall)
    4
  174. 3:01 I also recommend Regina's Pizzeria in the North End. I usually go to the one in Medford because it's closer and more convenient for me and that location is great too. Of course, I have also been to the one in the North End which is the original location and it's amazing. The North End and East Boston in general are historically the Italian centers of Boston and they have great Italian food as a result which is personally my favorite type of food. For Italian food, I also love Floramo's in Chelsea and Polcari's in Saugus and Woburn which is actually owned by the same people that own Regina's Pizzeria. I would also recommend Salvatore's and Bocelli's which are both in Medford if you have the chance. Also, the Mac and Cheese place in Quincy Market has probably the best Mac and Cheese I have ever had.
    4
  175. 4:27 That’s interesting the city I live in is called Malden so I am happy to see that on this list. I live in Malden, Massachusetts though.
    4
  176. 6:04 Did you just say Boston?
    3
  177. I like that idea especiallly highways like Routes 5, 90, 95, 10, 40 and 80 would be very interesting just to name a few
    3
  178.  @MrKevinEaddy  I am a moderate that leans conservative
    3
  179. I am guessing Flint, Detroit and Muskegon Heights will be on this list
    3
  180. Final guess before watching: 10. Minnesota 9. Hawaii 8. Illinois 7. Maryland 6. Oregon 5. Washington 4. New York 3. Massachusetts 2. Vermont 1. California
    3
  181. Guess before watching: 10. New York 9. Florida 8. Texas 7. Illinois 6. Alaska 5. Arkansas 4. Louisiana 3. Nevada 2. New Mexico 1. California
    3
  182. My main concern about Mexico is the weather because I don't like the heat. Are there any parts of Mexico that don't get terrible heat?
    3
  183. Guess before watching: 10. Seattle 9. Los Angeles 8. Chicago 7. Milwaukee 6. Cleveland 5. Washington D.C. 4. Minneapolis 3. Baltimore 2. Boston 1. New York City
    3
  184. I can’t tell if you’re being serious or sarcastic 😂
    3
  185.  @mainecoon6514  Yeah they want to tax us for not wearing a mask
    3
  186. Also Saint Louis, Missouri and Baltimore
    3
  187. I see comments like this a lot those places aren't included because they are cities not towns, and this list only includes towns. If cities were included on this list, I would include Hartford, Bridgeport, New Britain, New Haven, Waterbury and New London.
    3
  188. I have family in New Hampshire as well. My dad and all but 1 of my siblings live in Northern New Hampshire.
    3
  189.  @jonw1235  Cry about it all you want, but you can't stop me from moving there
    3
  190. Hawaii surprised me I also would have thought Oklahoma and some Southern states like Alabama would make this list for sure
    3
  191. Guess before watching: 10. Carmel, Indiana 9. Irvine, California 8. Boise, Idaho 7. Thousand Oaks, California 6. Glendale, California 5. Henderson, Nevada 4. Plano, Texas 3. Peachtree City, Georgia 2. Tupelo, Mississippi 1. Rye, New York
    3
  192. @Sal Spencer Okay so one bad person being from Texas automatically makes it a bad state? Texas has great cities, great towns, a great economy, great people, a low cost of living and great food just to name a few.
    3
  193. Before watching here is my top 10: 10. West Virginia 9. Arkansas 8. New Jersey 7. New York 6. Illinois 5. Alaska 4. Mississippi 3. New Mexico 2. Louisiana 1. California
    3
  194. I agree. For example, Marjorie Taylor Greene's district and Atlanta are politically polar opposites of each other despite being in the same state. There are plently more examples of this so it would make more sense to separate it by congressional district. However, I really hope that we can stay the United States of America and the country doesn't separate into 2 or more countries in the first place.
    3
  195. Before watching, I am 90% sure New Hampshire will be on this list
    3
  196. Yes I have seen it from Route 95. I live in Massachusetts so I have been in Rhode Island many times.
    3
  197. Guess before watching: *Bonus- Washington DC 1. Vermont 2. Massachusetts 3. Maryland 4. California 5. Hawaii 6. New York 7. Washington 8. Illinois 9. Connecticut 10. Rhode Island
    3
  198. Interestingly according to sources online while Concord, Massachusetts is pronounced “Conquered”, Concord, New Hampshire and Vermont is pronounced “Con-CORD”. Have I been pronouncing it wrong this whole time?
    3
  199. Thank you for this list it was helpful. I would probably choose Indiana, Missouri, Kansas or Oklahoma out of this list. I would consider Georgia but the only problem is the heat. There are towns in Alabama and Mississippi I would live in if the heat wasn’t a problem but I wouldn’t live there for that reason. Other places that are affordable that probably almost made this list that I would highly consider are Texas, Nebraska, Iowa and the Dakotas. All of these states have a good overall quality of life with a low cost of living. Tennessee and Arkansas just don’t seem to have a lot of cheap places that are nice in my opinion. At least they’re hard to find. Same with New Mexico which in my opinion is probably the worst state in the entire country. It has the worst crime rate and 2nd highest poverty rate of any state.
    3
  200. I otherwise would have thought you meant as food so thank you for clarifying
    3
  201.  @copperdan1275  He said it in the opposite order just so you know
    3
  202. Great list but you can't mention Essex without mentioning Old Saybrook. This is my top 12. It's top 12 so I can include 2 in each state: 12. Killington, Vermont 11. Essex, Connecticut 10. Portsmouth, New Hampshire 9. Hanover, New Hampshire 8. Rockport, Massachusetts 7. Lexington, Massachusetts 6. Stowe, Vermont 5. Bristol, Rhode Island 4. Old Saybrook, Connecticut 3. Bar Harbor, Maine 2. Camden, Maine 1. Little Compton, Rhode Island
    3
  203. I hope both of you are having a good day
    3
  204. Thank you for doing this again! I loved the last video and am excited to watch the new update!
    3
  205.  @DeWin157  If you think Iowa is the "worst state in the world" try living in, visiting or even researching New Mexico, California, Alaska, Hawaii, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, West Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Mexico, Central America, The Caribbean, Colombia, Venezuela, Brazil, Africa, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, India, China, Vietnam, North Korea and Russia and let me know if you still think Iowa is the worst place in the world. By the way, I don't live in Iowa. I live in Massachusetts and it sucks. I would much rather live in Iowa.
    3
  206.  @DeWin157  True only Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, Burlington and Dubuque are liberal the rest of the state is conservative
    3
  207.  Nun of the Above  No state does in my opinion because no state is perfect and I think of paradise as being perfect or almost perfect. However, Washington, Idaho, Colorado, Utah, Virginia and North Carolina are some that come relatively close. Also Maine, New Hampshire and Georgia.
    3
  208. Guess before watching: 10. South Dakota 9. Louisiana 8. Mississippi 7. Missouri 6. Kentucky 5. Nebraska 4. Kansas 3. Oklahoma 2. Florida 1. Texas
    3
  209. 10. Winnetka, Illinois 9. Decorah, Iowa 8. Yellow Springs, Ohio 7. Ashtabula, Ohio 6. Lake Geneva, Wisconsin 5. Grand Marais, Minnesota 4. International Falls, Minnesota 3. Michigan City, Indiana 2. Dune Acres, Indiana 1. Grand Haven, Michigan Note: I think of the Great Plains (The Dakotas, Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma) as their own region so that's why they're not on the list. Also I left Missouri out for two reasons: 1. It's debatable whether it's in the Midwest, Great Plains or the South. 2. There are plenty of very nice towns in the other states and Missouri doesn't have that many of them so Missouri doesn't really need to be on this list.
    3
  210.  @AuntieNay  Of course Kansas City is very bad too but I believe that. It's a lot better than Arkansas and even they have nice places there. Really every state has nice parts and bad parts (and average parts) but some just have more good and less bad then others
    3
  211. Most woke states are probably: 1. California 2. Massachusetts 3. New York 4. Vermont 5. Washington 6. Oregon 7. Maryland 8. Connecticut 9. Illinois 10. Hawaii
    3
  212. No thank you. I don’t want to live in a van lol
    3
  213. I am a conservative and I love your channel. I still consider myself to be an independent though and registered as "un-enrolled" because I don't like most of the democrats or the republicans.
    3
  214.  @lightingthedarkremoteviewi8086  Wrong Oklahoma is quite underrated in my opinion. It's a good state that people seem to hate on for no reason.
    3
  215. I didn’t think New Hampshire would be #1. I also didn’t think Alaska would be on this list. I’m not surprised about my state being #2 though but I did think California and Hawaii would be in the top 3. Otherwise I guessed pretty closely on this list
    3
  216. I thought it would be too
    3
  217.  @feliciasampson8032  It's interesting you mention Port Orchard because I have family in Washington and that's exactly where they live.
    3
  218.  @J10-f4s  It's a little bit late for fall foliage but you can probably still see some in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut. I would definitely still look for some. Go to Salem, Mass around Halloween although it wjll be very crowded. Russell Orchards and Kimball Farm are great places to visit in the fall. Acadia National Park in Maine is very beautiful. State parks and reservations are great for hiking such as Maudslay State Park and the Middlesex Fells Reservation. I reccomend going along the coast in any of the 5 New England states that have a coastline although Lake Champlain in Vermont is beautiful as well. Our Mountain ranges are very beautiful and are all part of the Appalachian range. The White Mountains in New Hampshire, Green Mountains in Vermont and the Berkshires in Massachusetts are all great. We have a lot of beautiful small towns as well like Stowe, Vermont and Mystic, Connecticut. I hope this helps.
    3
  219.  @Unoriginalswine  I am just saying those are probably the worst but Newark, Jersey City, Trenton and Atlantic City are bad too. I think most of the rest of the state isn't as bad but it's still not somewhere I would want to live. I am pretty sure Cherry Hill, East Orange, Toms River, etc. are standard dirty towns. I'm not an expert on New Jersey although I have been there. I am just basing it on what I know and I also do a lot of research. There are way too many tolls and it's dirty even on the highways. I will give it credit for having the 2nd best education system in the country though so that's something.
    3
  220.  Awesome Randomguy  Above average crime rate? Sure if you compare it to U.S. cities and towns of all sizes, but it has the lowest crime rate out of any U.S. city over 500,000.
    3
  221. My guesses for this list in no particular order: Barstow, California Gallup, New Mexico Selma, Alabama Needles, California McComb, Mississippi Florida City, Florida Houston, Alaska East Saint Louis, Illinois Gary, Indiana Camden, New Jersey
    3
  222.  @showcaseSampa  Downtown Hartford is fine. However, there are many very bad parts of Hartford such as Clay Arsenal and Frog Hollow.
    3
  223. I want to plan a trip to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge since they're right next to each other.
    3
  224.  @brianmuir9059  The U.S. is a very large country it really depends on what part of the U.S. you're in. Also, guns are only a problem if they are in the hands of the wrong people.
    3
  225.  @tech8222  Or just Texas as a state he wouldn't even have to say most of
    3
  226. Washington next please
    3
  227. 6. Skid Row, Los Angeles as someone mentioned 7. That one notoriously bad neighborhood on the West Side of Chicago I forget what it's called 8. O'Block, Chicago 9. South Central, Los Angeles 10. Frog Hollow, Hartford Just to name a few more
    3
  228. A lot of people are moving away from New Jersey? Wow I wonder why...
    3
  229. Well it is part of New England. All of the New England states have a lot of cities and towns named after cities and towns in the UK.
    3
  230. 3 pros and cons I can think of before watching: Pros: 1. One of the most beautiful states in the country 2. Great economy 3. Very high level of education Cons: 1. Cost of living 2. Above average crime rate 3. Weather (Very hot summers and very cold winters) There are definitely a lot more pros than cons though. Colorado is one of the best states we have if you can afford it.
    3
  231. My reaction to all of these: I wonder why 😂
    3
  232. It is gorgeous and beautiful but just also happens to have problems including a very high cost of living lol
    3
  233. The only downside is they do have high crime. It's very beautiful though and I want to visit there.
    3
  234. Thank you. I think South Carolina is a little bit hot for my taste but it's a good state that I would still consider living in. It has some areas to avoid so this helps me know where I should live if I do decide to move there.
    3
  235.  @josephrobi6806  The states I would consider to be not as hot but not too cold are Virginia, North Carolina (can get a little hot but not as bad), Delaware, Maryland, Southern parts of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Iowa as well as Northern Missouri, West Virginia, and Kentucky. Idaho (can get a little cold), Utah, Washington (if you don't mind the rain, same with Oregon), Oregon and most of California (although there are a lot of natural disasters and it's super expensive) are generally good too for weather. I think Hawaii doesn't get too bad either and at least you have the ocean right there if you do get too hot but it's very expensive. I think Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming and Montana as well as most of Nevada are pretty good too but they can get hot in the summer and cold in the winter although not as much as some other states. Out of the states mentioned above I would recommend Virginia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, rural Indiana, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Wyoming or Idaho and I would also include Colorado, Montana, Utah, Idaho, Washington and Oregon if you have a lot of money. Especially Colorado, Washington and Oregon can get very expensive.
    3
  236.  @josephrobi6806  Pennsylvania is a great state as Briggs will tell you
    3
  237. I agree I watch Nick Johnson too but Briggs is the best
    3
  238. My state is #7. Ironically I am one of the few people who aren't a big fan of it even though I have lived here my entire life. That's because I'm only 18 though and I plan on moving to another state within the next few years. Massachusetts is getting better though, but there are just some things I don't like about it.
    3
  239. Also I like your channel logo because Texas is awesome
    3
  240. Probably for the same reasons as the thunderstorms and lightning I also read somewhere that FlorIda has the most tornadoes per capita of any U.S. state. Even more than Kansas which is 2nd.
    3
  241. I am surprised about Alaska because they have no sales or income tax
    3
  242. I thought Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New York would be on the list too
    3
  243. Negative lists Mississippi won’t be on: - Most expensive states to live in - States with the highest taxes - Worst states for education (they are middle of the road) - States with the rudest people - States with the worst traffic
    3
  244. Alabama: “At least we’re not Mississippi” Mississippi: “At least we’re not Louisiana” Louisiana: “At least we’re not... shit
    3
  245.  @FossilHntr1  I value freedom
    3
  246. It's kind of lazy that our nation's capital and one of our best states are both named after the same person
    3
  247.  @kylokenUSMC  Okay, at least California has the best variety of scenery. They have everything. Great place to visit, I wouldn't want to live there.
    2
  248.  @markwatson8345  I'm not from California and don't plan on moving there anytime soon. It was just refreshing to see a video showing some positives of California.
    2
  249.  @askmisspatience  I'm from the east coast too and haven't been to Iowa yet but I want to visit someday
    2
  250. Oregon is a lot better than California
    2
  251. My guess before watching: 10. Gates of the Arctic National Park 9. Louisiana 8. Everglades National Park 7. Long Beach 6. William G. Milliken State Park 5. Niagara Falls State Park 4. Six Flags New Orleans 3. Death Valley National Park 2. Alaska 1. Mauna Kea Beach
    2
  252.  @KW02712  New Hampshire is on the top of my list for places to move to. Especially once you get north of Concord it gets very nice especially near the White Mountains. It also becomes more affordable the further away you get from Boston.
    2
  253. And I'm pretty sure every major city but I could be wrong. I have been to upstate New York several times but never realized it was conservative.
    2
  254.  @crystalc1ear  That's what I thought
    2
  255.  @ajduker  Pennsylvania had conflicting data so they removed it
    2
  256. Guess before watching: 10. West Virginia 9. New York 8. Texas 7. Illinois 6. Delaware 5. Arkansas 4. Alabama 3. Mississippi 2. California 1. New Jersey

  257. It certainly is a HOT spot lol

  259. Seattle has two seasons: Summer and rain

    2
  261. No it's actually about even
    2
  262. I wouldn't necessarily have thought Honolulu outside of cost of living but definitely San Francisco lol
    2
  263. 1:07 Great choice Harry S. Truman is a very underrated president
    2
  264. Connecticut is not on this list because it sux lol. Central Falls, Adams and Millinocket don’t deserve to be on this list because Central Falls is terrible, Adams is kind of a dump, and if you do your research you will find out that Millinocket is where the dreadful ‘wedding in Maine’ took place that led to many positive COVID-19 cases and at least a few deaths as well. Otherwise, good list.
    2
  265. I always thought of Riverside and San Bernardino as being part of the Los Angeles metro area
    2
  266. Please also do best cities and best towns in Texas. They should be two separate lists because there are so many great cities in Texas that deserve their own list and the same is true with the smaller cities and towns.
    2
  267. Here are my guesses for this list: Maine Minnesota Nebraska New Hampshire North Carolina Texas Utah Virginia Washington Wisconsin
    2
  268. I’m a conservative but I don’t use terms like “liberal cesspool”. Liberal and conservative cities are about as likely as each other to have a lot of problems. There are a lot of problems in Portland but the same is true with Jackson. Baltimore has a lot of problems but so does San Bernadino. Dallas is a nice city but so is Boston. I am pretty reasonable in understanding this.
    2
  269.  @RoofedAsian89  Either state is great but I would easily choose Texas if I didn't mind the heat. Texas is still somewhat conservative but it's definitely becoming more of a swing state. It's still a great state though.
    2
  270. Lol
    2
  271. It depends on where in the state you are
    2
  272. I’m guessing these states will be on the list: Alabama Arkansas California Florida Mississippi New Jersey New York Ohio Texas West Virginia
    2
  273. Guess before watching: 10. Korean 9. Hebrew 8. Japanese 7. Arabic 6. Italian 5. Chinese Mandarin 4. Portuguese 3. French 2. Spanish 1. English Edit: Nevermind I didn't realize you weren't counting English and Spanish
    2
  274. More like the worst
    2
  275. I agree they should all be in the top 10 if not top 15. Idaho should be in the top 5 and I would even rank it #2 behind Washington if not #1 because it has virtually no problems and Seattle isn't doing so well right now and I would hesitate to rank Washington #1 as a result although it's a great and very beautiful state apart from some neighborhoods in Seattle and a few other places.
    2
  276. I didn't expect West Virginia to be #50 because it's a very beautiful state and getting better. I also never heard of it being the cheapest. I have heard that for Mississippi and Iowa but not West Virginia. I expected Mississippi to be #50.

  278.  @cr-lb5yh  Seriously literally whenever I mention anything about moving to New Hampshire on a YouTube comments section, at least one person says something along the lines of "Unless you grew up here, you have no reason to go here. We have enough people from Massachusetts ruining our state already". It's not like I live close to the New Hampshire border, it's a great state to live in that's better and more affordable than Massachusetts, and I have family in New Hampshire or anything. What bothers me even more is when people try to keep me from even visiting there.
    2
  279.  @cr-lb5yh  Yeah some towns in Massachusetts near the New Hampshire border feel more like New Hampshire than parts of Southern New Hampshire. My grandparents live in a rural Massachusetts town on the New Hampshire border which feels a lot more like New Hampshire than most of the Salem-Manchester-Nashua area. A lot of people from Northern New Hampshire call anything south of Concord "Massachusetts", and I can see where they are coming from.
    2
  280. 4:12 So basically like New Hampshire. New Hampshire is a blue state (call it a swing state if you want but it’s a blue state considering how they haven’t voted red in a long time and probably won’t again anytime soon.)
    2
  281. True New Hampshire is a far better state in general tho. Oregon is still decent it’s a lot better than California and some other places.
    2
  282. Nice I am from Massachusetts too not far from the New Hampshire border. I also have family in Northern New Hampshire and I have family in Massachusetts one town from the New Hampshire border as well. I have walked to New Hampshire from their house many times.
    2
  283. And because of natural scenery and things to do and higher education but that's it. Plus the weather in California is only good if you go by the temperatures and sunshine. They are the worst state for natural disasters from wildfires to earthquakes.
    2
  284. Alabama isn’t one of the worst states we have but it has one of the worst state nicknames
    2
  285. Groton shouldn't be on this list and some of the other towns mentioned probably shouldn't either but I agree with Putnam and Willimantic. What about Litchfield, Enfield, Killingly, Hamden and Plainfield?
    2
  286. He would have the most difficulty winning these states in an election
    2
  287.  @lanavikadorothea1913  I recommend staying in Texas they also have the Guadalupe Mountains if you want to live in the mountains I recommend moving to West Texas near El Paso. Texas is a far better state. If you want very large mountains I would recommend Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia, New Hampshire, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Utah, Idaho or Washington before Pennsylvania. Out of those, I would recommend Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia, New Hampshire, Colorado, Idaho and Washington the most. Just make sure if you move to Washington you don't move near Seattle. Move to Central or Eastern Washington or on the Olympic Peninsula. Also, if you don't need very tall mountains I recommend just staying in Texas. It's a great state.
    2
  288. Or maybe the Carolinas in one list together?
    2
  289.  @glamp63  Northern New Hampshire has a good cost of living and housing costs
    2
  290.  @gregwegleitner1933  Iowa is boring but it has both a low cost of living and a great quality of life
    2
  291. ​@Sal Spencer That's not true. Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia and Texas are all great states. South Carolina is good. There are ignorant people everywhere and the South has the kindest and friendliest people in the country. As for crime, South Carolina and Tennessee have some crime but aren't terrible. As for poverty, Mississippi has very high poverty but low crime. West Virginia has high poverty but low crime and they are getting better. Arkansas and Louisiana unfortunately have high crime and poverty in a lot of areas though. Northwest Arkansas and the Ozarks are nice. Basically the South like everywhere has some problems like any place but it doesn't make it a bad region.

  293. 2:43 I am guessing Washington but we will see

  296. ​ @shanemane4249  I am not even a Republican, I am an independent. I lean conservative but not enough to be a "real" Republican. My point is that red states aren't necessarily worse off than blue states and it depends on the state. Texas is still a pretty great state which is why so many people are moving there, Oklahoma and Kentucky aren't terrible. Some of the worst states include the red states of Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi but also the blue states of New Mexico, New York, New Jersey and California. Some of the best states include the blue states of New Hampshire, Washington and Colorado but also the red states of Idaho, Nebraska, and Utah. It depends on what's important to you though, if you would rather pay $500,000 for a house while having to pay very high taxes on top of it but have a higher paying job than pay $200,000 for the same type of house in a more affordable state with low taxes and have a lower paying job, New York, New Jersey, and California welcome you. That is just an example as there are many factors as to what makes a state desirable or undesirable, but in the end it's subjective to what matters to you.

  304. @Kelly Smith Maybe in Burlington that's true but not the rest of the state. Iowa is actually a swing state and it voted conservative in both the 2020 and 2016 presidential elections. If you think Iowa is so "third world" and liberal with a lot of people on welfare go to any of these places and you will be surprised: MA- Lawrence, Lowell, Haverhill, Lynn, Chelsea, East Boston, Dorchester, Roxbury, Mattapan, New Bedford, Fall River, Brockton, Worcester, Webster, Southbridge, Fitchburg, Springfield, West Springfield, Chicopee, Holyoke Rhode Island- Pawtucket, Central Falls, Woonsocket, Southern and Western Providence Connecticut- Hartford, New Haven, New London, Bridgeport, New Britain, Waterbury New York- New York City, Rochester, Syracuse, Buffalo, Niagara Falls New Jersey- Newark, Paterson, Trenton, Camden Wilmington DE Baltimore Washington D.C. Philadelphia Cleveland Detroit Gary East Chicago South Side of Chicago Milwaukee Minneapolis Rochester MN Brownsville TX Most of New Mexico- Most notably Alberquerque, Las Vegas, Taos, Gallup Washington- Parts of Seattle, Parts of Tacoma, Everett, Tukwila Oregon- Portland and Salem Most of Western California- Most notably San Francisco, Oakland, Los Angeles, Long Beach, Inglewood, Compton Central and Eastern California- San Bernadino, Needles, Riverside Saint Louis Memphis Jackson MS Clarksdale MS Birmingham AL Miami Atlanta Puerto Rico Actual third world countries and otherwise bad countries like much of Mexico, most of Central America, Colombia, Venezuela, Brazil, most of the Carribean, most of Africa, most of the middle east, most of Eastern Europe, and Russia, China and North Korea.

  305. The biggest surprise for me is Israel. It doesn’t surprise me that Europe is on here a lot. It seems like apart from Vatican City, Greece and a few other places they would be relatively non-religious compared to a lot of parts of the world. Also North Korea should be on here unless you count worshipping the Kim Dynasty as a religion.

    2
  309. James Wilson It's actually more Hispanic than black but that's not why it's the worst place in America. It's because of the extreme high crime and poverty and the things that come with it like tons of boarded up buildings and trash everywhere, etc. I've actually never been there but I know from research.
    2
  310.  @alanbstard9301  Same because it ranks as the best state for affordability
    2
  311. I have been to Portsmouth it's a nice small city
    2
  312. We have the best sports teams in the country. For #1 you should have included all of the sports teams on the list. At least you mentioned the other sports teams so that's good. Also, colleges and history should both be on this list because we are one of the best cities for both of those things. Also things to do should be on the list as well so nightlife could be included in that category. Otherwise, good job.
    2
  313. @andydguitar Also just get rid of Philadelphia and what you have left is a great state
    2
  314.  @rustedrains976  Thank you I try to get information from both sides equally, and I make sure I balance blue and red states on these types of lists while also keeping my opinion based on facts. Everyone has bias but I try to be fair and not too biased in either direction.
    2
  315. I think the unfriendliness of the Idahoans towards Californians is scaring them away
    2
  316. The thing about Vatican City being too small isn’t necessarily true. Places that small are either only one good area or one bad area tho. Central Falls, Rhode Island is only 1 square mile but is a shithole.
    2
  317. 3:45 I’m pretty sure it’s because of Guinea, Equatorial Guinea and Guinea-Bissau although Ghana doesn’t help
    2
  318. Except for most of Illinois, most of the larger cities and some of the smaller cities in Ohio, most of the larger cities in Indiana, some of the larger cities in Michigan, most of Milwaukee, most of the larger cities in Missouri, and some places in the other states but not too many as well as any places in the states I mentioned that I missed. However, those places only make up a small percentage of the Midwest and most of the Midwest is a great place to live.
    2
  319. ​ @CrystalClearWith8BE  Those and the Dakotas are the best. Kansas is pretty good and much of rural Indiana and Missouri is great too. Michigan, Ohio and Oklahoma have some very nice places but also a lot of very bad places. Illinois has a few nice Chicago suburbs but most of the Chicago and Saint Louis metro areas is very bad and most of the rest of the state is farmland.
    2
  320.  @CrystalClearWith8BE  Like I said they do have problems but there are good places in those states too. Michigan has Grand Rapids which is great and most of their rural areas are nice as well as some Detroit suburbs. Indiana has Fort Wayne which is great but also has nice Indianapolis suburbs like Carmel and Fishers and most of rural Indiana is very nice. The Columbus metro area is definitely the best part of Ohio although the other major cities have some great suburbs too and Ohio also has some nice small towns. Like I said, most of the Chicago and Saint Louis areas of Illinois are bad although Chicago has some great areas and nice suburbs and most of the rest of the state is farmland.
    2
  321.  @Shannonbarnesdr1  Even Tennessee isn't that bad. Both states have their problems and bad people just like every state but most of the people who live in both are good and nice people. I guessed West Virginia would be on the list a lot because it has a very low cost of living and it's a beautiful state that is getting better.

  333.  @LissaKasey  I looked it up and Rochester has about 120,000 residents while St. Cloud has about 66,000. Duluth has about 85,000 so I wouldn't consider St. Cloud or Duluth to be big cities (I would call them mid-sized cities) and I would Rochester to be a fairly big city but not like Minneapolis.

  334. I have heard of Inglewood, California I am pretty sure it makes Compton look like Irvine

  343.  Connie Shelp  And yes about Portland. I was just trying to put it in a nice way lol.
    2
  344. ​ @CommentLikeDescribe  Liberal cities and states are so expensive with high taxes because of the liberal politics though. It's not the only factor of why they are so expensive but it's a lot of it. For example, New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland are much more expensive than Texas but Texas is a far more desirable state to live in. Also, the housing costs aren't the only problem with Seattle. They also have a lot of riots and a lot of homeless problems like much of the West coast. Same with Portland. Seattle and Portland's homeless problem still isn't as bad as San Francisco but it's getting there.
    2
  345.  @feliciasampson8032  Yeah I love taking the ferry from Bremerton to Seattle. That whole area and most of Washington state as a whole is very pretty. My family actually lives on the other side of Port Orchard near the Belfair border. They live on a lake too.
    2
  346.  @WorldAccordingToBriggs  It wasn't a surprise for me but I expected Oregon and Pennsylvania to be in the top 5. Also, Idaho deserves a spot on the list in my opinion. I would replace Oklahoma, Nebraska, Minnesota, Vermont and Massachusetts with Virginia, Montana, Wyoming, Oregon and Idaho. Otherwise, I agree with Wisconsin, Colorado Texas, New Hampshire and Washington. I also like Nebraska, Minnesota and Vermont but I just wouldn't quite put them in the top 10 personally. Also, I live in Massachusetts and it's not that great in my opinion. Oklahoma is about average.

  355.  @showcaseSampa  Good list. Also remember most of Northern New Hampshire (especially Coos County) is affordable and much of Maine and Vermont are too. Central and Western Mass have some affordable small towns that are nice like Templeton, Cheshire, Dalton and Hinsdale. Torrington, Connecticut is affordable and isn't bad either. Remember most of Hartford is a very bad city though but right about some of the surrounding communities. Much of Manchester is bad too.

  371. ​ @Yezar275  That's subjective. I disagree some of the worst states are New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and New Mexico. Also Texas, Nebraska, Utah, South Dakota, Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming are some of the best states although Washington and Oregon are very good too. Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana and Alaska are bad tho. My point is that how liberal or conservative a state is doesn't make it a good or bad state.
    2
  372.  @Yezar275  I have done a decent amount of research but I will do more. Here are some examples of good things in red states just from memory: Texas- Great food, cities, economy, jobs, natural scenery, fast growing cities Nebraska- Affordable, 6th best education system, good economy Idaho- Tons of beautiful scenery especially the Sawtooth Mountains, low crime, fast growing population Utah- 2nd best economy, great education system The South as a whole- great people, a lot of things to do, great beaches Wyoming, Montana- Low cost of living, low taxes, beautiful rocky mountains and national parks, glaciers in Montana. They have low crime as well There are a lot of blue states that are great as well and some of the swing states like New Hampshire and Iowa are great too but there are a lot of great red states as well.

  373. @DEEJMASTER 333 No you are completely wrong

  374. @DEEJMASTER 333 Freedom, military, economy, education, health care, things to do, natural scenery, good government and political system compared to most countries, more affordable than a lot of countries, safer than a lot of countries, less people in poverty than a lot of countries

  376.  @johnperic6860  Charleston has a poverty rate of 14.3% which isn't bad at all. Also, only some Southern states have high poverty not all. Georgia and South Carolina have a poverty rate of 16.0%. Texas's is 15.5%, North Carolina's is 15.4%, Florida's is 14.8%, and Virginia's is 10.9%. They are still above the national average of 10.5% in 2019 (most recent data, now it's probably a lot higher), but compared to Mississippi's poverty rate of 20.9% (which is the highest in the nation, a lot of the other Southern states don't have bad poverty.

    2
  384.  @ForeverFalling153  I imagine the stranded feeling would be even worse in Hawaii which is one of the reasons why I would never live there. The other reasons are because of cost of living, volcanic eruptions and the fact that it's basically summer year round. I like to have seasons.

  391. I didn't expect you to leave Oregon and Pennsylvania off of this list. I agree that Washington is the best state though. I have family there. I also saw that they currently have the best quality of life according to U.S. News and World Report.
    2
  392. @TwoWolves Yeah Tilton has a good Thai restaurant for example and so does Littleton. In my opinion, New Hampshire has as good variety of food as the average U.S. state, it has a decent amount of variety but not as much as neighboring Massachusetts and New York. Of course New Hampshire does have great seafood just like the rest of New England.

I never said Mexico was a bad country, just that there are dangerous parts of Mexico just like how there are dangerous parts of the U.S., Canada and any country. I agree the U.S. needs to focus on improving and maintaining our relationship with Mexico, not treating it as our inferior neighbor but our ally.

The only wealthy place in Massachusetts that I would call unbearable is Cambridge. Otherwise, Andover, Manchester by the Sea, Winchester, Lexington, Lynnfield, etc. are very nice towns. There are a lot of bad places in Massachusetts tho but almost all of them are poor and not wealthy. The very bad places in Massachusetts are: Roxbury Dorchester Mattapan East Boston Allston Cambridge Chelsea Revere Lynn Lawrence Haverhill Lowell Fitchburg Shirley Ayer Orange Athol Winchendon Royalston Worcester Leicester Spencer Webster Southbridge New Bedford Fall River Brockton Holbrook Rockland Hyannis Springfield Chicopee Holyoke West Springfield Montague Charlemont Heath Colrain Hawley Florida North Adams Adams Pittsfield Quincy Ware Palmer Wareham Some Neighborhoods in otherwise nicer cities and towns (Parts of Peabody, Saugus, Leominster, Methuen, Attleboro, Taunton) There are plenty of mildly bad places as well but they aren't that bad. The places I listed above are the worst and even most of them have some nice areas.

  405. How?
    1
  406. Besides Hartford places like New Haven, New Britain, Bridgeport, and New London are very bad too. Not as bad as Hartford, but still pretty bad. The only nice places are some of the small towns scattered throughout the state but mainly in the southeastern part such as Old Saybrook and Old Lyme. Greenwich is nice too.

  423. 8:53 Based on what you said before watching the rest of the video I am guessing the other two places are New Jersey and either Balitmore or Wilmington, Delaware. If not Philadelphia. I wonder if I am right. Edit: I should have seen #2 coming. That certainly makes sense for what you said. I was picturing closer to New York so that's why I wasn't expecting that. Of course, I was right about #1. It makes sense since it's right next to them but what I don't understand is why would anyone want to live there? I mean California is one thing at least it has tons of beautiful natural scenery, nice beaches, good weather and a lot to do but New Jersey? The entire state is very densely populated and congested. Some people like that and there's nothing wrong with that but it's not for me and I am pretty sure a lot of people would agree with me. The reasons why I really don't understand why anyone would move there (especially from New York and especially New York City) is because it's just about as expensive as New York and doesn't have anything positive that New York doesn't have. They have the same type of weather, there are tons of expensive tolls as well as traffic just like New York, they have the same sports teams and accents as New York, they even have the same types of food as well as radio stations as New York City, and it's an ugly and dirty state overall at least to me and a lot of other people. The only nice places I can think of in New Jersey are Princeton and maybe Cape May and that area along the coast south of Atlantic City. I am sure there are more hidden gems I don't know about but still.

  434.  @MrKevinEaddy  They do. Naturally being the most populated state and 3rd largest in area they have a lot of variety including a wide range of people. You just have to get away from the congestion of Los Angeles and the big cities along the coast to get there.

  439. I am guessing Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Camden NJ, New York City, Washington DC, Saint Louis, and Oakland will be on this list. I'm not sure about the neighborhoods but probably West Garfield Park in Chicago, Warrendale in Detroit, Skid Row in Los Angeles and Kensington in Philadelphia

  440. Reasons to move to Connecticut:

  441. I think currently Louisiana is the worst state in the country because it is according to statistics and it does very badly in just about every category except for affordability. Mississippi and Arkansas are in the top 5 tho for sure along with Alabama. The #5 spot is harder to place because it could go to Alaska, West Virginia, New Jersey, New Mexico, Delaware or Maryland but I would give it to New Mexico and rank Alaska 45th. West Virginia, New Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland are probably 44th to 41st in that order. I have made my own lists of the rankings of the U.S. states and they vary a little bit because some states could be placed ahead of or behind each other because they are so close in quality. This is my top 10 although it varies: 10. Minnesota 9. Montana 8. Wisconsin 7. Wyoming 6. Colorado 5. Idaho 4. Texas 3. Oregon 2. New Hampshire 1. Washington

  442. I like how people call California the sunshine state when the sunshine state is Florida. California is the golden state.

  443. I like how you only considered Oregon and Colorado when choosing a place to move to. Why not Washington or Idaho?
    1
  444. That’s only a fraction of those states. The only places you mentioned are Seattle and Boise. Idaho is a lot more than just Boise, and Washington is a lot more than just Seattle. Do you like Utah?
    1
  445. What about Boston? I might be a bit biased but it’s a great city. Also where is Dallas-Fort Worth? I also expected to see San Diego on this list although they do have some problems like the rest of California.

  446. My guess of states on this list: 10. California 9. Florida 8. West Virginia 7. Alabama 6. Arkansas 5. Tennessee 4. Alaska 3. Mississippi 2. New Mexico Honorable Mention: Washington D.C.

  447.  @user-hf3eb8lj5g  I was guessing it would this year because it has the loosest COVID laws in the country and tons of cases and deaths compared to other states because of it. They also have a lot of mass shootings but I guess the stats used on this list kind of save it.

    1
  453. ​ Matt Nass  I might not move to Texas anyways because I don't like the heat but it has so many positives greatly outweigh its problems which is why so many people are moving there. There are other states that I am considering too. I really like North Carolina and Wyoming is great too as well as a lot of the midwestern/great plains states. I love Washington, Idaho, Western Montana, Colorado and Utah too but they have gotten very expensive especially Washington and Colorado. I currently live in Massachusetts and want to get out.
    1
  454.  Matt Nass  Damn that must have been really scary. I think Dallas is a great city in the tourist areas but they have some REALLY scary neighborhoods
    1
  455.  Matt Nass  I think Austin, El Paso and Fort Worth are pretty good too as well as a lot of the smaller cities like Plano and Round Rock and there are a lot of great small towns but Houston is a dump
    1
  456.  Matt Nass  I think Dallas is a place I want to visit but I wouldn't want to live there unless I lived in a neighborhood that I knew for a fact was safe. I think it's very important to check out the neighborhood before moving there wherever you live.

  484. Most of these states aren’t worth the price in my opinion. Who would want to pay extra to live in New Jersey or Maryland? The only states out of these I would find to be worth it are Vermont, Rhode Island and Oregon. Also some places in Massachusetts and Connecticut but it really depends on where in the state you live. California as a whole is a mess but it’s a very large state so has a wide variety and the Northern part of the state is pretty nice. Still, I don’t think it would be worth it when there are so many better states to choose from. I mean the laws, cost of living and taxes are still too out of control. Hawaii is a great place to visit but I wouldn’t want to live there not just for cost of living but also isolation, erupting volcanoes and no seasons. Also I knew Hawaii would be #1. The other states listed have some nice towns but there are just so many better states to choose from even ones with a much lower cost of living like Texas and Nebraska.
    1
  485. Like I said I wouldn’t want to live in the part of California where most of the population lives. However, I would imagine that the cost of living and taxes aren’t as bad in Northern California or even Eastern California. I still wouldn’t want to live there though. I agree all of those states have problems but Vermont, Rhode Island and Oregon have so much to like about them that it kind of makes up for it. I live in Massachusetts and jobs are a lot more well-paying than the neighboring states of New Hampshire and Vermont. New Jersey and Maryland may have high-paying jobs but I wouldn’t want to live there for other reasons like high crime in the more urban areas especially Paterson, Camden and Baltimore and not much pretty scenery, things to do, etc. for the high cost.
    1
  486. @Henry Johnson I actually live in Massachusetts and have lived here my entire life so I know the northeast and especially New England very well. I have been to all of the New England states many times and find that there is a lot to do in all of the New England states including New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont, but it just depends on what you’re interested in. I really enjoy the outdoors, nature and natural scenery so I really enjoy those states but I can understand that there are people who don’t enjoy those things as much as I do and are more into things like nightlife so it’s not for everyone. Massachusetts has tons to do for everyone though and the other New England states have more things to do overall than you think.
    1
  487. Probably mostly Republican states in the South and Great Plains and Rocky Mountains. I don't mean that in a negative way at all just to be clear.
    1
  488. The overall trend seems to be, "We don't want people from blue states ruining ours with their liberal ideas". This bothers me because not everyone that happens to be from a blue state is a liberal, and even if they are people should have the right to live where they want.

    1
  491. 6:07 Actually Massachusetts and Hawaii while Essex County in Vermont voted red both elections
    1
  492. Brownsville doesn’t surprise me because it looks like a third world country, probably because it’s so close to Matamoros, Mexico. Fort Wayne is definitely the nicest city on this list. Mobile seems okay if you don’t mind the heat. It’s probably good for retirees.
    1
  493. Fairplay is kind of a dump honestly lol
    1
  494. I hope not but it probably will if it turns blue which is what democrats are trying to do. It's already happened with Oregon, Washington and Colorado with all of the Californians moving there and it's even spreading to red states too like Montana, Idaho and Utah. Nevada and Arizona are still pretty affordable (especially Arizona) but they seem to be heading in the wrong direction because of it too. It's also the reason why Colorado has turned blue although mainly because of the Denver area but they seem to be some spreading across the state too and turning red counties blue. Nevada turned purple a long time ago but it seems pretty steady at least. However, Arizona is now purple and will probably become blue because of the Californians moving there too. I think Virginia turned blue because of liberals moving there from more northern states like New York and that is also why Georgia and the Carolinas are turning purple. At least some states are becoming more conservative though so hopefully the country won't become too liberal and expensive.

  495. 6:26 Lmao 😂

  496. I am guessing Alaska will be #1 considering it has the highest percentage of people who think their state is the best state. I am guessing these will be 10-2 on this list but not necessarily in that order: Florida Texas California Hawaii Colorado Utah Washington North Carolina New Hampshire
    1
  497. Kansas is clearly the best state for roadside attractions. This is a good list but I would also mention The Big Blue Bug in Providence and Carhenge in Alliance, Nebraska. I live in Massachusetts and I have been by The Big Blue Bug on Route 95 many times.

  498. Top 10 U.S. cities that are going downhill in my opinion: 10. Houston, TX 9. Eugene, OR 8. Chicago, IL 7. Austin, TX 6. Jackson, MS 5. Seattle, WA 4. Portland, OR 3. Los Angeles, CA 2. San Francisco, CA 1. Memphis, TN

  500. You put the Gum Wall for Washington, D.C. I know you didn’t mean to or you did it on purpose to see if people would notice. I have family about an hour drive or an hour ferry ride from Bremerton to Seattle and I have been to Seattle many times. I have been to the gum wall as well. I have also been inside the Space Needle, along Alaskan Way and to a shop and restaurant there (I forget it’s name it has something to do with a crab though. I have been to Pike Place as well, and the world’s first Starbucks shop. People say Seattle is a dying city and there is some truth to that but Seattle is still a good city at least to visit. Also, West Seattle is a very nice area much like West Roxbury in Boston except that it’s on Puget Sound. My uncle who was in the coast guard for many years had a retirement ceremony there.

  501. Can you do more cheap places that are good places to live? None of these seem like good options
    1
  502.  @alexanderfretheim5720  It depends on where in those states you live though. Also, Montana isn't that expensive. All of these states are still relatively inexpensive compared to my state (Massachusetts), Lower New York, New Jersey, California and Hawaii but Colorado and Washington are still expensive in most areas.
    1
  503.  @alexanderfretheim5720  More like North Dakota or Eastern Wyoming not really Kansas. I just know that the state as a whole isn't that expensive but maybe it's because the Eastern part of the state is so cheap but the Western part isn't so I guess it makes sense that it would even out to about average

  506. @Nebula Vortex Nice I live in Malden, Massachusetts and my dad, step mother, most of my siblings (half siblings) and my step sister live in Bath. I also have (half) siblings that live in Lisbon and some of their family on their mom's side lives in Lisbon. Also, my step mother and step sister both have family in Woodsville. All three towns are close to each other and right between the White Mountains and the Vermont border and it's very beautiful there. That part of Vermont is beautiful too and I cross the border a lot when I visit them because it's so close and we have gone camping for the past two years on the Vermont side of the border too.

  512.  @marylester45  Washington is a very beautiful state with the best quality of life in the country. It must just not be for you. Texas is a great state and if I didn't think it was it wouldn't be in the top 10.

  516. @Kevin S South Dakota: Underrated scenery and things to do with a relaxing atmosphere, good quality of life, low cost of living and low taxes. North Dakota: Similar to South Dakota but just not as beautiful and with less to do. Has a good economy too. Montana: Great scenery and things to do especially on the Western side with the Rocky Mountains, lakes and Glacier National Park. Very pro second amendment as well! Cost of living is higher though. Wyoming: Amazing Western half just like Montana. Very beautiful state and laid back and rural. Cheaper than Montana and also very conservative and pro second amendment. Nebraska: Another underrated state! Has some beautiful scenery and good things to do that not a lot of people realize. Thousands and thousands of cranes migrate to the Platte River every year and it's very beautiful. They also have a great quality of life with a very low cost of living and low taxes. Iowa: Very affordable with a great quality of life. Very low crime in most areas of the state and low poverty as well. Boring compared to most states but relaxed and laid back. Minnesota: Great all-around quality of life and a great state for families. Beautiful lakes and forests and mostly rural with low crime and poverty in most areas of the state outside of the Minneapolis-Saint Paul area.

  520.  @Forthebulls  When did I ever say otherwise? And I'm not a Democrat but I vote for the person not the party...

  521. My state is #1 and honestly I disagree. The cost of living and taxes are terrible, the infrastructure is very bad and it's not really that nice in a lot of areas. The people aren't very friendly either. There are tons of very bad places in Massachusetts as well. The good news is everything you said plus Cape Cod, The Islands and the Berkshires are very beautiful as well as some other parts of the state, we have great high paying jobs, Boston is a great city besides the cost of living with the best sports teams in the country, and we have great food. We have a lot of history too.
    1
  522. I guessed Fort Wayne would be #1. I find Fort Wayne, Nebraska and Iowa to be the most appealing out of this list. Texas and Oklahoma are great too but the only reason I would hesitate to live there is the heat as well as a lot of tornadoes in a lot of those areas and hurricanes near the Gulf of Mexico.
    1
  523. Michigan is on this list a lot that’s a good sign

  531. 70mjc Fax I live in Massachusetts. Connecticut is a dump. I will give it credit for having some nice towns tho. Old Saybrook and much of the rest of the Southeastern part of the state is great. It’s unfortunate that most of the rest of the state isn’t tho. Connecticut is basically New England’s Arkansas in terms of quality with the Southeastern part of the state being their equivalent of the Northwestern part of Arkansas. If that makes sense.
    1
  532. They are both Miss states that end in I lol
    1
  533. North End and Beacon Hill are two of the best areas. Also, Boston is actually very safe for a major city. Roxbury, Dorchester and Mattapan aren't even that bad compared to a lot of places in Detroit, Saint Louis, Baltimore, Chicago, Cleveland, New York City, Hartford, any major city in California except for maybe San Diego and Irvine (if that counts as a major city), Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Kansas City and so many other places. Really almost any other major city in the world has worst neighborhoods than the worst areas of Boston.

  534.  @jaopbeantown  Im sorry that happened I hope everything is ok now

  535. Virginia should be on this list. It’s one of my top states to move to and weather is one of the main reasons why. Also, Seattle is very similar to Portland.
    1
  536. Seriously I highly recommend you move out of Portland and move to either Washington or a nicer part of Oregon. If you still want to live near Portland, even a suburb will be 10 times better. Also fun fact: U.S. News and World Report ranked Washington as the best state to live in for 2 years in a row and Louisiana as the worst for 2 years in a row (both for 2019 and 2021, they skipped 2020 for some reason).
    1
  537. I am guessing in no particular order California, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, West Virginia, and New Mexico.

  538. I don't know much about most of these towns but I agree that Lancaster and Leavenworth are very nice. I did think that West Virginia would be on this list at least twice because it's one of the most affordable states and it's a beautiful mountain state and getting better. I agree with the other towns on this list based on what you said and I have done some of my own research on Honesdale as well as watching your video on it and I agree it's a great town. Also, you stated that it's hard to find an ugly small town in New Hampshire or Vermont but it's also true for Maine as well.

  542. Please do this for 2021

  543.  @koiboi1562  Have you ever been there? It's a very beautiful town.
    1
  544.  @ForrestGumpSauce  Thank you also Mr. Briggs if you're seeing this I highly reccomend visiting the places I mentioned that you haven't been to. Also of course I know New England because I am from the heart of New England- Massachusetts which is in the middle of all of the New England States.
    1
  545. Nebula Vortex Little Compton is just south of Tiverton and west of Westport along the Atlantic Ocean. It’s a VERY nice town I recommend you visit. I agree Narragansett is very nice. I don’t know Cumberland very well but it seems like a nice town.
    1
  546. ​ @koiboi1562  I recommend exploring it more when you have the chance. The main strip along Route 1 and near the train station isn't especially nice but Fenwick, Saybrook Point, Fenwood, Knollwood and all of the areas on the opposite side of Route 95 are very nice. I am guessing your Aunt's house is in the not especially nice part I mentioned above and you probably went to the Town Beach which isn't the nicest. Most of the coastal areas are very beautiful so try driving along 154 and you will see what I mean. My Aunt, Uncle and cousins used to live right next to the Lynde Point Lighthouse in the Fenwick area and across the jetty from there is the Saybrook Breakwater Lighthouse. I also recommend Pizza Works or Rosemary and Sage for food and Sweet Luna's Frozen Yogurt for dessert.

  547. Nice I am from Malden (just north of Boston)
    1
  548. At #2 I thought I knew what #1 was going to be I was right
    1
  549. Except that West Virginia was once blue 🤔
    1
  550.  @outbackigloo6489  True
    1
  551. I expected either North Korea or Syria to be #1. They should both at least be in the top 5 but this is a good list. Surprisingly, I also read an article about a year ago about The Bahamas being the most dangerous country for Americans to visit with North Korea being second. I never would have guessed The Bahamas would be #1.
    1
  552.  @syrgaming1926  I can believe the welcoming part but it's definitely not safe. Syria is a war-torn and poverty-stricken country. You probably live in some remote area that is relatively safe but most of Syria is dangerous.
    1
  553.  @syrgaming1926  That's surprising I will do more research
    1
  554. Thank you I was going to guess before watching but you ruined it
    1
  555.  @rubicunduseratiudas1264  If weather is the worst thing you can say about a place than that's a good thing
    1
  556.  @rubicunduseratiudas1264  Well I am not anywhere close to being a retiree
    1
  557.  @rubicunduseratiudas1264  that does explain why so many of them move to Florida tho
    1
  558.  @rubicunduseratiudas1264  Probably because Florida is a shithole
    1
  559. I am guessing in no particular order: West Virginia, Ohio, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, Alaska, New Mexico, California, New Jersey and Delaware
    1
  560. 2:06 Why is that a problem?
    1
  561.  @RadicallyOptimistic  It's more like Utah is a less great version of Colorado it's still a great state
    1
  562. Also some of the poorest and most crime ridden cities in the country though (Camden, Paterson, a lot of others although not to as much of an extreme like Newark and Jersey City.) Also Atlantic City is pretty bad, and I’m pretty sure Trenton is too. There are way too many tolls per capita, and it’s the most densely populated state and is therefore a congested and traffic-filled nightmare. Also it’s dirty.
    1
  563.  @euenfheiejrj  Speaking of the education piece I am actually from Massachusetts
    1
  564. Guess before watching in no particular order: Alameda County, California Bernalillo County, New Mexico Saint Louis City, Missouri Cook County, Illinois Wayne County, Michigan Baltimore City, Maryland Shelby County, Tennessee Crittenden County, Arkansas Jefferson County, Alabama Washington, DC
    1
  565. I guess a deer is #2. You forgot about humans killing a lot of other humans every year. Also what about moose, mosquitoes and ticks? I expected them to be on this list.
    1
  566.  @geidysosa3212  That's only if you live in Florida
    1
  567. lol you're clearly from Cleveland or Columbus
    1
  568. Most of these are reasons to move there!
    1
  569. Lmao
    1
  570. Oklahoma is on both the worst and best list for 2020? I’m confused.
    1
  571.  @WorldAccordingToBriggs  I'm sorry I didn't mean to sound rude. I didn't realize the videos were specifically in relation to the pandemic. I love your videos and I hope you have a good night.
    1
  572. Boring but very low cost of living and a great quality of life which don't often go together. If you can get past the boredom they are great places to live.
    1
  573. 10:04 That's because Texas is a great state
    1
  574. Honestly I thought Rhode Island would be higher
    1
  575.  @gavin2915  The same can be said for all of New England
    1
  576.  Nun of the Above  This is true except for the part when you say it's paradise. I wouldn't consider a place that includes Oakland, San Francisco, Sacramento, Fresno, Stockton, Modesto, Bakersfield, Los Angeles, Compton, Watts, Long Beach, Riverside, San Bernardino, Needles, Vallejo, Eureka, Redding, Salinas, Huntington Beach, Torrance, Inglewood, San Jose and San Luis Obispo to be paradise lol.
    1
  577.  @legendaryNico  Actually the weather is the only downside of those places. Everything else is better than or close to the state averages. Texas is the best of the three by far tho with a great economy, great people, great food and great cities and things to do.
    1
  578. Great list
    1
  579. Great video for Halloween and Happy Halloween!
    1
  580. I am from Massachusetts and our winters get very cold and very snowy. New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine get colder winters though.
    1
  581. I would expect it to at least be an honorable mention because it's a territory. If it were the state it would probably be the 51st best tho or 52nd if Washington, D.C. was a state
    1
  582. Sara Williams Camden is the worst place in the entire country. Seriously, I think it's even worse than Detroit and Baltimore.
    1
  583. 4:18 That sounds like Clinton, Massachusetts lol
    1
  584. ​ @sundinfamforlife4129  They also have a good quality of life tho. Also they're not completely boring. Nebraska has the sand hills and an amazing spot for watching a major bird migration (I believe it's cranes), South Dakota has the badlands and Mount Rushmore, Iowa is more boring but at least they have interesting historic sites. I forget which president is from Iowa (Herbert Hoover maybe?) but they have interesting historic sites dedicated to him there. They also have Cedar Rapids so that's good.
    1
  585.  @sundinfamforlife4129  Nice I am not a big fan of Indiana but there are certainly more nice places there than somewhere like Delaware
    1
  586.  @coatit8243  I didn't realize it was so liberal but that makes sense because it's right next to Maine and very close to Massachusetts. At least it's a nice place to visit.
    1
  587.  @bethannneal5799  Or Laconia. I am looking to move from the Boston area to Northern or Central New Hampshire.
    1
  588.  @bethannneal5799  What about Carroll or Grafton County? I have family in Grafton County and might want to move there.
    1
  589.  @bethannneal5799  I like some but I don't like big crowds. I would rather live in a suburban or rural area than a very urban area. Urban is okay but not densely urban.
    1
  590. 11:00 That doesn’t surprise me it’s Bridgeport 🤣
    1
  591.  @maxmuhm160  That makes sense kind of like you could say that eastern Iowa is the Midwest and western Iowa is the Great Plains. Or that Northern Texas is the Great Plains, Eastern Texas is the South and Western Texas is the Southwest.
    1
  592.  @AuntieNay  I have never been to Missouri but im just going by my own research and what I have heard
    1
  593.    I know more about geography than most of the people I know. I know that the great lakes states and Iowa are technically geographically in the eastern half of the United States but they are still considered the Midwest. I mean they should be called the Mideast but they're not. My point is that The Great Plains states feel like their own region and that people generally consider Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana (and sometimes Missouri) to be the Midwest. You don't know me so it's not fair to assume I don't know anything about geography when I actually am very knowledgeable in that subject
    1
  594. You missed Pennsylvania
    1
  595.  @terricoopersgermany  I agree Kentucky isn't that bad
    1
  596. That’s true with Detroit and Baltimore but not the rest
    1
  597. I think of livability scores as pretty much the same as school grades so a 72 livability score would be a C-. The only difference is that it would maybe be a little bit higher like a C or C+.)
    1
  598. South Carolina, Oklahoma and West Virginia shouldn't be on this list. I would replace them with New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland. I can't argue with the others tho.
    1
  599. Thank you

  603. Briggs: You can't beat the scenery in West Virginia. It's probably the best in the country. California: Am I a joke to you?
    1
  604. I don’t know where you heard that from but we have all four seasons in Boston: Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall. The only difference is that our Winters last longer than some other places while our Springs and Falls go by a little quickly but they’re still beautiful and pleasant.
    1
  605. What about Tupelo, Petal and Madison?
    1
  606. ​ @Mississippidawg  What about Tupelo, Petal, Forest and Madison?
    1
  607. Texas gets the most tornadoes just because it's so big. Florida gets the most tornadoes per capita with Kansas being 2nd.
    1
  608. Top 5 states I think will be on this list: 1. Maine 2. Vermont 3. Wyoming 4. Montana 5. New Hampshire
    1
  609. 99% of Washington's problems are in the Seattle area and the rest of the state and even most of the Seattle area as well is great outside of cost of living, rain and wildfires because they get some of that but other than that it's one of the best states we have.
    1
  610. Guess of cities on this list before watching: 10. Hartford, Connecticut 9. Cleveland, Ohio 8. Atlanta, Georgia 7. Kansas City, Missouri 6. Oakland, California 5. Jackson, Mississippi 4. Baton Rouge, Louisiana 3. Baltimore, Maryland 2. Detroit, Michigan 1. Saint Louis, Missouri
    1
  611. Guess before watching: 10. Illinois 9. South Carolina 8. Alaska 7. Texas 6. Washington 5. Colorado 4. New York 3. Hawaii 2. Florida 1. California
    1
  612. Illinois is a bad state in my opinion but definitely not the worst
    1
  613. I live in Massachusetts and am in New Hampshire a lot and wasn’t expecting that. I was guessing maybe Oregon, Idaho or California but not New Hampshire! I am also surprised by Delaware because I don’t think of them as being especially known for alcohol.
    1
  614.  @austinflores8552  Woah you don't need to go that far. I thought you meant either most liberal or most conservative and that was before watching the video when I saw this comment. Don't swear at me or call me an idiot again or I will report it
    1
  615.  @CrystalClearWith8BE  Minnesota, Wisconsin, Nebraska and Iowa are definitely great choices. Just don't live in parts of the Minneapolis-Saint Paul area or Rochester, Milwaukee, maybe Green Bay, parts of Omaha and a few smaller cities in Nebraska, or parts of Des Moines, West Burlington or Council Bluffs and you should be fine.
    1
  616. Unfortunately the U.S. and Israel will probably be on this list
    1
  617. Lubbock is nothing compared to the other places on this list lol I guess that’s why it’s #10.
    1
  618. I saw that lol
    1
  619. This is how I would rank the larger cities in Ohio: 1. Columbus (good) 2. Akron (okay) 3. Cincinnati (bad) 4. Toledo (bad) 5. Dayton (bad) 6. Cleveland (very bad)
    1
  620. I know I just mean out of the ones that have an electoral vote

  621.  @stevedavenport1202  perfect 😂
    1
  622.  @montex66  And San Francisco is worse than Portland!
    1
  623.  @joebloe1401  I agree expect for Texas unless you mean the shape because that's kinda true lol
    1
  624. My top 10 for this list: 10. South Carolina 9. Iowa 8. Georgia 7. Maryland 6. Indiana 5. West Virginia 4. Utah 3. Virginia 2. North Carolina 1. Nebraska
    1
  625.  @sirwahwee8236  I can believe that
    1
  626.  @ojll3917  Or even rural Indiana or Fort Wayne or an Indianapolis suburb.
    1
  627. @Kathleen Castro I agree OK is not ok. Oklahoma is better than okay!
    1
  628.  @ginagina3271  1) Milwaukee isn't a state 2) Wisconsin is one of the best states we have. Milwaukee is bad but 90% of the rest of the state is nice.
    1
  629.  @douglasfreer  Texas is a great state. It's not perfect but overall it's one of the best states.
    1
  630. Guess before watching: 10. Washington 9. South Carolina 8. Nevada 7. Utah 6. Colorado 5. Arizona 4. Georgia 3. North Carolina 2. Florida 1. Texas
    1
  631. 6:20 As a person from Massachusetts, I am going to guess Rhode Island will be in the top 5, Massachusetts will be in the top 3 and Vermont will be #1
    1
  632. The more the better. Change my mind.
    1
  633. Haha no. West Warwick has some nice areas for sure but the areas near Downtown are very bad. It definitely doesn't deserve to be in the top 10 best places in Rhode Island let alone New England. It deserves to be in the top 10 worst places in Rhode Island if not top 5. Of course, if it was top 5 it would be fifth because Pawtucket, Central Falls, Providence and Woonsocket are way worse. That's not to say that Providence isn't a nice city at all but once you go south it has a lot of bad areas that take away from the quality.
    1
  634. Most of Alaska could be on this list
    1
  635.  @dthain  It's because they're not backwards. Also, they are very affordable and Colorado and Iowa are not red states.
    1
  636. I am guessing that Brazil and Venezuela will be on this list at least twice. I’m guessing also Bogota, Lima, Buenos Aires and Santiago.
    1
  637.  @AntonioCostaRealEstate  Not New Bedford or Hartford and it's Seekonk not Seeking but the rest of your list isn't bad except some are a bit expensive but not terrible. I would mention Carver, Mass.
    1
  638.  @gizzinhereye  No don't
    1
  639. I think Washington, New Hampshire and Delaware will be on this list
    1
  640. Thank you

  641. Yeah 7th worst
    1
  642. Same I'm from Massachusetts. I was offended when he said Hartford was in Massachusetts lol.
    1
  643. And gangs and poverty
    1
  644. Guess of counties on this list in no particular order: Fairfield County, Connecticut New York County, New York Lake County, Illinois Pitkin County, Colorado San Francisco County, California Santa Clara County, California Kauai County, Hawaii Fairfax County, Virginia Middlesex County, Massachusetts King County, Washington
    1
  645. I knew California would be 1st just based on population
    1
  646. It's also not a small city
    1
  647. Half of this list is California lol
    1
  648. I love their ice cream!

  649. This video is on worst towns in Colorado, not cities

  650.  @bliss3596  Oh ok

  651.  @noyopacific  I appreciate sarcasm it just sounded like it was in a rude way. And yeah I agree and I do my own research too out of interest.
    1
  652.  @dr.floridaman4805  Damn that sux. I knew about the cold because Minnesota in general is cold but I didn't know about the dirty river walk and the meth.
    1
  653.  @SuckMyJohnson  It depends on who you ask. Madison is a big city compared to Burlington, Cheyenne, Helena, Fairbanks and much more. It's small if you're comparing it to New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago and Houston.
    1
  654. Of course when Chicago isn’t on the list East Saint Louis and Rockford are
    1
  655. Just don’t go to Glacier National Park if you’re a 19 year old girl and you should be fine
    1
  656. I used to believe you were right about Toledo and then I heard that it’s an ugly city and that they have a very bad sex trafficking problem. Is that true?
    1
  657. why am I not surprised?
    1
  658.  @HonuFlight  Okay it's just annoying because I hear that all the time
    1
  659.  @thomasgrabkowski8283  Yeah and some of the suburbs and rural areas too
    1
  660. If anything that's a reason not to move there
    1
  661. Agreed but they are still useful
    1
  662. 7:30 Yeah at least it's not an F so that's not bad for New England in terms of affordabilty
    1
  663. Oregon is a liberal shithole Jk
    1
  664. It’s interesting to see a positive video about one of my least favorite states
    1
  665. @Basic Gmail I agree
    1
  666. Thank you for your videos you are one of my favorite youtubers
    1
  667. Thx

  668. Apart from extreme cold, long periods of light and darkness and isolation I didn't realize Nome was that bad

  669.  @donnaleeclubb119  I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not lol
    1
  670.  @realhousewifeoftransylvania1.0  They're good for most middle-class Americans. Washington State and the Rocky Mountains are expensive though, so they are best for the wealthy and upper middle class but they are very desirable places to live. The other places I mentioned are affordable for most Americans and great places to live.
    1
  671. @Manny Cracker You are delusional. I get my information from media sources from both the left and the right. It's good to get both sides and I'm not even a liberal I am an independent and side with the conservatives on a lot of issues. America has problems like every country but is a great country overall with tons of great places to live and if you can't see that you're unamerican. If you don't like it here than move and I bet you will want to move back.
    1
  672. Also Little Compton is one of my favorite small towns
    1
  673.  @masterm8816  Maybe for some people but I have been there a few times and I don't think it's too small especially if you're looking for a nice small town
    1
  674.  @thelastnic  Also Dallas, Fort Worth and El Paso are great as well as most of the rest of the state including some suburbs of Houston like The Woodlands and West University Place. I agree that the South has some problems and the people are very nice and friendly as well as the countryside as you mentioned. The Gulf Coast and Southern Appalachians are very nice as well. I agree that Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas and Louisiana are going through hard times but it's not the whole south. North Carolina and Georgia are nice and even South Carolina, Tennessee and Florida have some nice things going for them. Also Virginia is considered part of the South and is great.
    1
  675. ​ @molinodesign  None of those states are in the top 5 worst states except for Alabama. I can understand that. Mississippi and West Virginia were very bad a few years ago but remember they have gotten better and they have great natural scenery especially Mississippi. Kentucky has a lot of poverty and run down areas but just like Mississippi it has a lot of beautiful scenery as well. Tennessee is a decent state and it ranks best for fiscal stability.
    1
  676.  @AS-my3sw  I'm actually not a liberal so shut up dumbass
    1
  677. All of these are terrible but #5 is probably the worst
    1
  678. I expected my state to be #3. I was right.
    1
  679. I am guessing California and New Jersey will be the top 2
    1
  680. I was considering adding Florida too as well as Indiana and Missouri
    1
  681. @lucien angel which one lol
    1
  682. What town was it? Just curious or is it too personal?
    1
  683.  @alejandro.rodarte  I disagree you don't have to live in a city to have at least a good idea of what it's like
    1
  684.  @The_Bass_Stunters  I do a lot of research. I don't believe everything I read, I believe information that seems credible.

  686.  @salvadorluna9794  Safe that was just one incident get over it

  688. Lack of cops is part of the problem in some of these states
    1
  689. lol good one
    1
  690. 2:25 Seriously what reason do you have not to? If you can afford Portland you can afford Washington and you would be moving to an area that has a better quality of life.
    1
  691.  Stop Misandry and Gynocentrism  Not even close
    1
  692. That's because you're a liberal
    1
  693.  @ladiiblue2u634  Ok I just find it interesting that you mentioned all red states for what you expected and all blue states for what was actually in the video that you didn't expect
    1
  694.  @KW02712  I never suggested it wasn't? I have been to Lawrence and it's a dump. Springfield and Holyoke are worse though. There are many other places that are very bad like Fitchburg, Ware, Lynn, Chelsea, Dorchester, Roxbury, Mattapan, Gardner, Winchendon, Worcester and Chicopee.
    1
  695.  @seanobrien2306  I did say in no particular order to be fair. I definitely agree with Barstow being on this list, but the other towns I mentioned are some of the worst in the U.S. as well.
    1
  696. Good to know
    1
  697. Nope I don’t want to move to Florida. No one in a YouTube comments section can stop me from moving to a state, nice try!

  698. Just because I'm from Massachusetts doesn't mean I'm from a big city and doesn't mean I'm a Democrat so stop assuming. I'm actually from a small city and I'm not a Democrat and I won't drive up the housing costs.

  700. I agree all of these countries are terrible

  701. 1st

  702. I would put Idaho in the top 5 easily
    1
  703.  @WorldAccordingToBriggs  West Virginia is certainly about as red as you can get! Louisiana and Mississippi are solid red too, but Alaska is actually becoming bluer and only voted for Trump by 10% in 2020 and voted red by less than 15% in 2012 and 2016.
    1
  704. 5:53 Are you serious? I am from Massachusetts and it honestly offends me that you think that Boston is more insulting than Detroit. Boston is a great city with the best sports teams in the entire country, the best colleges in the entire country along with Cambridge, beautiful scenery and neighborhoods, tons of history, plenty of things to do, great food, and the best transportation system in the entire country.

  707. One time my grandparents took me and my cousin on a vacation in Maine and New Brunswick, Canada and Acadia National Park was one of the places we stopped
    1
  708. You’re half right
    1
  709.  Stop Misandry and Gynocentrism  More like Texas aka the Heart of America
    1
  710.  @cherihill2003  There are nice towns in states like Iowa, Nebraska, and pretty much any red state you can buy a decent home with less than $200,000. I suggest that you look into that. Also Mr. Briggs made a video about every state ranked from least to most expensive so I suggest you look into the less expensive states. I especially recommend Texas for you because it's right next to New Mexico and it's a great state with a low cost of living. There are a lot of nice, affordable towns in Texas and even the larger cities are great as well in most areas.
    1
  711. 10:10 Also Kentucky, West Virginia, Virginia and Southern Missouri are part of the South too.
    1
  712. I like how you simply went to places you can easily drive to but showed a tour of the areas and explained them.
    1
  713. New Mexico definitely needs to get a lot more law enforcement
    1
  714. Guess before watching: 10. Nevada 9. Georgia 8. Montana 7. Colorado 6. New Hampshire 5. Arizona 4. Utah 3. Florida 2. Texas 1. Idaho
    1
  715. I agree with a lot of this list but certainly not all of it. Wyoming should be in the top 3 with Colorado and Montana, because those are the most beautiful states in the country and I wouldn't mind living in any of them. They hardly have any problems at all except for maybe weather.

  730.  @rbart75  Which town did you live in just wondering? I think some of the best small towns in Connecticut are Woodstock, Colchester, Woodbury, Madison, Essex and my personal favorite Old Saybrook. For this list, I am considering towns with a population under 20K to be small towns.

  736. 1:44 Ok that makes more sense lol. The Panhandle is very beautiful which isn't surprising since it's close to Oklahoma which is the only decent state that Texas borders and because Texas is such a good state in general. Honestly besides Oklahoma, the rest of the states that Texas borders are very bad and parts of Mexico bordering Texas are bad but the thing that saves Texas is its size. I'm pretty sure that's why Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico and places like Nuevo Leon and Ciudad Juarez don't really bring down the quality of the state is because Texas is so big. Of course, it's also for many other reasons including but not limited to the great economy, great people, great cities, great history and the great sports teams.

  747. Vermont is the first thing that comes to mind when I think of green states. It’s not only green environmentally but also politically, which I personally am not a fan of but everyone has their own taste. However, apart from the politics, Vermont is a great state. It might be too quiet for you though.

  748. 8:37 Also Lake Tahoe. It has a portion of that too.
    1
  749.  @Yezar275  It's not a fact it's an opinion based on facts. Some of the worst cities in the country are in blue states as well: New Jersey- Camden, Paterson Delaware- Wilmington Maryland- Baltimore Michigan- Detroit, Flint Connecticut- Hartford, New Britain California- Oakland, Stockton, San Bernadino, Compton New York- Buffalo, Rochester, Niagara Falls Illinois- East Saint Louis Plus New Mexico is one of the worst states in the country with one of the worst poverty rates in the country as well as having high crime and drug problems I personally wouldn't want to live in Hawaii because of the extreme high cost of living, volcanic eruptions, and being isolated from everywhere else. Washington and Oregon are great though. I can also understand that states like Mississippi and Arkansas have a lot of problems. All im saying is that it's not fair to say that the states that happen to be conservative have problems are because they're conservative or to say that liberal states are way better than conservative states because it's about even. It's also not fair to call most red states bad when the majority of them are doing well if not ok. I don't have a problem with liberals or blue states im just saying that I disagree with your bias against most red states based on my own research and opinions on the states.

  750.  @Rommie26  I live in Massachusetts and I can relate apart from education because we have the best education system in the country but the cost of living and taxes here are very high too and we have the highest unemployment rate as well as some of the worst infrastructure in the country. We are ranked 44th for infrastructure and Rhode Island is 49th.

  754. During a lot of this list I was thinking of "Sweet Home Alabama" by Lynyrd Skynyrd and then you played free bird at the end. The interesting thing is that they weren't actually from Alabama. They were actually from Florida and San Francisco.

  769. The schools in Berlin are bad too. It’s a beautiful town and it’s exceptionally affordable, but it’s considered bad in terms of quality of life by New Hampshire standards. Of course bad for New Hampshire isn’t that bad, it’s still a nice town compared to a lot of places.

  784.  @donaldpotter3071  Those aren't especially nice towns but I'm sure they have nice areas. Here are some places in both states that are nicer: Disclaimer: I have been to most but not all of the towns mentioned in Maine and none of the towns in West Virginia. A lot of this information is from internet research. Maine: Cape Elizabeth (Expensive) Kennebunkport (Again expensive) Bar Harbor (Very expensive) Rockland Rockport (A bit expensive) Camden (Expensive) Eliot (Expensive) York (Expensive) Wells (A bit expensive) Ogunquit (A bit expensive) Kennebunk (Expensive) Scarborough (Expensive) Millinocket Gray (Pretty affordable) And much more! West Virginia: Charles Town (A bit expensive but not too bad) Harpers Ferry Berkeley Springs Hurricane Hinton (Some poverty but nothing terrible. Just don't move here if you're looking for a job.) New Martinsville (Same as Hinton) Wellsburg (Same as Hinton and New Martinsville and schools aren't the best but again not terrible) Weirton (Interestingly the only town in the U.S. that borders two different states on opposite sides) And of course there's more!

  787. 2:50 I am from Massachusetts and California is a swing state compared to here. A lot of people think that California is the most liberal state because of its reputation, but it's actually more mixed because it's so big. It's kind of like how some people think that Texas is very conservative and is full of gun-loving hardcore conservatives but it's not. It's mixed because of how large and populated it is. The most liberal states are Hawaii and Massachusetts in that order, although the northeast in general is the most liberal part of the country. The most conservative states are Mississippi and Oklahoma, and The South is generally the most conservative part of the country.

  788. You said #6 for #9

  789. I strongly disagree. I live about a 15 minute drive or T stop from Downtown Boston and Boston is a great city. Of course there are some very bad areas like Roxbury and Mattapan but that's true with every big city. Boston has very nice areas like the North End, Beacon Hill and the Back Bay and a lot of nice and fun things to do like the Museum of Science, Boston Common and Boston Public Garden, Fenway Park, The TD Garden, the New England Aquarium, Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market, The Paul Revere House, The Museum of Fine Arts, Newbury Street, Paul Revere Statue and the Freedom Trail (Boston is very historic). As I mentioned the North End, Beacon Hill and the Back Bay are great places to visit too and the rest of Downtown is very nice to walk around too. And that's just in Downtown alone. The USS Constitution, Castle Island, Jamaica Pond, the Franklin Park Zoo, The Boston Harbor Islands and the Arnold Arboretum are great places to visit outside of Downtown. Also the North End and East Boston are great for Italian food (in that order) which is my personal favorite type of food. We have a nice Chinatown area as well for Chinese food. In addition, if you are looking for a nice pleasant and quiet residential neighborhood West Roxbury is perfect for you (as long as you can afford it) and doesn't have the noise, congestion and traffic that the rest of Boston has and it feels like a quaint suburb. There are parts of Brighton, Jamaica Plain and Hyde Park like this as well. We also have the best sports teams in the country. We also have a lot of the best colleges in the country like Boston University, Northeastern, UMass Boston, Berklee College of Music, Simmons University, Boston Architectural College and Emerson College just in Boston alone. We also have some of the best hospitals in the country too like Tufts Medical Center, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston Children's Hospital, and Massachusetts General Hospital as well. I could go on for even longer about how great Boston is but I think this is a good place to stop since I already mentioned so much.

  790. I am guessing New Orleans, Houston, Beaumont, Corpus Christi, Galveston, Tampa, Virginia Beach, New York City, San Francisco and Honolulu

  791.  @Sandra-kv4vf  Thank you! There is good and bad in every state, but the states I mentioned seem to have a lot more problems than the rest of the country. In other words, they're states that I wouldn't advise most people to move to, but they still have some good things about them.

  807. That's not that bad. At least it's not like 50.
    1
  808. The #1 spot shouldn't surprise anyone
    1
  809. The only one out of this list (part 1) that seems plausible to me is #8. Most politicians aren't exactly trustworthy people, and Johnson especially wasn't exactly a good person or a good president. He was the opposite of Lincoln so this one doesn't seem that far fetched to me. With a lot of other conspiracy theories including the others on this video, I believe there are explanations for the irregulates that inspire the conspiracy theories, but it often isn't exactly what the conspiracy theorists believe. For example, #6 seems like they could be hiding something but it likely isn't the illuminati, aliens or people from another dimension. Area 51 is another similar example. I think they're hiding something but probably not aliens or the moon landing being faked.

  815. My top 10: 10. Wisconsin 9. Utah 8. Montana 7. Oregon 6. New Hampshire 5. Idaho 4. Texas 3. Wyoming 2. Colorado 1. Washington Honorable mentions: Maine (Very good state, definitely close to the top 10) Minnesota (It would be #10 if it wasn't for the murder of George Floyd and the more violent riots) Vermont (Very good state, close to the top 10) North Carolina (Very good but doesn't quite make the top 10) South Carolina (Good state with great people but has some problem areas) Tennessee (Good state but has high crime in some cities) Georgia (Good state except for the heat) Arizona (It's great besides it being too hot) Nebraska (Great state to live in, the limited amount of nice scenery and things to do is why it's not in the top 10) Iowa (Same as Nebraska but maybe not quite as good) South Dakota (Beautiful state but not as good as some others) Virginia (Great state but doesn't quite make the top 10) Pennsylvania (Good state but not one of my favorites)

  816. My guess of the top 3: Lowest: 3. New Hampshire 2. Alaska 1. Delaware Highest: 3. New Jersey 2. New York 1. California

  817. Virginia isn’t really a swing state anymore but it’s certainly not safe blue, just like how Ohio isn’t a swing state anymore but isn’t quite safe red.
    1
  818. That will be pretty hard. There aren't a lot of nice places in New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland but I guess it would have to include New York and Pennsylvania too because they aren't part of New England. So I guess with New York and Pennsylvania it won't be that hard. My guess for #1 would be Honesdale, Pennsylvania. Mr. Briggs absolutely adores that town and based on his reasons why I strongly agree with him. This would be my top 10 for the Mid-Atlantic if New York and Pennsylvania are included but to be fair I will include 2 for each state: 10. Bear, Delaware 9. Princeton, New Jersey 8. Port Chester, New York 7. Cape May, New Jersey 6. Fenwick Island, Delaware 5. Bel Air, Maryland 4. North East, Maryland 3. Hershey, Pennsylvania 2. Sag Harbor, New York 1. Honesdale, Pennsylvania

  823. That's because most of the "worst" towns on this list aren't actually the worst towns in Connecticut and even if they were their cities are way worse and make Florida look like North Carolina.

  834.  @inconnu4961  Well Lynn is much larger than Chelsea both in area and population so the worst parts of Lynn are probably worse than the worst parts of Chelsea, but the best parts of Lynn are much better than the best parts of Chelsea. I think Chelsea is worse overall.

  835. I have been to Seattle a bunch of times because I have family across Puget Sound in Port Orchard. I have been to a lot of the tourist spots including the Space Needle, Pike Place Market, the Gum Wall, original Starbucks, the Woodland Park Zoo, Safeco Field (which is now T-Mobile Park) and the Seattle Aquarium. I have not however been to the Museum of Flight as far as I remember at least. Thank you for the idea.
