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.

One of the many great things about our country is that no U.S. state is all bad. Mississippi at least has very affordable housing, beautiful scenery, great people and nice places to live like Tupelo and Petal. California has the best variety of scenery and some of the best scenery out of any state, one of the largest economies in the world, and plenty of things to do. New York has some great scenery and nice areas too especially in Upstate New York. New Jersey has some very nice areas too, great schools and a good economy. Delaware is one of the most tax friendly states. Louisiana has great food, beautiful scenery, wildlife, good music and New Orleans. Alabama has a lot of interesting history, great people, a low cost of living, beautiful scenery and some very nice areas as well.

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

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.

@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.

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.

@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.

@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.

@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.

@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.

@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.

@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.

@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.

@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

@Toastmaster_5000 I live just north of Boston near the North Shore and parts of it are very nice. Generally wealthier areas are nice. 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.

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

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.

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.

It’s not just North Korea though- Iran, Iraq, Syria, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Belarus, China, Russia, Cuba, Venezuela and Myanmar are some other countries that treat their people and for a lot of them other groups of people terribly! Australia has done some pretty bad things lately, but nowhere near as bad as North Korea and the other countries I mentioned. At least Australia still has basic rights like freedom of speech and you can speak out against the government without getting imprisoned or killed.Same with America which is where I’m from, we are going through some hard times right now but we are still lucky to live where we do and we are not even comparable to North Korea, China, Iran, etc.

This list is incomplete without St. Louis. Houston should be replaced with St. Louis and St. Louis should be #1 on the list. Also Chicago has some very bad hoods but it still has a lot of good things going for it. Same with New York City, Los Angeles and Washington, DC. I understand this is covering the hoods in these cities but Chicago doesn’t deserve the top spot because it has so much going for it. It has a great downtown and some of the best suburbs in the country. I don’t know for a fact but I bet it has some very nice neighborhoods in the north too.
This would be my ranking of the worst cities in America based on my own research although to be fair I haven’t been to most of them:
10. Oakland, California
9. Atlanta, Georgia
8. Baton Rouge, Louisiana
7. Jackson, Mississippi
6. Memphis, Tennessee
5. Camden, New Jersey
4. Baltimore, Maryland
3. Detroit, Michigan
2. East Saint Louis, Illinois
1. Saint Louis, Missouri
Dishonorable Mentions:
Cleveland, Ohio (Doesn’t quite make my list because it at least has very nice areas)
Washington, D.C.
New York City
Gary, Indiana
Compton, California
San Bernardino, California
Los Angeles, California
Inglewood, California
Stockton, California
Newark, New Jersey
Paterson, New Jersey
Buffalo, New York
Rochester, New York
Springfield, Massachusetts
Hartford, Connecticut
Rockford, Illinois
Flint, Michigan
Saginaw, Michigan
Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Rochester, Minnesota
Minneapolis, Minnesota
Kansas City, Missouri
Miami, Florida
Wilmington, Delaware
Atlantic City, New Jersey
New Britain, Connecticut
New Haven, Connecticut
Niagara Falls, New York
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Elkhart, Indiana

@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.

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.

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
