  1. Sounds like he made the most of his life, which is what matters. RIP.

  2. Joe G - I agree. But it’s his list and his opinion.

  3. Ohio’s winters are not that bad.

  4. Briggs, at about 12:20, you said Guayaquil has temperatures “in the low thirties at night.” That is highly doubtful, given that Guayaquil is near sea level and is very near the equator. I have also read that they have a significant dry season where for a few months they get almost no rain at all. (I’m sure it is low thirties - Celsius - or about 90 Fahrenheit on most days.) Also, Guayaquil is in southwest Ecuador and is not near the Colombia border, so I doubt they would have a national park that extends to that border. If they do, what is the park’s name?

  5. Fairbanks, with about 40,000 people, is not a major city. Anchorage, at about 300,000 people, really isn’t, either. Edmonton has about 800,000 people.

  6. Some boomers have no wish to move to Florida. And my strategy for a hopefully long life is being a skilled procrastinator. 😎

  7. The city I thought would be on this list was Dayton, OH. They probably were close to being here.

  8. You think Oregon is crowded? Try almost any state east of the Mississippi. Especially New Jersey. Also, most eastern states get more than 35” of rain annually, albeit with fewer cloudy days.

  9. San Francisco is 17th, with about 873K people, which is more than I thought it would have.
    2
  10. Madison, Wisconsin.
    2
  11. Oregon? I know it’s been in the news in some bad ways, but I think TX, NY, OH, AL, or WV would have been better choices.

  12. marisol perez - Some of the same reasons as Massachusetts: Expensive, high taxes, crappy weather, Dunkin Donuts. Additionally, the Lyme Disease capitol of the world. The epicenter of the Red Sox / Yankees ad nauseam rivalry. 🙄 I think Connecticut has the country’s worst air quality.

  13. justin daniels - I have heard that a couple of times but not exactly sure where. It stands to reason though. It is one of the most densely populated states, most people get around using cars, and we are downwind from New York City.

  14. The geographical center of the 50 States is near Belle Fourche, South Dakota. If you travel from there to anywhere in Alaska, the shortest possible trip is by going west. The westernmost part of the US is near Attu Island, in spite of its 172°E longitude. Alaska is the westernmost state, and Maine is the easternmost.

  15. “Houston, you’ve got a problem!”

  16. Toledo has a team called the Mud Hens.

  17. Coco Taveras - Connecticut has the Hartford Yard Goats; they also have the Connecticut Tigers who are based out of Norwich.

  18. Ireland is a small country with only about five million people, maybe less. All of the countries on Briggs’ list are more populous than Ireland. I think its cloudy and chilly climate would also dissuade a lot of people, but it’s a place I’d like to visit.

  19. He only insulted the people who keep making stupid political comments, although his videos are not all that political. Best/worst places to retire is a topic I should be able to look at without reading everyone’s f**ked-up political commentary.

  20. If money were not a concern, the central California coast. Somewhere between San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara. Since money obviously is a concern, I’m looking into moving back to Ohio or somewhere in the Midwest. Or I might just stay in Connecticut where I won’t have to pay moving costs!

  21. 666th. 😈

  22. I think Atlanta has nicer weather than New York, although I don’t care for either place during the summer. But San Diego has the best weather in the US.

  23.  @nv_spartan1771  - it looks like he overlooked it, along with Kansas and Ohio.
    2
  24. Are any states going to have ten rural places that are worthwhile? (I figure if there are, it will be Texas.)
    2
  25. I suspect Utah will rank high, but that remains to be seen.
    2
  26. Go to any state that is controlled by Republicans and you will find yourself surrounded by poverty.
    2
  27. Maybe you should learn the meaning of the word “communist” before you use it as an insult to whomever you don’t like. 🙄

  28. Well he must be a hell of a lot smarter than you, then.
    2
  29. Tell me you’re a bigot without telling me you’re a bigot. 😑

  30. It was actually 1900.

  31.  @dgrGR61  - it is a unique area, and I say that in a good way. There are many Great Lakes states, but Michigan is the Great Lakes State. But look at the terrain, especially in the Lower Peninsula. It’s totally flat! So it’s definitely a Midwestern state too.

  32. This video isn’t about Alaska. 😏 And make no mistake, the biggest magnitude earthquake in US history was the 1964 quake that hit Alaska and measured 9.2.

  33.  @YeeSoest  - I guess we will never know as we weren’t there. 🙂

  34. I wasn’t expecting it, but I would not have been surprised to have seen Ohio on this list.

  35. What does this have to do with Newark, New Jersey?
    2
  36. They got friendlier since his prior video. 😅

  37. His video on Texas would take a week!

  38. The US is getting less religious. Give it 20 years, and Seattle, Portland, and San Francisco will have a nonreligious majority. They will join Vancouver in that regard; currently their irreligious population is at 55.8%.

  39. I go to a mall about once every couple of months. I used to go several times a week. Unfortunately, at least one of the malls near me (Meriden Mall in Connecticut) is dying, with their anchor stores gone and about three fourths of their stores closed. It’s sad to see.

  40. I think it’s just to preserve the feel of the Klondike Days.

  41.  @CoolPapaJMagik  - Atheism is not a religion. And its opposite, theism, is not a religion either. Theism might be a core belief of most religions though.
    2
  42.  @CoolPapaJMagik  - And I think it’s silly that something so vast as Earth, or even more impossible, the entire universe, even could be created.
    2
  43. California or New Jersey?
    2
  44. Was the scene at 5:00 taken in Michigan? The pedestrian sign does not look like one you’d see in North America.

  45.  @jamesberenzy3553  - And he’s still more qualified for the Presidency than Donald Trump.
    2
  46.  @jamesberenzy3553  - A little too late to argue about it, anyways. The election was six months ago; that was the time to argue.
    2
  47.  @jamesberenzy3553  - Trump is the worst president in the history of this country. That is my opinion. Biden could only be an improvement. I will end this discussion now, before I forget that we are supposed to “be nice to each other.” Have a nice day.

  48. Specifically, Detroit. 😆

  49. There are 15 countries that used to comprise the USSR, and only three (Estonia, Latvia, and Azerbaijan) were on this list, and they are all small countries.

  50. Follow-up to my own comment. First, Illinois has gained population every census from the Civil War to 2010, although in either the 1970s or the 1980s, the increase was 0.0%, but the state population did increase very slightly. That probably won’t be the case for the 2020 census, as the state population dropped by 1.2% from 2010 to 2019, an absolute drop of around 159,000 people. Chicago’s population has dropped too, but by only 0.1%, an absolute drop of about 2,000 people. This seems to have debunked Briggs’ statement that 90% of the state’s population loss stemmed from Chicago alone.
