What would be the worst state/region in your country for you to live in? Why?

[galain]

I was just reading about Arkansas - no offense to anyone from there but it seemed a little bleak.....

As an Aussie, my personal pet hate back home is the nation's capital - Canberra. Overplanned, dull and full of public servants. I know lots of people love the place. I've been a few times and was always happy to leave.

[Thin Lizzy]

Any predominantly black inner-city. The state or region really doesn’t matter.

[IroNat]

If you have money any state can be good because you can live in the nice areas.

In the USA the deep south states are the poorest (Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana), but wealthy people do live there.

Fayetteville, Arkansas was the #4 best place to live in a U.S. News and World Report study. https://realestate.usnews.com/places/arkansas/fayetteville

I know a wealthy attorney from NY who has vacationed in Alabama for many years and loves it.  He has a second home there.

The advantage of these poor states is the cost of living is generally low so you can live very well if you have money.

Well it's build for beurocrats .............

Too many Roos hopping around ....... 

Relocate to Lightning Ridge,Mt. Isa,Silverton, Coober Peddy ,..................

I don't care for the northeastern part of the U.S. because of all the traffic and rude people.

Spent two nights in Boston a few years back. Found people either very loud but nice, or very hipster and completely arrogant holier than thou scum.

But the traffic. Even in South East Asia they drive better than they do in Boston. And fuck the Boston parking people - I got two tickets within 5 minutes of each other while I was off looking for change.

Before I decide to move into an area I check how many NPC and IFBB shows are held locally.

Malmö is pretty crap in general here in Sweden.

Areas around Gothenburg has turned to shit as well as the areas surrounding the innercity of Stockholm (where i live).


Not even Östersund (which was decent in the 80s) is safe from the influx of MENA.


Those are cities, if you ask region, then i'd have to say Southwestern Skåne.

Usually controlled by Dems for 100+ years

This is the hierarchy from the bottom up:

Blacks
Hispanics
White Trash (dumb uneducated whites that may as well be black or Hispanic)
Working class whites
Middle Class Whites
Monied Whites

Nonsense, one of the best and safest areas in the country!

Exactly correct. If you need high end food service in your life 24/7 or have to do big city work you might hate rural living - but a big property, small govt and friendly people are a big up.

Plus you can always drive an hour to that hip Thai-talian gastrobpub and the Tiffany store. 

[Schmoff]

anywhere with major populations of blacks and latinos

[DerrickRigg.bber]

Personally, I do like desert states.

Probably the worst is New Mexico.

[IRON CROSS]

yeah, nah...

you may get rich , tons of undiscovered opal in the ground

Humpty Doo in NT is interesting place too ............

[oldtimer1]

I wouldn't want to live anywhere in the country near a Martin Luther King boulevard. Christ Rock said in effect, if your car breaks down on Martin Luther King boulevard anywhere in the country at night don't even think about calling a tow truck. Just run.

Safe because nobody lives there?

True.  MLK Blvd is always the worst place in town.

Faark mate - Humpty Doo eh? I've heard of it - but it sounds like you've seen more of Oz than i have.

Right next to Malcolm X Avenue.
