I have been to over 30 states and to tell you the truth, I could be OK living in any one of them. Life anywhere is as good as you care to make it.In spite of everything I love it here in LA. But I really like West Virginia too. Every state has issues but really none of them are really bad. I m a liberal but I get along fine with Texans too.Maybe FLorida I would avoid because the humidity is way too much.
Oklahoma has a lot of racists, not as bad as 40 years ago though, but a strong southern culture. The best state was Missouri, the people in the northern part were genteel and hospitable.
Worst- Alabama and Texas. Best- Michigan and New York.
