I’m aware that, at the moment, Florida is deemed unsafe for people to travel to, but what is generally the worst state to live in? Factors such as education, religious extremism, crime, cost of food, healthcare, and access to other resources are relevant. Will “Deep South” states remain one of the worst places to live in due to traditionalism, or are more progressive states bound to grow worse?

    As someone who has lived in 4 (forgot Rhode Island) 5 different states, and two very different areas of California, the worst by my metrics was Hawaii.

    Yes, it has lovely weather, yes, it is a great place to visit… That does not make it a lovely place to live. Once you’ve done all the touristy things, you have to deal with the day to day. Prices are just higher for everything. It all has to come from somewhere, and it’s in the middle of the ocean.

        Roaches are one thing. The large centipedes are something else entirely.

      I went to jr highschool in Hilo. Coming from Northern California it was a bit of a culture shock. The pigeon, the fact thay I was a haolie… Definitely not easy. I’ve spent time on a couple of the islands, including molakai and unless you want your life to be that island life, I wouldn’t recommend it.
