Louisiana born and raised. No bitching from me. Love it here.
Same. We have too many people here anyway, let these people leave. Fill up Texas and continue their crying.

Surveyed a bunch of Yankees for that list.

There is a certain attitude here with everything you do where the person providing the service is acting like they are doing you a favor.
This is a big reason I left after school - the day to day mundane parts of life in Louisiana are a miserable slog to get through:
- DMV fricked up my car title, gotta go fight with Shaniqua who tells me to go the Express DMV but they’re closed randomly on a Tuesday
- get the car serviced, but Mike Boudreaux the retard mechanic inexplicably forgot to tell me it was done and had been parked offsite, so I sat at the dealership for 3 unnecessary hours
- go grocery shopping, the self checkouts don’t work, so now I get the pleasure of dealing with Astrid the gender fluid cashier who acts like I have inconvenienced his/her entire existence by purchasing bread and bologna. Passive aggressive exchange of money for goods and services takes 15 minutes longer than needed
- sit in Baton Rouge traffic, rattle my way home over 17 potholes
- finally 5 PM and lo and behold, Entergy had another power outage and can’t reliably tell us when it will be restored
Maybe some people are more resilient or DGAF, but once you live that day on repeat for 5,10,15 years, it eventually wears you down. Once you move to a place where the simple things just FUNCTION, you realize how fricked up Louisiana is - no amount of crawfish or LSU championships or Mardi Gras parades offsets this for me.
Great place to visit, terrible place to actually live.

I spent years 3-18 in Shreveport, but now have spent the last 12 years as. Utah resident.
I miss all kinds of thing about the south and Louisiana… but cool summer evenings are unbeatable… and until last year I had never been bitten by a mosquito (big snow year and wet spring).

Bottom 10 is laughable. Not wasting the time to open the link and read it. The metrics used are not the same metrics I’d use.
This “bottom 10” has multiple states that offer some of the best recreational outdoor activities. Apparently that doesn’t matter here.

A lot of Southern states are dragged down by their lowest quality citizens, but if you are in the top 20% in one of those states, you likely have a nice life and a much more affordable COL in most cases. I'd rather live in certain parts of Arkansas (#47) than anywhere in Minnesota (#4).

Same, but thats only because of the weather! Too cold up north!

This is true. I’d rather live in the nice parts of the following “bottom 10 states” than about 35 other states.
New Mexico - North Mts
South Carolina - upstate mts or coast
Oklahoma - Eastern Mts
Alabama - North Mts or coast
Arkansas - northwest Mts
Mississippi - Coast
