re: What state would you least want to live in?

There's more to choosing a place to live than the scenery; three reasons I would not want to live in Vermont:
-Their "Fair Share" Law forces non-union employees to pay union dues.
-They have among the highest corporate, individual, and property taxes in the nation.
-Self-described SOcialist Bernie Sanders was elected with 71% of the vote. Imagine living, working, and dealing with these loons on a daily basis.
Some people may say political differences should not be a reason to live or not live in a state but it's more than that- sure they have great landmarks and scenery, which is great because taking in the sights is free and you won't have a great deal of money left to spend on other entertainment once their taxes have ravaged your check. I simply would not be able to live in a state where nearly 75% of the population consists of liberal sheep.

Wisconsin, in general, sort of sucks outside of Madison. Milwaukee is getting better and they have a redevelopment plan in motion that will make it much nicer.
Minnesota also isn't very good outside of Minneapolis. Rochester is OK, but it's just an epicenter of medicine in the middle of nowhere, though the city itself is built up pretty nicely.
Was just in LaCrosse last weekend. Beautiful area. It's a bit of a rough river town. I understand there is some crime, but there are also something like 42 bars in the downtown area alone. Good times. The people I have talked to that have lived there think it's a pretty great place. The St.Croix Valley border area between MN and WI is nice place, Hudson on the WI side and Stillwater on the MN side, both cool towns (suburbs of MSP).
Minnesota has a lot of nice places. I don't think I would want to live in southern MN, if I wanted that lifestyle I'd just live in Iowa. The Duluth area is cool, the Detroit Lakes area in the NW is nice, Bemidji and Brainerd area are nice too. Lake of the Woods, the Boundary Waters, there are alot of great things in Minnesota.

You sound like a blast.
You do know that Vermont is among the top states in the country for education? Let me guess...they are all liberal 'sheep?'

I've lived in a few different places.
Because of Chicago, I won't put Illinois on my list. I know some have mixed feelings about it, but there is so much to do and I love the area I currently live in.
Because of Madison, I won't put Wisconsin on my list. If I moved back, that is the only city I would move to. It's a capital city situated on an isthmus between two lakes.
Because of Minneapolis, I won't put Minnesota on my list. Weather sucks November through February (and even into March), but it is one of the cleanest cities I've ever been to and there is ample amount to do.
Because of Burlington and its setting (+ the beer), I won't put Vermont on my list.
Because of Tempe/Scottsdale, I won't put Arizona on my list. I really like the proximity of everything in the Phoenix Metropolitan Area.
I've been to almost every state, but the aforementioned four places are the only states I've lived and I love(d) them all.
I don't think I would like to live in Mississippi, Alabama, or Louisiana when it comes to the Southeast.
In the Northeast, I wouldn't like to live in Maine.
In the Mid-Atlantic region, you can take West Virginia out of the equation for me. Driving from Pittsburgh International Airport into West Virginia towards Morgantown was pretty depressing.
In the midwest, I don't think I would want to live in either of the Dakotas, Nebraska, or Iowa.
In the Southwest, I don't think I could see myself living in Nevada or New Mexico.
In the Northwest, I wouldn't like to live in Wyoming.

If you like Madison you would like Iowa City, Cedar Rapids, or Des Moines.

now that I really think about it, I don't think i could live in Hawaii either
Posted on 2/20/15 at 11:22 am to SoDakHawk
Been to Iowa City. Wasn't a huge fan.
Can't say anything about Cedar Rapids, but have heard that Des Moines is up and coming, especially with techies and startups.

good question.
If I was making like millions, I'd probably rather live in La than Hawaii
but if I were homeless, I'd rather sleep on the beach

It's a nice place to visit, but you're literally trapped on an island and cannot go anywhere. I did some time there in the Navy and could not wait to get out of there. Not to mention that the "native Hawaiians" are some of the nastiest people you'll ever come across, and they do not like haoles.

I dated a girl a few years back who lived in Hawaii for 3 years and she said the locals(namely the men) got extemely defensive and violent if mainlanders hit on "their" women
