Where you live is what you make it. I lived in Louisiana, BR and NOLA. There is no great state. No matter where you are. It's about you and what you make of it. I did well in LA but chose Texas. Go ahead haters.

In fairness, the rest of New England thinks New Hampshire is a shithole too.

I get that. I love going to NYC for a few days and working there on and off, but it's not really a place I'd want to live.

Anytime the South gets brought up on a place like Reddit (any of the major subs), 90% of the comments will be about how the south is filled with racist, inbred, backwards, dumb, fat, rednecks.


Are you suggesting they are wrong?

Not entirely wrong but many of them act like everyone in the south is like that. Also some (a small number though) truly believe the south is 3rd world. Such as very few paved roads, little to know technology, (race) wars happening, etc. My point was many non- southern Americans really don't like the south (some think it's the most backwards racist place in the world) despite the fact that some of them have never even been here.

Kind of like how everyone on here brands everyone in the northeast as a "liberal hippie douche"?

I can easily think of 15-20 states I would choose Alabama and Louisiana over. In most states, I would only live in 1 or 2 of the cities there.

No,they are assholes. I have never in my life heard anyone refer to anyone in the NE as a "hippie".

By every survey taken since the beginning of time they are much ruder on average than southerners.

Hence, "assholes"

Dunno where they have CA ranked, but it wasn't in the top ten. No surprise given their metrics. CA has a lot of crime and pollution and isn't exactly the healthiest state.

Congrats on missing the point entirely. And frankly, proving my point.

"Not all southerners are racists, ignorant, bigots, etc." but these stupid polls all generalize the area. (Which by the way I completely agree that generalizing an entire area of the country is wrong)

And then you respond with an explanation of why there is empirical proof that northeasterners are assholes.

9 out of 10 states on this list went Trump's way in 2016.

Fake news.
