US News & World Report ranks Louisiana as the worst state in the country to live in.

Obtaining an award like this takes decades and decades of neglect & mismanagement by leadership not to mention stunning levels of corruption.

Looking at the breakdown and it's not really even close how bad LA is compared to other places.

US News & World Report has obviously never enjoyed the view of injury attorney billboards while fishing in the oil polluted waters of the Tangipahoa river after sitting in traffic for 2 hours.

Probably doesn't help matters when the crown jewel city in your state is a completely bankrupt dilapidated war zone.

I've been to most other states. I would live here over

Nebraska
Kansas
North Dakota
Wisconsin
Mississippi
West Virginia
Nevada

That's all. Every other state is better. But I'll take our crime over being really bored and or cold.

They should probably just rank the states by demographic info and they would be similar.

Man. These rankings are stupid. Empirically, if you've got a little cash this is a great state to live in. I've lived on the east coast and west coast in major (highly rated) cities. I've been here 30 plus years and nowhere else I'd rather live.

Youre more than welcome to enjoy living in Oakland, but you still choose LA.

I wasn’t going to comment on this but since there have been sirens for an hour straight on my side of BR, I can’t help but agree

Native villages here (Socialism in action) are a reason why.

If you ever want to know if Socialism will ever truly work, look no further than Western Alaska or the NW Arctic.

These are always bullshite because if things like this.

quote:

The state has a population of 4,597,740, 34.5% of which are college educated, according to


A lot of college grads leave the state and black men notoriously don’t go to college.

The top 5 states aren’t bastions of diversity.

Even your Catholic archdiocese is bankrupt, while the Catholic church as a whole is wealthy. That is fricked up.
