GREAT LIST! Every progressive looking to leave CA, IL, and NY should absolutely let this drive their decision.

Lol ok.

Moved to Nashville in 96 after living in baton rouge, new Orleans and Houston and it's still the best decision of my life.

Outside of Memphis this state is perfect.

The funny thing is that some of the characteristics these woke institutions perceive as a negative are why some people move there

Every town in the middle column is growing and I imagine most in the left column are as well. The crime rates in Appalchia can be shocking at times. Meth, heroin and pills have done a # on those mountain population centers the last 30 years.

Wouldn't being last on a list of worst states make you the best?

CNBC survey makers are retarded. Louisiana and Mississippi are clearly 49A and 49B on the worst states in America and it’s not even close.



CNBC Top 50 States for Business

Louisiana and Mississippi were at the bottom of most metrics including economy, infrastructure, and education.
North Carolina, Texas, and Florida scored fairly high in most metrics.

Oddly then, North Carolina, Texas, and Florida scored high on many metrics. Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Alabama were always near the bottom.

If CNBC says this, then it actually may be one of the best. I love it here.

Inclusiveness is why they have a high crime rate.

I think if you remove Memphis, TN would be a top 5 state to live in.
