How do I convince my mom to NOT move to Louisiana??

She currently lives in Colorado. Her reasoning for wanting to move to LA is
1. Cheap housing (its cheap for a reason!!)
2. Low cost of living
2. Good weather and humidity
3. Living by the ocean

Ive told her that Louisiana is ranked the absolute worst state for a reason. She lives with my aunt who is mentally and physically disabled and my little cousin who is gay. My little cousin HATES the idea and says shes scared to move there.

She says she'd rather live there than Oregon (where I live currently) or anywhere else because she can get a bigger house for her money. I just need some good reasoning from actual residents on why this logic falters and why people typically move away from LA, not to it. Thank you.

Edit: If you like LA, I am happy for you. I genuinely mean no disrespect towards anyone who lives there. But surely you can understand my concern with a mother who is getting old, an aunt who NEEDS good healthcare and social programs, and a cousin who is like a sister to me that hates the idea of moving. I live nowhere near Louisiana and we have no family there. My mother is 60. You don't know my family like I do. I don't mean any disrespect. There is so much more at play here than can be explained comfortably in a Reddit post.
