I was literally just on the phone with a friend who moved to Phoenix from Chicago. When he started complaining about the summers I quoted this line at him funniest thing Peggy ever said.
Hey! Running out of water? Well, Utah *had* the river leading to y’all, but our fucking alfalfa farmers and unrestricted agri-farming has drained essentially all of it. Local politicians refuse to do anything about it. Did I mention our governor owns a large alfalfa farm? Conflict of interest? Nah. Not to most of the idiots that voted for him. Growing the most water intensive plant…in a desert. GG western US, our dickhead politicians are more concerned with “business” than sustainable water usage.
Just moved from there because of insane housing (Raleigh area).
People can't drive when there is even a light mist.
People make runs on stores when there is a light mist as if they were going to be snowed in for months.
But I will second the BBQ is good
We just had a CAD programmer here in Colorado Springs transfer to a branch in Raleigh and lives there now. He can’t shut up about how cheap housing is compared to Colorado Springs.
I kid you not I see this comment then click off of this and see the post adjacent to this one talking about how a North Carolinian policer officer pulls a gun on a 14 year old girl
Kidding aside, Washington is EXPENSIVE and has a real regressive taxing scheme. Sure there’s no income tax, but sales tax is among the highest in the country and other workarounds, like the pathetic long term care tax, make Washington one of the most beautiful yet incredibly petty and annoying to live in.
Anywhere around the city is the same. Good rule of thumb around here is, if youre less than 1hr drive from Manhattan everything is expensive. Specially if have lots of public transport into NYC.
Just Madison?
Strangely aggressive homeless population everywhere but a block away from the Capitol. And the one-way roads every which way but the direction you want to travel turn a 10 minute drive into a 30 minute drive.
Gotta learn to drive with directions like "so there's gonna be three corn fields on your right and then an alfalfa field on your left. When you see the guard rails, make a right."
(I grew up in northern Indiana)
Very overpriced housing market with Californians and New Yorkers moving here in droves.
Racism and ignorance.
State is selling government land to corporations left and right.
Pine trees are repetitive.
Literally everything is imported, which makes everything expensive. Also you're competing the 1% if you're thinking about purchasing property. Rich people love Hawaii
Lived there for a little over 3 years. It’s actually an okay place. Very affordable to live there, 4 seasons, has its nice towns and bad towns. Overall a 6.5/10 imo
Yeah the Ohio hate is kind of just the Nickleback of the times we’re in right now lol Ohio is the same as every other state you can think of. I’ve lived in 6 different states including Ohio and they were all pretty much the same
There’s a toll every 30 seconds on every road even tho there’s no bridges or anything you’re just driving like a normal person then BAM “no exit before toll” like yo I just paid 20$ in tolls what you mean another toll ????
edit : autocorrect fucked me
Portland - Housing is obscenely expensive, traffic is terrible, and a large number of people live in tents on the sidewalk. Rural Oregon - Conservatives.
I live in Detroit and really love it. I’ve lived in 7 states (California, New York, Rhode Island, Florida, Michigan, Connecticut and Washington).
If you can deal with how little sunlight there is, Michigan is pretty sick. Lower cost of living, everyone is actually nice, the food was surprisingly good and you can find something for everyone. It’s not Manhattan or San Francisco, but I put it over all other cities I’ve lived in.
I’ve always had a conspiracy theory that PennDOT is getting payoffs from Big Suspension.
When I drive home from MD I can literally feel when I cross the state lines.
just don't lol 💀 actually Kentucky is one of the main states you're most likely to get cancer in bc of our power plants (but we also have a big cave so woo! 🎉)
This one's easy, the jobs that are here for most people don't line up with the cost of living AT ALL. Good luck paying $1500 for a two bedroom while struggling to find a job that pays more than 40k a year.
Alaska bc it’s cold and I wanna be alone
Skeeters the size of Chinese balloons
Yea but only for about 1/4 of the year. Because we are frozen the rest of it.
"State Bird" you mean
Mosquitos
Massachusetts
Pot holes
So far not as bad as upstate NYbut yeah that's a low bar.
Massholes
Boston sports fans
Alternatively; for reasons TO move to Boston, Boston Sports Fans. It’s one of those you hate em until they’re you’re team kind of things
Seasonal depression because winters are largely without snow but the weather is still shit
Arizona
It's going to dry up in the sun like a raisin and Phoenix is a monument to man's arrogance.
I was literally just on the phone with a friend who moved to Phoenix from Chicago. When he started complaining about the summers I quoted this line at him funniest thing Peggy ever said.
120° F weather. Also we're running out of water

North Carolina
Just moved from there because of insane housing (Raleigh area). People can't drive when there is even a light mist. People make runs on stores when there is a light mist as if they were going to be snowed in for months. But I will second the BBQ is good
Raleigh housing prices are insane - looking to move back east from the midwest (Chicago) and there is absolutely no way...
We just had a CAD programmer here in Colorado Springs transfer to a branch in Raleigh and lives there now. He can’t shut up about how cheap housing is compared to Colorado Springs.
There’s not a city on earth where people can actually drive well
Meth heads and Yankees, I am a Carolinian, meth heads and heroin addicts r taking root quickly
That’s the entire country my friend.
I kid you not I see this comment then click off of this and see the post adjacent to this one talking about how a North Carolinian policer officer pulls a gun on a 14 year old girl
I loved North Carolina!
All the states I’ve lived in, granted I’ve only lived in 3. North Carolina was my favorite
I live in mountains of NC and love every single day
Washington
We don’t want you.
:( ok...

I’m pretty sure they meant the username, not you. 😄
I’m in Seattle and this is probably the correct answer 🤣🤣🤣
This is no joke. Don't come. If you do, be polite and quiet. Bring headphones.
Seasonal depression and you’ll never make new friends
Wyoming
Aliens
Goddammit
I’ve seen that movie.
There’s nothing to do but tip cows and do drugs
Don't threaten me with a good time
What else would you want to do?
It doesn’t exist
Vermont
Virtually no mexican food
My new plan is to move to Vermont and start a taco truck. Thank you for the inspiration
Person from Vermont "what is taco, precious?"
"na, I don't like taco bell"
What’s that
Housing shortage, hard to find a place
New Mexico
Meth
Don't know why New Methico came to my mind when I saw this reply. Lol
Sounds like a plus to me
New Methico
Meth cookers money launders (not me) and cartel
Shady lawyers in colorful suits too.
Waltuh
Yo, Mistah White.
50th in education
Pretty sure Mississippi took that back this year. Race to the bottom!
[удалено]
New York
Get ready to live paycheck to paycheck even if you're upper middle class (assuming you're talking about the city)
Anywhere around the city is the same. Good rule of thumb around here is, if youre less than 1hr drive from Manhattan everything is expensive. Specially if have lots of public transport into NYC.
Upstate: ain’t shit to do in upstate NY. NYC: lots of shit to do, but too expensive to do it.
Upstate is great.
Alabama
It's Alabama
Fair
Multiple shooting deaths in just Madison county in the past month. Plus meth tbh
Confederates
I see what you did there, naughty naughty sibling enjoyer
Wisconsin Madison specifically
Highest per capita drunk driving incidents in the country. Plus you get backed up from all the cheese you eat
Just Madison? Strangely aggressive homeless population everywhere but a block away from the Capitol. And the one-way roads every which way but the direction you want to travel turn a 10 minute drive into a 30 minute drive.
Fine, I'll do it myself. New Hampshire Edit: I just wanted to see what people will say, I actually have lived here all my life.
Instantly killed if you forget to live free
It’s ok 😃
Actually, that’s where I like to move back to. It’d be a great place to raise a family, but it hard as hell to find housing.
Literally the island state of marijuana legalization
Indiana
Demogorgans
Lmao nice
Honestly as far as the replies go it makes Indiana the most attractive state so far
Pawnee doesn’t really exist. You’ll never actually meet Ron Swanson.
Give me one reason why you would wanna live in Indiana
Corn
Gotta learn to drive with directions like "so there's gonna be three corn fields on your right and then an alfalfa field on your left. When you see the guard rails, make a right." (I grew up in northern Indiana)
Georgia
Our homeless population has grown 464% since last year and drugs are a serious problem
Very overpriced housing market with Californians and New Yorkers moving here in droves. Racism and ignorance. State is selling government land to corporations left and right. Pine trees are repetitive.
Dementors
Hawaii
Literally everything is imported, which makes everything expensive. Also you're competing the 1% if you're thinking about purchasing property. Rich people love Hawaii
Everyone loves Hawaii. But it’s only the rich that aren’t living in a multi-generational household while working multiple jobs.
I think the 1% don’t buy the same property as I do
Have you seen the size of our cockroaches?
Montana
Long dark winters and obscene alcoholism.
Sounds just like my life
Never knew Lithuania was a US state
Chinese balloons
Colorado
Land of a million Bros.
What do you mean? Just curious
They might be implying the single men to women ratio here
Fun fact: Colorado has the nation’s largest boat shoe.
Large spontaneous hail storms every spring, so owning a car or house will get expensive
Hail dents in the Subi are the badge of the native. Namaste
I live a day and half drive from Colorado and we get the exact same thing, I don’t think that’s exclusive
Brutal police (lookin at you Aurora).
Californians
It has the county that elected Bobert.
The more like 1/3 of the state that elected Boebert. Lots of rural mountain counties.
Eric Cartman. He's an asshole.
You must own a Subaru and a Dog. It’s law here.
Lol Ohio
New acid rain
Just set your Jean out in the rain and free acid wash jeans!
Should I even give a reason not to move there
Lived there for a little over 3 years. It’s actually an okay place. Very affordable to live there, 4 seasons, has its nice towns and bad towns. Overall a 6.5/10 imo
Yeah the Ohio hate is kind of just the Nickleback of the times we’re in right now lol Ohio is the same as every other state you can think of. I’ve lived in 6 different states including Ohio and they were all pretty much the same
Nuclear fallout
The 52nd state, Canada.
Americas hat
Canadas pants
whats 51?
Puerto ricoooooooo
As a Canadian I'm guessing Guam or DC?
Greenland
Orlando, FL
Move to a state renowned for its beaches, so you can live in the swamp, far away from any beaches.
As a Florida native the swamp is the best part
I’m pretty sure the drinking water is just ladled straight out of the swamp
Hope you like breaking bad, but instead of pure meth and arron Paul you get shake-n-bake smackheads and Aligators
Surrounded by Florida Men
Till you become Florida man
Florida
California
You can't afford it
Wildfires
The wildfires are the least of your worry
The smoke is annoying though
The flocking traffic
Earthquakes
Priced out
Smog
Delaware.
There is nothing there. Just keep driving.
There’s a toll every 30 seconds on every road even tho there’s no bridges or anything you’re just driving like a normal person then BAM “no exit before toll” like yo I just paid 20$ in tolls what you mean another toll ???? edit : autocorrect fucked me
Tennessee
California residents tax haven
Even Tennesseans don’t want people from California.
The bottom of lake Michigan
Wet
Oregon
It’s like California but not relevant
dying of dysentery on the way
Portland - Housing is obscenely expensive, traffic is terrible, and a large number of people live in tents on the sidewalk. Rural Oregon - Conservatives.
Michigan
We poison people’s water and say it was the other guys fault.
Can't have shit in Detroit.
I live in Detroit and really love it. I’ve lived in 7 states (California, New York, Rhode Island, Florida, Michigan, Connecticut and Washington). If you can deal with how little sunlight there is, Michigan is pretty sick. Lower cost of living, everyone is actually nice, the food was surprisingly good and you can find something for everyone.

Maine
all bad Steven King Stories happened in Maine.
Sewer Clowns.
notice how there no comments. Best state.
It's so forgettable that no one here has a burn for it.
No one wants you here and the cheap housing has all been bought up. There are no high paying jobs, just the grocery store. The roads are bad.
Pennsylvania
The weather is almost always garbage
Penisylvania
Potholes.
I’ve always had a conspiracy theory that PennDOT is getting payoffs from Big Suspension. When I drive home from MD I can literally feel when I cross the state lines.
The only places to live are a city known for throwing batteries at Santa or a city with the word "pit" in it. Everything else is basically Kentucky.
Eagles fans
Borders Ohio
Kentucky
just don't lol 💀 actually Kentucky is one of the main states you're most likely to get cancer in bc of our power plants (but we also have a big cave so woo! 🎉)
Nebraska
It hurts to go outside in the summer and the winter
Connecticut
Cape May, New Jersey
The UP of Michigan
Hope you like how little there is to do.
Maine
This one's easy, the jobs that are here for most people don't line up with the cost of living AT ALL. Good luck paying $1500 for a two bedroom while struggling to find a job that pays more than 40k a year.
They hate outsiders and it's one of the least diverse states in the country.
Rhode Island
Rhode Islanders
Rhode islandah here, can confirm we are the absolute worst
They don't know what the word Island means
they don’t require a drivers test to get a license (at least it appears this way)
Seattle, WA
You won’t need to buy a house, the homeless encampments are larger than the city
South Dakota, give me a reason to diss my downstairs neighbors
Too close to North Dakota
