California would be great were it not for Californians.

you mean all those assholes from the other States who have moved here over the last 20-25 years and have taken over the place like cockroaches and have made it what it is today?.....

Pretty much, though I think Nancy Pelosi has been there more than 20 years.

Texas (and most of the Southwest) is nothing but barren wasteland broken up by characterless sub-divisions, strip malls, and chain restaurants.

You couldn't pay me enough to live there.

Besides....Texas is seceding soon. Or at least they keep promising to.

California keeps promising to fall off into the ocean...wish it would hurry up. Hopefully San Deigo and San Francisco will be the first cities to fall in.

Silly ignorant little bootlicker.....California's faults don't run East to West.

New York State has long been the wrong place for a conservative to live in. But where can I move? I need to move to a state with maximum liberties and yet with vibrant economy and infrastructure.

I did some researching online, but to no avail. There's a state reviews website at US States - Rate & Review Places at Rate A Place, but it looks like a new website and, despite a good approach, there are no ratings/reviews.

So what do you think are the top states from such prospective?

Move to Texas or Florida. Texas has all the jobs, but Florida has the best quality of life. Both are cheap and have no income tax.

You must be a commie. You are obviously ignoring trivial issues like the level of taxation and the cost of living.

A lot of money to be made in NY

The government takes it all. There's not much value in making a lot of money when you have to spend $1,000,000 to buy a 3 bedroom home

Lot of wealthy people in NY

Good jobs and great opportunities. Beautiful state

It's all relative. You make a lot, you spend a lot

Beyond that, it's all quality of life.
New York has everything depending on where you want to live. Arizona is beautiful, great weather and it's cities are developing

Texas and Florida.....
Texas is brown, flat and uninspiring.
Florida is flat, humid and is transplanted from NY. Beaches are great though

And, it's the center of the universe.

That's why a 3 bedroom home costs $1,000,000.

But they don't seem to be able to make that connection.

For $1200/mo I can get a 3 bedroom house with a yard and a garage in Florida. In New York, I can't get a 500 sq/ft studio apartment for that amount. Plus, the weather sucks in New York. Plus, the local government there taxes whatever money you have left-over after paying your rent. In Florida I can live minutes away from a nice beach with white sand. The water is 75 degrees - just right for swimming.

The quality of life is better in Florida, any way you look at it.

I feel stupid for even telling New Yorkers this stuff because the last thing I want is a bunch of New York assholes invading my little slice of paradise.

You have never been to NY
NYC you won't get that. Upstate NY, no problem. Beautiful lakes, mountains, farms. Real weather

NY has some of the most beautiful beaches in the country.

Ya ain't never gonna see 75* water temp, and you ain't going swimming New Years Day.

You might be right about not swimming on New Years Day, but I've seen 80 degree water here on LI this year.

You can have flat, steamy Florida. Upstate NY is cheap and has the same population it had in 1950. NYC is the greatest city in the USA, great place to visit lol.
