Florida? That is way too high unless it's just about weather. -- nm - jnine Apr 13, 18:58
I somewhat expected this. When I travel for work, more often than not people doubt I live in DC. "Only politicians live there." -- nm - MDH Apr 13, 13:30 1
- except, they live outside. -- nm - loosilu Apr 13, 13:31
Now we know which Dakota is the best. -- nm - Dano Apr 13, 13:28
I finally clicked. Methodology: 1,211 US adults were asked to choose the better of two states from a list of the 50 US states and Washington, - Spawn Apr 13, 13:25 2

- That goes a long way to explaining Hawaii's ranking -- nm - JD Apr 13, 13:32
New Jersey gets such a bad rap -- nm - decline Apr 13, 12:59 19
- Everyone in Florida is from New Jersey, so take from that what you will. - JaxSean Apr 13, 13:31 1
  - NY is well represented and I know that because my whole family either moved there or are snowbirds. Ugh! -- nm - Krusty Apr 13, 13:33
- All I Really Need To Know About New Jersey I Learned Watching The Sopranos. -- nm - mud Apr 13, 13:28
- Just a tad. I can literally go to a Target, Walmart, a major mall, Chipotle, Smash Burger, 5 Guys, a dozen diners, Shake Shack, Blaze Pizza, a dozen - Jovian Apr 13, 13:21 7
  - This is why I wouldn't want to live there. :-) - Krusty Apr 13, 13:27
  - I thin the difficulty in these polls is are they comparing *states* or cities within the states? - Spawn Apr 13, 13:23 3
    - It's just a popularity contest -- nm - rollo Apr 13, 13:26 2
      - Then how did Kentucky do so as well as they did? -- nm - Spawn Apr 13, 13:36 1
        
        Alcoholics and degenerate gamblers made up 813 of the 1211 respondants -- nm - rollo Apr 13, 13:45
  - although if I'm asking about a state, "what chain restaurants are nearby" is not really on my list of questions. -- nm - Reagen Apr 13, 13:23 1
    - Oh I agree. I was trying to make point that NJ (at least here in the north) has pretty much every single store thats mentioned on ST regularly. - Jovian Apr 13, 13:33
- Yup. The jokes make people think it's not as nice as it is. I bet most people that voted haven't visited the state or just passed through it. - Krusty Apr 13, 13:17 6
  - Same for Illinois vs Indiana vs Ohio vs Kentucky vs Tennessee. - Spawn Apr 13, 13:21
  - To be fair, NJ is like 3-5 different zones, most quite nice. Northern NJ casts its pall over the entire state. -- nm - rollo Apr 13, 13:20 4
    - and even then, its just a few townships in N Jersey that do. - Jovian Apr 13, 13:24 3
      - And the more I think about it, any state that deals with urban v. rural also has the same issues -- nm - rollo Apr 13, 13:27
      - not to say that Garfield or Lodi are great. They arent. But thats where all the eastern european, Russian and Ukrainian strippers go to live when they - Jovian Apr 13, 13:27 1
        
        the ratio of schools to strippers is a vital statistic to rank a regions liveability potential -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 13, 13:30
- I was just thinking this ... and PA, DE, and NJ are all in different spots on the list but very similar. DE with no sales tax should be higher. -- nm - rollo Apr 13, 13:01
Rhode Island in the middle is perfect. -- nm - Reagen Apr 13, 12:53
I would like to know *where* these respondents resided. - Spawn Apr 13, 12:41 4
- in America. -- nm - ty97 Apr 13, 12:42 3
  - A little more specificity. -- nm - Spawn Apr 13, 12:43 2
    - The United States of -- nm - rollo Apr 13, 12:55 1
      - Not very, if this is how they feel. -- nm - Spawn Apr 13, 13:01
