1. This is just my opinion. Colorado Oregon Iowa Missouri Montana
2. I've lived in only three myself, but I think quite highly of all of them -- Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Florida (near the cities of Pittsburgh, Columbus, and Tampa/Orlando/Jacksonville, respectively). Good enough weather, good enough people, good enough economies, good cultural environments, taxes that aren't terribly high, and governments that are only moderately annoying.
3. North Carolina, Maine, Wisconsin, Oregon, Michigan.
4. there are only three in my opinion...texas, arizona and utah
5. Oregon, Washington, California, Florida, South Carolina
6. Oregon, Michigan, Minnesota, Idaho, and Washington
7. Arizona, Virginia, Hawaii, New York, and California
8. 1. Arkansas -not looked down upon to have sex with relatives 2. Washington - Rains so often who needs to take showers? 3. California - If you can ever afford a house, you still might get terminated by the governer 4. Nevada - Legal prostitution and nuclear testing sites in one package, this should be number 1. 5. Montana - sometimes you just wanna be alone.
9. Way too individual a question - what do you like? Cold - try Maine? Beaches, tropics, - what is important to you? work? leisure? crime? - ok - general answer - live in a state of peace within yourself, then the State of the Union won't matter as much.. But - great to see someone examining choices!!
10. New York, California, Florida, Ohio, and Texas
11. California, California, California, California, and California. but we're full.
12. What? No votes for Kentucky? Most of us do wear shoes! Florida - I like to be near the ocean; Arizona, for the wide open spaces, blue skies and bright nights (the stars are awesome!) and dry heat; maybe Oregon and North Carolina.
13. Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Florida & Up-State N.Y. ( not city)
14. wisconsin maine tennasee georgea North carolina
