what is going on everyone welcome back for part two of the ranking of all 50
states if you didn't see the last one there's a link down below in the
description area and there'll also be another one at the end of the video if
you don't have time for that because you're a busy busy captain of industry
giant businessman here's a quick recap number 52 31
now for the most part the first 20 were pretty easy there's a lot of states that
have more problems than they care to talk about in polite company
I mean honestly who hasn't heard a fair amount of profanity when someone talks
about their trip and Mississippi or Arkansas the second half of this list is
about places I would consider living or at least spending some time in if you
did see the first video these states are being ranked by some stats like crime
cost-of-living housing things like that schools my experience weird facts and
reputation basically it's my opinion while taking
all those things into consideration that being said let's start part 2 of the
ranking of all 50 states number 30 Michigan Michigan is almost two
different states the upper portion and the lower portion the upper portion is
good the lower brings the whole state down I think it's more fair to say that
Lower Michigan has seen better days it's been almost 40 years since those days
but it is getting better at least Detroit has gotten a little bit better
in reality if they would have planted a freaking tree downtown at some point it
would have been a step in the right direction
Flint still has rust-colored water but the upper part of Michigan is pretty
good number twenty-nine Illinois if it wasn't for Chicago this state would be
known for East st. Louis and that's not a good thing
Chicago is a great city with a couple really bad neighborhoods that the news
blows up to scare you I've been to Chicago on a few occasions in the last
three years nothing but good food good people in good times the rest of the
state is pretty much farmland and it's a flyover State and I also feel that
silent s on Illinois is a little obnoxious number 28 in Kansas I drove
across Kansas six years ago it was so boring all I heard was are we there yet
are we there yet are we there yet and I was driving alone I was yelling it out
the window the car but if you like a nice quiet life with a lot of open
fields Kansas at number 28 is for you number 27 California the Golden State in
recent years has become a little tarnished the air quality sucks cost of
living sucks housing sucks it just doesn't have the appeal that it once had
now if you're itching to leave that comment about liberal cesspool or
liberal hellhole stop typing we've heard it far too many times it's boring it's
old you're gonna leave that comment at least be a little original
and all those of you that are dying to use that catchphrase of the week like
bias or something like that remember three of the top five most conservative
states are Mississippi Arkansas and Alabama if you make a lot of money
California's nice if you don't make a lot of money it's a nightmare
number 26 Arizona Arizona is hot it's dry and when it's 120 degrees outside
you can go cool off in uh nowhere there's no place to cool off in this
state unless you've got a major electric bill cuz your air conditioning you might
try the pool but it's probably as hot as the air so that's not very refreshing
you know why cuz they're in the middle of the freaking desert at least they
have good colleges and the low cost of living that's something number
twenty-five Wyoming this is where we start getting a little more into states
I wouldn't mind living in Wyoming has miles of miles of open land and it's
filled with decent people the type of place people look you in the eye when
they shake your hand and stop to help out if you're broken down their only
real knock for me at least is it's a little too wide open a little too sparse
when it comes to cities and towns there's no real big cities in Wyoming
they do have some scary drunk driving stats but not so crazy that it would
stop you from moving to such a great state number 24 Georgia Georgia is
probably my favorite southern state sure it's hot and muggy like the rest of the
south but other than Atlanta and a few other places the state is really
laid-back really relaxed atmosphere it's the type of state where people wave at
you from their front porch while they drink sweet tea you know it's like they
don't even have know you they'll give you a wave now I've spent a lot of time
in Georgia the land is cheap not too far outside the cities and the cost of
living isn't terrible it's actually other than the heat which I don't like
it's a really great state number twenty-three Connecticut Connecticut is
the tale of two states almost you have a few of the most wealthy towns in the
United States and then you have Hartford this is another one of those states that
has a capital city going through some really hard times now they're not
Detroit hard times but they're hard enough
once you get out of some of the less than desirable cities in Connecticut
it's a really nice place to be they have some of the best landscapes in this kind
three now here's a bit of a downer Connecticut leads the country in breast
cancer per capita that's according to a stately comm number 22
Rhode Island besides the fact that people in the comment section try and
tell me how dangerous Providence is it's not don't try and gain your street cred
in a youtube comment section the crime rate in Providence is 30% higher than
the national average to give you thugs from Rhode Island an idea where you
stand in the world of hoods East st. Louis is 89 percent higher than the
national average and Detroit is a hundred and forty three percent higher
Providence is a sleepy town compared to them Rhode Island is a nice state that
you could spend some time in I enjoyed it the couple times I grant it's been in
quite a few years but I enjoyed Rhode Island it was a little quiet for my
liking but it was nice on a downer note it just gets a little cold sometimes and
they also lead the country in illicit drug use per capita so that's something
they don't have that many people so it's easy to do I imagine number 21 North
Carolina North Carolina is a great state with a lot of good history and some bad
history as well even though they're a southern state they don't get the
southern vibe like you get in say Georgia or Mississippi
it also doesn't get much of that heat and humidity that most the southern
states get they have great sports and horribly passionate fans I say horribly
because sometimes they overdo it a little bit go to a NASCAR race it's more
like a religious event to these people number 20 North Dakota after Fargo Grand
Forks and maybe Bismarck there isn't much to this state they do have jobs
well paying jobs in most cases and a low cost of living those too rarely go
together those two things do fluctuate with the cost of oil because they have a
lot of oil jobs there with all the fracking and all that stuff that started
a couple years ago but compared to where the state was 20 years ago they're in
great shape if you're the type of person that likes to live a quiet life and
maybe farm North Dakota may be for you they do lead the country and bars and
farms so that's something number 19 New York there was a time the Big Apple and
pretty much all of New York was the place to be everyone was gonna move to
New York that's not as much a thing anymore New York City is actually losing
people and Rochester has become a bad City who would have seen that one coming
how was thought Rochester was nice my son lived in upstate New York - last
October and in his words after living there two years he said I now know where
I never want to live again New York has more lawyers per capita
than any other state in the country number 18 Montana Montana is one of my
favorite states even though it's a little light on big cities and people
it's still a pretty good state really not a fan of the eastern section of
Montana it's wide open prairies farms rolling hills and not a lot to look at I
like the Morton mountainous western section of it whitefish and West glacier
are - my favorite towns to visit Montana leads the country in poorly paid
teachers and dudes that dream about the Bass Pro Shop number 17
South Dakota South Dakota in my opinion is the much better Dakota there really
isn't much of a difference between the states to outsiders they're like a
package deal of nothing at least South Dakota has the Black Hills which is
loaded with folklore and frontier history South Dakota also leads the
country and concealed carry permits so for you gun fans that's that's kind of
cool the other thing I like about South Dakota land is dirt cheap number 16
Virginia I've been to the amazing state of Virginia several times over the years
each trip is filled with hiking camping and fishing on the Shenandoah River
which is probably one of my favorite rivers of all it's always a good time
especially if you're with good people but I've never been impressed by
Virginia's coastal beaches they they're just kind of not all that they're not
all that now I know I'm spoiled being raised like within a mile of the
Southern California beaches but yeah they just didn't do it for me but all in
all Virginia's just a really big DC suburb which leads the country and
private sector jobs funded by the government
number 15 Hawaii it's a tropical island in the middle of Pacific Ocean so yeah
it's a pretty sweet place to live I mean that is ever since the Japanese stopped
bombing at almost 80 years ago these days all you have to watch out for are
exploding volcanoes a high cost of living and Dog the Bounty Hunter who
lives in Hawaii sidenote there's a really cool video about the history of
dog the bounty hunter on my friends channel called wavy web surf I'll leave
a link below to one of my top five channels to watch Hawaii's cost of
living is out of control that is probably the only knock on the state
they also lead the country and people who identify with the LGBTQ community
number 14 Nebraska Nebraska is another place you could fall asleep while giving
a speech on that would probably be about three minutes after everyone in the
audience already fell asleep talking about visiting and looking at videos
about Nebraska make you feel like you took an ambien but the good news is they
have a great education system a great quality of life score and a decent
economy and if you're watching this years from now and the economy has
changed in the Cornhusker state stop typing this video was done in early 2019
when Nebraska's economy was doing pretty good always get that all the time it's
like look at the date of the video before you make the comment number 13
Massachusetts the pilgrim state leads the country in education and that's not
just the elementary middle and high school I mean they have some of the best
universities in this country in the world probably in the state of
Massachusetts you have Harvard MIT Brandeis Tufts
Wesley College Boston College that's just to name a few there's a bunch of
other ones the Boston metro area is the only real big city in Massachusetts now
they have a few other small cities sprinkled throughout the state but
Boston is the main hub of the state I love this state but they have a couple
knocks I did read a report about them having
one of the worst infrastructures in the country and the second one is they have
extreme cold cold that gets so cold that even a dude like me who likes the cold
might rethink moving to Massachusetts they also lead the country and people
that consider themselves liberals that's kind of weird I would have thought that
would have been like Portland Oregon or just Oregon in general Portland is kind
of its own state sometimes number twelve Utah this is a church run
state whether the locals like to admit it or not Utah has a history that is so
weird that sometimes you'll find it hard to believe and they also have some
national parks that are so breathtaking if you only see pictures and videos of
these parks you'll find it hard to believe they exist Utah has the
second-best economy in the third best education system in the entire country
they also lead the country in church attendance who saw that one coming
number 11 Minnesota I've never had anything but a good time in Minnesota
the state is called the land of 10,000 lakes and to be honest I think there's
more than that it seems like you run into a lake everywhere you go compared
to other states those lakes sometimes double drive time just to get to the
interstate Minnesota has the second best quality of life in the United States
they also lead the nation and whooping-cough so there's something
minnesota is very much a family orientated state they get high marks and
everything from education health care to family life it's not a bad place to live
again though this is one of those places with some serious cold alright so that's
