What is going on everyone
It is time for our final installment of the ranking of all 50 states
If you haven't seen the first two videos
There's a link in the description
Below and then also at the end of the video in case this the first video you've watched and you don't have time to go
Back and watch the other two videos. Here's a quick recap
The first video was filled with states that go from notoriously bad to they could be better
The second video went from I might be willing to live there to I wouldn't mind living there
This last video will be the top ten places that have far more reasons to move to than not to move to now
I'm sure some of you will have a laundry list of
Reasons one place should be better than another and white some places suck and shouldn't have even been in the top ten and that's fine
I would love to see your thoughts on the subject in the comments section what none of us need to see is you telling people
That they're wrong and you know, they don't know what they're talking about. Just remember no place is perfect
That's why I tried to do a positive and a negative side on every location and stop typing
I know I do far more negative videos than positive videos. I wish I could do more positive videos
It's just a matter of economics positive videos get about a quarter of the views
negative videos gets just what people want to see if you'd like to see more positive videos help them out and share them on your
Social media, you know, whatever like leave a comment do whatever you can maybe we'll make more positive videos that being said
Why don't we finish our video journey to number one with the ranking of all 50 states the top 10?
Number 10, Idaho, there's a reason so many people are moving to, Idaho
It's a really nice place to live the state of Idaho does some really good things
They're one of the top ten states when ranked by fiscal stability
in other words the state government knows how to budget their money the
landscapes of Idaho are some of the best in the country if you hike mountain bike fish hunt ski camp
whatever put the rack on the SUV rent a u-haul and head to the Gem State and become one of the
1.7 million people that called the Gem State home one thing for sure
We're gonna get in the comments section this videos people from Idaho making comments about we don't want any
Californians moving here. Don't come here and ruin our state like you ruined yours with your liberal ideas
They say that's up all the time in our comments section. Here's the good news for Idaho
Not many liberals are heading there 80% of people heading to Idaho from California are registered Republicans
Liberals are heading to Colorado and Oregon you're safe
Number nine, Washington, the Evergreen State is Washington's nickname
And it has nothing to do with the fact that they legalized weed some years back
It has to do with the serious amount of trees. The state has for the most part on the western side, Washington has
7.5 million residents and has about a thousand trees for each and every one of them. I'm not even kidding
It's like 1,100 really I like Washington I go to a couple different places when I want to get away from Oregon and film whatever
Relax with the Puget Sound and Seattle right there. It's hard to be bored in Washington, Washington
has the second best health care system in the country and most the residents live within a two-hour drive of
Canada so they can get their meds a hell of a lot cheaper than they can in the United States
This is a great state for people with health issues Brentford, Los Angeles who moved her dad and her family up to Bellingham, Washington
Which is right there bred the Canadian border for that reason
She said she saved thousands of dollars every single year and she's never leaving Washington. I'm sure even when it passes away, I don't know
Number 8 Colorado Colorado is one of the best states in the country for families with towns like Castle Rock, Littleton, Colorado Springs
It's not hard to find a great neighborhood raising kids whenever I see a lists online about great places to live
I find towns in Colorado every time I've left Colorado whether it was when I was stationed there or just
Visiting it was depressing to leave. It's just the type of place. You just want to stay there. I don't know what it is
It's just something great about this state now. I've explained this before when we decided to leave, California
it was going to be Colorado or
Oregon the only reason Oregon became our home is it has a coastline we need to be by the beach
That's just kind of how we are if you're a landscape painter or photographer the landscape is so amazing here
You won't find a more picturesque state to apply your trade
Number-7 Vermont Vermont is very much like its neighboring state of New Hampshire. The main difference is population
both states are close to the same size and area but Vermont has less than half the population they only have about
600,000 residents and that's one of its major draws a lot of people like that
I mean if you like to be alone in the woods while you drink a bottle of maple syrup
You need to move to Vermont. The Green Mountain State is sixth in health care sixth in education and fifth in crime
Those are solid numbers. I've never spent enough time in Vermont. Then there are a few times
I need to go back really neat state need to spend the holidays there someday, that'd be great
Number six New Hampshire New Hampshire is a New England state that most people not from the right side of the country know anything about
In case you need to find it on a map in a hurry
Here's a hint if you want to drive to mean you need to pass through the Granite State to get there and that's their nickname
The Granite State they got a lot of granite. That's why New Hampshire has a great education system. Very little crime actually
They're the second best in the country when it comes to crime stats. That's pretty cool. And here's another cool one
They are number one in a stat called opportunity
That's a stat they get when you measure poverty housing affordability equality for women
minorities and people with disabilities
They're the best in the country for that those three stats
Education crime and opportunity show you the quality of the people that live in this state
This is a great state for anyone to live unless you're a criminal. I imagine it's really not a good state to live in
Number five
Wisconsin the Badger State is a unique state. They're very family and community orientated
I was doing a video about Wisconsin last year and I read a strange article about how people never leave Wisconsin now, obviously
I don't mean literally people do leave the state sometimes
Stop typing
But the article went on to say that
Unlike most states a large majority of the kids go to school in the state and remain in the state after college
I forgot the exact stat
I wish I could find it again
But it was much more than any other state if you ever spend some time with people in, Wisconsin or visit, Wisconsin
You'll see why as far as the landscape of Wisconsin goes it's okay
It's nothing incredible, but it's people are its biggest plus
I mean, you gotta love a state which keeps all its crime in one city and that's Milwaukee
Just stay away from Milwaukee and it's an incredible state
Number for Texas, and now we get to the Lone Star State from a statistical standpoint
Texas is great on so many levels that in the past when I've done negative videos about, Texas
I've had a hard time finding stats that were negative
it was it's really really a rough place to do negative videos about my only
Personal gripe about Texas is the heat basically the reason I would never live
There is a personal reason only if you don't mind the heat, I would encourage everyone to give Texas a serious look and yes
I know there are portions of the state that aren't
Sweltering most of the I get it stop typing and if you don't mind the heat and you like guns, this is your paradise
Number three, Maine
Lobsters and great people are always easy to find in Maine and that's just a straight-up fact if you like a quiet type of life
And don't mind the cold you won't find a better place to set down roots. Statistically Maine is the safest place in the country
Really?
They're like number one lowest crime in the country, you know, you're in the right place when lobster poaching is like a major crime
Maine is called the Pine Tree State for good reason the whole state smells like Christmas
Every time I visited Maine I feel like I'm on a movie set the towns are adorable
The forests are deep an army buddy of mine said that when he was growing up in Maine you camped all the time
It was so safe that he and his friends at like age 12. He said would camp for like three days by themselves
I don't know if this is a thing in other states but being from Los Angeles
Originally, I was kind of shocked at that and the story always stuck with me
You don't camp without grownups when you're like 12 years old that was crazy. But to him it was perfectly normal
I always loved that story
Number 2 Oregon the beaver state is my home state not because I was born here
But because I was drawn here I visited a friend who lived in Portland
Oregon while I was in the Army in Washington back in the 90s from those few trips
I knew I wanted to live in, Oregon
Now it took me about 16 years to finally pull the trigger on that one. My only regret is I didn't do it sooner
I know a lot of people like to make comments that Oregon is the liberal and then they add whatever the latest
Conservative catchphrase is you know, whatever's popular
Cesspool hellhole whatever what most of them don't understand
Most of Oregon is a red state just Portland and Salem are liberal
The good news is nobody ever forces anyone to be a liberal if you move to Portland
So don't be afraid in Oregon we make and drink great beer we go on hikes and drink coffee
The people are great and it's beautiful and it's only my second favorite state
and
Number one, Pennsylvania. Yes. That's right
The Keystone State is number one many of you will disagree but I will explain and show you why I feel
Pennsylvania is the best state in the Union. I know it's Commonwealth. So stop typing
Please hear it all the time. If I do mention its Commonwealth people tell me that really nobody cares about that
but if ID
Mention it people tell me it's not a state
It's coming with I can't win on that one
Once you get out of the big cities like Pittsburgh and Philadelphia
You have hundreds of small towns that have far too many positives to list in a ten minute video
I personally think hones Dale Pennsylvania is the best small town in America
I did a whole video on the town of just over four thousand people and another one on the
historic hotel Wayne that sits on Main Street and actually has sat on Main Street since any of us walked the earth actually since
1827 which is long before any of our
Great-grandparents were whipping around on horseback
rural
Pennsylvania is filled with trees lakes and good people if you hunt fish kayak canoe
Like to sit under trees and stare at grass
You need to visit and look at getting some land here in Pennsylvania for the quality of land
The price was very reasonable
I have looked at buying some land and homes Dale and was pleasantly shocked by what you'd get for the price
I would encourage everyone to visit a small town in Pennsylvania and see what I'm talking about now
I'll actually be going back to Wayne County and homes Dale again soon to show you why I'm so in love with this town
Why I'm in love with Pennsylvania, like I've said before I'd live there right now, but I was voted down by my family
So they want to stay in Oregon. Now what I do go to hones Dale in Wayne County
I'm gonna try and line up some local officials to talk to about the place. So it just won't be from my eyes
We'll talk to some of them and then you'll see what I'm talking about. So stay tuned for that
All right, so that is the end of my ranking of all 50 states
That was the final ten, Pennsylvania coming in as number one and back at number 50 was Mississippi. Hope you guys enjoyed it
Hope you got some information out of it
Don't forget all the links below stay tuned for my next video about hones Dale Wayne County everybody. Have a great day
Be nice to each other
