What is going on everyone? How about we take a look at the positive side of the
first state Delaware if this is your first time watching this channel what we
do here is we make videos about locations in the US states cities towns
neighbourhoods etc I normally do a negative side of whatever subject were
on but every so often I make a positive video about that location every place
has its pluses and it's minuses no place is perfect to be honest I'd love to do
nothing but positive videos the sad fact is they only get half the views negative
video gets because people love the negative who wish they didn't and please
to the person that's going to leave a comment after watching this video that's
somewhere along the lines of you said that this state sucks in your last video
which is it it's both it just depends on who you are and how you see things and
what you want so stop typing Delaware is a great state
with great people and a ton of history it is called the first state because it
is the first state it was the first state accepted into the Union if you're
thinking about moving to Delaware I'm gonna show you why you really should so
sit back and world according to Briggs and chill just kidding
here's my top 10 reasons to move to Delaware
number ten small state Delaware's the second smallest state in
the country this is good for a few reasons
smaller states receive more federal aid per capita than the larger states which
is good for fixing roads and schools and things of that nature at least that's
what you're supposed to do with this money politicians rarely do what they're
supposed to do with the money now traveling is another reason you'll be
close to DC New York Philadelphia and Baltimore sure the closer you get the
more traffic you run into but at least you have the option of going to a bigger
city not like Iowa where there is no option for anything like that unless you
have two days to travel if you need to leave the state the longest travel time
you're gonna have is about two hours that's pretty good if you want to leave
Los Angeles it takes longer than that
number nine beach towns Delaware has some great little coastal towns you can
go to Rehoboth Beach or Bethany Beach for all the beach town type shops
restaurants and in general just touristy activities if the tourist thing isn't
your scene head to slaughter Beach for a more secluded relaxing day at the beach
type thing one of the subscribers said slaughter beaches where all the locals
go and its really really nice not a bunch of shops or anything like that
just nice place to relax that bring a lunch and slaughter beach also sounds
like the title of a 1980s teen horror movie it just does have a bunch of girls
bikinis running around getting you know killed by something in the sand that's
what it reminds me of anyway in my not two video about Delaware I talked about
Rehoboth Beach having some strange laws one city ordinance says that you can't
fake or pretend to sleep on a city bench I don't know what you know really maybe
it was the homeless people or something like that but it's weird that they had
to put that into law you know what if he just doze off waiting for a bus next
thing you know you're arrested for trying to catch a couple Z's but hey you
can't deny these are great places to spend the day number eight Health
Careers every state or city has their major industry Delawares is a place for
health care careers eight of the top ten highest paid jobs
in the state are health care-related Delaware has
outstanding healthcare delaware is a big retirement state so it's no wonder they
have healthcare careers in such demand now I had to explain this to someone in
the comments section when I mentioned it before about another state so let me get
this one knocked out right away as you get older your health tends to
deteriorate the clinical term for that is getting old when you get older things
start to break down sort of like a car like an older car older people tend to
need more help staying on the road since they have such good healthcare in
Delaware it's probably a great place to be older as far as your car I have no
data supporting the theory that Delaware's a great place to have an
older car stop typing number seven nature Delaware is very underrated in
terms of beauty this state is beautiful with sandy coastlines in the East then
towards the west you'll get into the trees a bunch of trees the state has
about sixteen state parks with over 100 acres in total and that's a lot of
hiking land if you are a hiker try swamp forest trail it's about a six point
eight mile moderately traffic loop located near Bear Delaware it has
amazing wildflowers the path is shaded ninety percent of the time LUMS pond is
in the middle of it it's good for all skill levels even if you're older like I
was saying most people in Delaware tend to be it's decent for you the paths are
nice just watch out there's a lot of routes in the path just be careful that
enjoy this place take a camera number six good for retirees Delaware is one of
the top states retirees are flocking to it's no surprise the state has many
benefits for seniors in Delaware residents aren't taxed on their social
security benefits also up to twelve thousand five hundred of their
retirement income is tax exempt which when you're living on a fixed income as
a retiree that's a big bonus they even have some decent casinos retirees always
flock to casinos for some reason it's probably the 24 hour bingo I'm not sure
if you're 65 and over while in a casino please don't try and get your senior
discount on a hand of blackjack it's not a thing it'll never happen
Zeno's offer really good senior discounts but not for gambling okay and
yes I've seen someone try that before and
exactly why I don't go to casinos with my father anymore number five clean
beaches when visiting beaches the last thing you want to worry about is how
toxic the water is especially if you got your kids with you in Delaware it's not
a problem that the state is recognized for having
the best water quality testing program in the country
the waters here regularly tested for all the pollutants ensuring that the
residents and visitors are swimming in the purest water possible now I find
this one a little strange it's Delaware when most people are
thinking about the ocean and beaches they think about California Florida and
Hawaii shouldn't these three states be the ones leading the country and water
quality testing bravo Delaware this one this one gets high marks for me I grew
up near the ocean my whole life and our beaches of California always sucked as
far as water quality I really like this one number four history Delaware was the
first state to gain statehood in 1787 about four years after the end of the
Revolutionary War took them some time to get all the paperwork together
especially back in the day when they didn't have faxes and emails and things
like that it took a while this means the whole state is full of history you can
visit numerous historical parks and sites John Dickinson's plantation the
Ross mansion numerous Revolutionary War sites and more now if you're a history
buff like I am Delaware's a great starting point to learn about this
country you can't go wrong start there and if you do visit you can see all
these things and then there's so many other ones closer in Pennsylvania
Maryland and obviously DC it's a great place to start Delaware in the tele
honest truth most the population there are very proud of it and they're very
knowledgeable about it I had a guy all the time in the army talk about all the
historical things expect before you know the Internet was right there at our palm
he was a wealth of information about the Revolutionary War in Delaware history it
was weird number three fiscal stability
now this one is key and it's really boring Delaware is one of the most
fiscally stable states in the country now this is a smaller state so it's
easier to pull off but it doesn't take away from the fact that the state
government hasn't made any stupid moves that put the state in terrible debt like
so many other states most of the towns are in good
with jobs and opportunity sure Wilmington is a fricking nightmare but
really every state has one or two they're no different the state has the
best credit rating of any of the other states in the country so basically if in
my 20s I was a state Delaware is the complete opposite of me now before
someone pulls out some minor stat about the money there hey don't I'm sure you
can cherry-pick some stats that shows Delaware's and doing that good but their
credit rating says a lot for the state is amazing number two the food scene
Delaware is very diverse when it comes to their food like many states with
ocean borders the status top-notch seafood all along the coast will find
crab shacks and lobster bars and things of that nature
Delaware's also big on Italian food like real Italian food not Papa John's no I'd
like Papa John's it's not like authentic Italian food and to the commentator from
Rhode Island who bragged about how good and how pleasant Italian food scene is
stop typing the dude gave me a list of great Italian food places and his
favorite things to eat at each location so I'm reading through it then I
realized he'd actually listed subway and the meatball sandwich as one of them
that's as far as I got that was like number five and I couldn't read anymore
it was it was just too much for a person who really enjoys food to take in it was
it was bad and number one no sales tax currently Delaware has no sales tax that
means if you go buy something for $2.99 you're only going to pay $2.99 it's the
same way here in Portland and when I moved up here from California it took me
a while to get used to now this saves the residents thousands of dollars each
year in both states sight note they do tax are legalized weed and pretty much
any state that's legalized it they tax it through the roof but still I mean
stoners just happy they're not getting arrested for buying weed Delaware defies
state and government norms they really do they don't tax you up the but and
they still have money to fix things governor's all over the country when
they hear something like this they're saying their selves wait hold on I
didn't know we could do that you mean we won't have to spend more than than we
have coming in I don't know how that works yeah it's really sad but that's
how a lot of the states work things it's it's it's unfortunate all right so
that's my top ten reasons to move to Delaware I hope you guys enjoyed hope

lot of these positive videos because they don't get the views I'd like to do
them more so help me out share this on your social media maybe we can get some
more views on this and I'll do some more hit that like button leave me a comment
