NH is nice -- Things about it I love -- but just too too too freakin' cold in the winter months.

There's no way CT can be #10 given the tax burden.

Minnesota makes to #2 despite lack of snow the last few years. We dropped six places though in education but still tops in healthcare thanks to Ted's return.

I'm not surprised to see Lousy-ana down at no. 49. It usually comes in dead last or close to it in any poll involving quality of life.

My No. 1 gripe with it right now is the hot weather is already starting.

Well, VA came out okay. It IS pretty nice here other than the unbelieveable traffic problems around Northern VA. It's cold enough here. I don't think I'd trade the weather in MN or NH in order to move up.

You could move up 9 spots if you packed up and went to Laramie

Heh, surprised it didn't drop.


MN #2! We have a good health care system overall & a great school system. After opening up my property tax bill a few weeks ago, we'd better be at the top. Sheesh.

WI is #20, it's usually right up there with MN in these sort of ratings.

Not if it's colder than VA. It's plenty cold enough here.

I think that the Mexican government should hand this report to prospective illegal aliens.

Maybe they will head for CT and MN and not CA.

Me too.

Though we have produced some folks that are just down right embarrassing by association.

One in particular comes to mind.

Heck yeah, last couple of years, if you got in on the Oil industry, but prices of everything was still dirt cheap you were probably pretty happy. And there still aren't too many people there. Drive through liquor stores, yeah, it's all good.

Holy ***** Utah is 4? I guess ignorance is bliss.
