Top 10 Worst States in 2024
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 апр 2024
- So, in 2023, the US population went up by 1.6 million, but weirdly, some states actually lost people. Crazy, right? And that's why some states kinda suck for living, raising a family, finding jobs, buying real estate, or retiring. If your state's on the suckage list, sorry in advance, but seriously, think about calling a realtor and moving to a better one. Loads of folks are doing it. But hey, before we name names, remember this list isn't just someone's opinion-it's based on stuff like job rates, crime stats, housing costs, health, weather, schools, job opportunities, and how nice the weather is. So, without further ado, here are the worst states in 2024.

Who wants to see the best states on Friday?
I do!!
Me too.
I do..I do...I do...I raised my hand first. 😃
Yes, please! I'd love it. Approaching retirement age, and I love the retirement videos. Best overall stats would be nice.
But please, say something new about my original home state of Iowa (currently in Texas). We know Iowa's a little boring, but there's more to it than that.
The worst state is whatever state you’re in currently if you’re broke
Facts
That why it is called in a state of poverty
Agreed
True haha
California for me
"It's not the people, it's the politicians." Except the people vote in the politicians, so it is the people.
Watch "The Distinguished Gentleman" with Eddie Murphy. It's 32 years old. Sums it all up. Just watch the first 45 minutes.
Sometimes the politicians tweet the results of the people though….😅
@@TheKyleLazarus I love that movie. Haven't watched it in years but you're right. It really is the perfect explanation of politics in America.
@TheCharleseye "with all this money coming in from both sides, how does anything ever get done?" "It doesn't. That's the beauty of the system."
Oh boy, do I have news for you!
When I lived in Phoenix, it would hit 90 F in April, 100 F in May, could get hotter than 120 F and didn't come back down to 90 F until November. Yeah, it's a dry heat, but so is a blast furnace.
Agreed. I had to move away from Phoenix.
And it doesn't cool off much at night!
Gotta agree, dry heat is FLIPPING HOT!! Anyone saying different, on Thanksgiving, halfway through your turkey being done, open the oven door and stick b your face in it as quickly as possible. THAT MY FRIENDS, is like opening your living room door in the summer, in Arizona
I've been out west just once in my life an that was to Silver city New Mexico it was for 2weeks in November stay with my older brother there he worked on the Cranes in the copper mine there an Hey I loved it but of course it was November 😂 but the site seeing was Cool in the Gilla mountains/foot hills or wat not this was 17yrs ago in 2007 so its been awhile think 🤔 thats how ya pronounce it Gilla? G sounds like a H anyways we flew out landed in Phoenix an I couldn't believe the wall of heat you'd hit when walking out of the airport can't imagine middle of summer out there 😮😩 ugh
However, his Arizona state list focuses on Southern Arizona too much. In Flagstaff and the Canyon it snows five months out of the year. Deadly slippery snow. 😮
The problem is not politicians, the problem is the people because they keep voting for the politicians who make the decisions that keep them down.
Even worse is voters think they have a choice. If it's not one extreme its another.
You're totally right, but I think most people on those states don't like changes, sadly they will always be among the worst states
Shush
@@ajc-ff5cmthat very much depends on how badly gerrymandered the electoral districts are in a safe seat by design, the dominant Party has no incentive to select a moderate candidate.
A British MP had remarked that in the UK, the voters choose their representatives; in America, the representatives choose their voters.
END gerrymandering NOW!
Exactly. They vote on their feelings, not on facts. Sad.
Oklahoma's potholes are ranked ... middle of the road
Missisippi made it to Nr.3??? Wow! What an improvement! Congrats!
Mississippi has the LEAST amount of homelessness per capita of any state in the country,,, let that sink in
@@nathanembry9245 Houses are super cheap in Mississippi... they're not that great either.
@@soundscape26 Some of the new builds look quite nice actually.
😂😂😂😂😂
Yall keep laughing. I've lived from DC to Miami, and several cities out to California. I love it in Mississippi. 😝 so there. 😅
I think it's interesting that every single state bordering Texas always makes these lists.
Because if Texas neighbors have real talented people, Texas will snatch them away, Dallas wanted a talented oncologist in Arkansas so they made him an offer , now he’s in Texas!
Maybe we should build a wall
West Virginia is absolutely gorgeous.
Still not as bad as Illinois
@JdeC1994 Springfield takes more than its fair share out of us on everything. They better not take more from the fed. What's shocking to me is that WV has higher taxes than VA.
@@MoonlightXYZ Last I checked, W.V. is the FOURTH-most-subsidized state (i.e., subsidized by D.C.). Illinois? The 46th. 😡😡
W VA has always been easy pickins for billionaires like Rockefeller and Manchin who pose as lefties and live and vote as righties.
It really is
Always enjoy your work and appreciate how you objectively utilize your stats. Thanks!
Louisiana being the worst makes me pretty sad honestly. My whole family is from there and there’s lots of history there… oh well.
It's still opinion based, don't forget. Everyone's experiences may be different, your family might love it.
Louisiana isn't surprising at all
Louisiana is a shithole
Yeah a city being called the big easy isn’t something to be proud of
@@GG-EZPZ55 It's Statistics based. Stats ARE NOT opinions. I lived outside New Orleans at one point. LA sucks. Most of the people and food are great. The state itself sucks. The stats say it sucks, therefore it does. It's that simple.
Dude you're too funny, "So many problems where it give the governor a stroke." 🤣🤣🤣🤣
13:11
When cotton was all the rage and payroll nonexistent they were doing pretty good. 😂😂😂
when he said Mississippi was wealthy "when cotton was all the rage and payroll was non-existent." 🤣🤣😅😅
"And not in a good way".
Briggs, I can see that you put a lot of work into this one. Bravo!
Arizona is not just Phoenix!!! It snows 5 months out of the year in Northern Arizona!! 😮😮
Thanks! Solid Video! My bad on the hiccup yesterday, that actually was my 2nd stream last night, audio was bad on first one, and when I restarted I hopped right into it without doing my intro correctly.
I know I should not be laughing so hard at a Top 10 Worst States list, but Briggs your comedian! Said my peace, gonna watch to the end now. Bless your heart.
To add to what you said about it, California is one of the worst states to be a trucker.
Are you a trucker? Which states would be the best?
@@frankendudi3s608
Sort of, I’m pretty new to it so I’m not the best person to ask. For what it’s worth though, a lot of the flatter midwestern states tend to be the best. Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. There should be decent sized cities ideally too.
It's because there are almost as many trucks as cars! I do feel bad for big rig drivers in all the stop and go traffic. It has to be maddening.
Same with Florida, poor education and high insurance premiums
Hilarious. #1 state Arizona residents are moving to last year? California.... Most people who criticize California have never lived there... it's the trendy thing to do....
That was so well done - thank you!
The most disturbing thing I came away with is that bit about mayonnaise in banana pudding…
I totally got to miss hearing that but now you have to bring it up.
Shout out to Briggs for keeping me informed
Thanks for watching.
How did I know New Mexico would show up on this list? We have a saying here, "Thank God for Mississippi". If it were not for Mississippi, we would always show up as the top worst place.
That goddamn breaking bad didn’t do y’all any favors.
@@Helmuesi911 Yes it did! It gave people the impression that things are like on Breaking Bad. It is not that good. The violent criminals are much more insane.
Thanks, Briggs. This was very thorough research. God bless.
Love all of your lists. I am always looking for your videos. Thanks for the great content!
Where you live is all a state of mind.
I covered LSU sports when I was in media in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Paul Skenes, The most recent #1 pick in the MLB draft, played baseball at LSU. He recently said that he wants to retire in Baton Rouge after he finishes playing professional baseball. People down here were genuinely confused when he said that because Paul Skenes is from Manhattan Beach, California and lived in Colorado Springs his first two years of college before transferring to LSU. Happiness is a state of mind! Find the RIGHT place for you, not what everyone else thinks.
My dad worked for the Saints for 3 years, (after the Rams in L.A. for 20 years). The one thing that surprised me was any time someone's car died on the freeway it took less than an hour before that car was stripped clean. I mean it's like a bunch of car vultures had been circling it. And that was every make and model of car. It was crazy!
The car stripping reminds of NYC in the 80's.
Curious, why would somebody just leave their car? Most rational people would just wait by their car until they can flag down a tow truck. Besides this, I live in an area where, outside of catalytic converters, car stripping is unheard of.
@@alainarchambault2331Some people may not have cell service or they got a ride to a gas station or something
Briggs, I'm from Germany, never been to the US so far but love to watch your videos! One day I will make it there and your videos have taught me a lot so far, keep it up!
If you want to come to the States don't come to Illinois
@@correybailey7138 Haha I appreciate the advice!
@@correybailey7138 Come on, IL isn't that bad. There are many beautiful State Parks, State Forests & wildlife areas+ at least 2 National Historic sites. There's also quite a bit of history if you make the effort to look, and let's not forget the beginning of Route 66.
@@pattyolson3842 I've been to Lincoln s home and the museum and route 66. I've grew up in Springfield
@@correybailey7138
What? Why? Illinois is cool. Chicago is gorgeous.
Always interesting from every aspect
Briggs you are a hoot. Somedays you give me heartburn, today I appreciate your studiousness in searching out the facts. Well done Bro...or Bruh...or Buddy.
Briggs is my favorite RUclipsr!
Briggs I hope you can go on more road trips and do a deeper dive into towns u like.
Two quick thoughts. First, in June July and August, it is a "cool" day in Arizona if the temp only reaches 100F. Second, with regards to the crime rate in New Mexico, there is a VERY high correlation between crime rates and drug/alcohol abuse in the state.
Add poverty to your list of why the crime rate is so high in New Mexico.
Crime and drugs/alcohol do correlate, but the thing that is pretty much a constant is poverty!
@@nejdro1 poverty is a constant in this list, but do you know what leads to poverty? Poor education. The demographic that is most likely to drop out before graduating high-school are Native Americans, African Americans and Hispanics. Highest Native American populations in the US are Alaska, Oklahoma, and New Mexico.(New Mexico also has a high Hispanic population) Arkansas, Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi exceed the national average in African American population, annnnnnnnnd, we've covered nearly the entire list.
Its actually a vicious cycle. Even if educated, if there are no or few jobs in an area, life is difficult. It is not a coincidence that the Military gets a disproportionate number of enlistments from such areas, as there are so few opportunities there.@@firefighter1c57
@@nejdro1 The relationship between crime and poverty is reciprocal: crime causes poverty (not just vice versa).
I always enjoy these videos..
I'd like to see a ranking of the best place in the worst states contrasted with the worst place in the best states.
Briggs can you do the most dangerous counties list and small towns with highest property crime rate?
Would love to see the best states Friday
Thank you for the Damascus shout out last week.
I think I hear Georgia saying " Hold my beer"
Oh great my NOLA home in Louisiana state is the worst but not surprising . I have been living in North Portland Oregon the last 18 years and now realize that it’s time to move elsewhere.
I just left Portland last summer. The only things I miss are the restaurants and vegetation.
Arizona is other worldly beautiful. Bisbee is a must. Tombstone a must visit as well.
Not to mention the Grand Canyon and Sedona - other beautiful places!
AZ isn’t all hot like most people think; there are lots of areas where it snows and where summers are on the cool and reasonable side- like Flagstaff😁. There are also areas where you can experience the four seasons.
"Arizona is other worldly beautiful."
The Grand Canyon? Yes. Phoenix? Uh, no.
@Lourdes-A. All Americans should visit Arizona, at least once.
I lived in the high desert just outside of Tucson. The monsoon season is absolutely gorgeous!
The way you explain your metrics for determining these rankings is praiseworthy. Notice that these criteria can be found in ALL our states, and often vary by degree and distribution each state and not necessarily them.
I'm honestly surprised that Alabama isn't higher on the list. And that makes me feel so much worse for people living in the other states.
When California is only one above Mississippi and gets its butt handed to it by Alabama, you know things are bad on the West coast.
Hot as a jalapeno enemaa! You're killing me Briggs😂😂😂
My people are from Louisiana. I haven't set foot in that state since 2003.
I will be stopping off in New Orleans on a motorcycle trip to Belize this November but not sticking around for more than a day.
Louisiana safety > Belize safety, and it's been 20 years since I was in Belize.
Belize is much safer than Louisiana.
I would rather take Arizona’s HEAT than Alaska’s COLD!!! Same goes for the cold of Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota and any other state where it is really cold!!!
Normal people don't like living in an oven
you can always put on more clothes. but once you are stripped down to skin. you can’t take any more layers off….if it’s still not cool enough.
@@patrickcoyne1292 Don’t mind the heat I can Always go swimming to cool off!!!
Snow is horrible😅
@@ComeBackKid1 I am not normal!!! I have a nasty case of Aspergers so I am weird to say the least!!!
Briggs I value your research, it saves me time. Hope you do the same for best with those categories. Thank you!
You bet!
Can you please do most average states. The ones that always sit in the middle of these charts
@cynthia931, The San Francisco area IS part of Northern California. Tell me what " Southern California issues" are you referring to ?
Indiana. We're ALWAYS in the middle. Just where we like it.
@@kinjunranger140 your political people prove that. From Pence to Buttigieg
@@angrymuffinsb Seriously? You actually just turned the conversation into a political one? hahahaha I almost feel sorry for you. But alas, you probably have a sister-wife.
@@kinjunranger140 how have I turned it political for mentioning people that are poles apart. It’s called an example. So let me simplify it for your apparent delinquent mentality. One is deeply left, the other right. They are both from the same state. Thus putting your state in the middle, which; by your own admission is where it sits. I hope your neurodivergent brain understands this.
Briggs, you rock! Love the channel and content. Peace 🤘 💥 ✌️
West Virgnia has plenty jobs in the eastern panhandle, Martinsburg, Shepherdstown, Harpers Ferry and northern WV near Morgantown, Fairmont Clarksburg. So, to be fair there are some good areas.
Public schools are terrible everywhere
Less lengthy vid today thank you
Arkansas is a genuinely nice place, well the entire northern part of it. Very laid back and a very beautiful place.
That’s awesome!!
And can you please make a list of the states with the highest property crime rate?
Love me some Arkansas, ex-calif. ... thanks for the help keeping folks out!!!
You don't have to worry at all, ain't nobody trying to move nowhere near there
Did the same move 3yrs ago. Way too much growth and people moving into NWA. We needs Briggs to keep up the negativity😉😎
Ikr. I love it when NM is on these negative lists as well. Stay outta Arkansas & NM. Horrible horrid places.😉
So don't tell your friends back in California about it or else them and everyone else will move there.
A lot of people, and RUclipsrs, like to talk about Saudi Arabia when referring to the "resource curse." I usually think of West Virginia because of coal and the reasons you were saying.
Billionaires posing as lefties but voting righty find W VA a gold mine, not a coal mine. Rockefeller, Manchin- those guys get paid to fleece the state.
Who else, when hearing Briggs say "Be nice to each other", interprets it as meaning "Don't go shooting each other like they do in Jackson and Baton Rouge".
Mississippian here. Honestly in another 20 years i dont think my state will be on the bad list anymore. Everything brigs said is true. Especially the education portion. The last grade i passed was the 7th. I dropped out as soon as i turned 16 and had a job lined up in my uncles heavy equipment business clearing land. Then i moved into trucking and heavy equipment. Im noo dummy however yes i have little formal education. And that story is really common for alot of the guys ny age still in there 30's. But here lately it seems like the culture as a whole has been shifting to value the education. And rightfully so! Another big thing! Bigger companies are looking at MS to move too! Witch is huge! Wadges are starting to go up at alot of smaller local companies! MS is on the raise!
Mississippi definitely needs to work on their racism.
Surprisingly proper grammar and punctuation.. I’m impressed.
In one short post, you have given us multiple examples of why Mississippi has poor scores for education.
Not the way the treat pets and their high kill rates always tells you a lot about the people you live among
I lived in California from 1972 to 2004. One thing I heard once I hit adulthood was that taxes we paid in northern California tended to go for southern California issues.
That is exactly right. Also, state laws cater to the needs of SoCal (mostly LA and SF) and ignore those of NorCal.
@TheCharleseye Ive seen stats showing that the State of Jefferson movement is growing in Cali
@@TheCharleseye Think about it: Drug dealers and such would be concentrated in urban areas where distribution and sales are most abundant. If you had an equally large urban area in Northern California, you'd also have issues there. It is the same urban versus rural pattern all the way up the coast into Canada. It's not so much as laws as it is human nature.
Then again, I live in Port Alberni, BC, Canada, with a population of 17,574, and we have a small ghetto scene here as well, so what do I know. 🤨
Rumors abound, but the money goes where the most people are. SFO, LA, and SD areas get the most dough. The areas are huge.
@@alainarchambault2331 That's great. Meanwhile, the state oversteps when it creates laws for 40,000,000 people that only need apply to those living in a few cities. Mayors and city councils exist for a reason. The state is way too heavy-handed in the way it dishes out restrictions for all.
It's all a state of mind man. Statememts abouts states with the stats on states has my mind in a state.
Hmm...Ive worked quite a bit in AZ and I love it! Even when it's 110, it's better than 85 in Miami. I spent 3 months in Tuscaloosa in 2022... didn't love it.
As I look to move out of Californicated Colorado, I am still willing to give northwestern Arkansas (or eastern Tennessee) a chance. But I am looking more closely at Wyoming, South Dakota, Montana and Idaho.
South Dakota is what Colorado was in the 80s and 90s.
So you want to live where there are very few people?
Not at all surprised to see OK on this list. Easy to move here, but don't expect to ever afford to move away unless you are incredibly lucky or have a rich uncle.
I was born and raised here in OK. 55 yrs. I am ready to go. We are planning to hit the road in the Summer of 2025. Briggs should've made note that we are ranked number 2 on domestic violence deaths and thats mainly men killing women. And yep unless you work in certain fields, maybe 2, there are no opportunities here. I damn sure will not be retiring here.
Off-topic, but I think I saw you at Nordstrom Rack and was too star-struck to say hi. If that wasn't you at Nordstrom Rack, then it's a good thing I didn't walk up to whoever that was and say, "Stop typing!" 😂
Thanks for the info. I am a French Canadian who has been living in the West part of Canada for 30 years, 3 years in Mx, etc. My plan is to purshase a few acres to eventually live off the grid. I love red wine, healthy food, the outdoors (cycling, hiking, walking, camping). I would like to have a garden, some chickens and hens and put a tiny house or build a shack with windows. Any suggestions? How about Kansas, where the weather seems more temperate than Mississipi or my province or B.C., the next one, where 0.3 acre costs 60,000$?
I'd suggest Southern Missouri. You'll find the Ozark Mountains a beautiful place to live, a much more accommodating climate than Canada, Kansas, or Mississippi, and a rural region where you'll not have to worry about going to jail for collecting rainwater or some other weird thing.
I agree with firefighter1c57 Central Southern Missouri. They have a few wine regions and plenty of farm land. A lot of hospitals off HWY 44. People are friendly and there are many hiking and walking trails.
Kansas gets pretty cold in the winter, but I guess if you're from Canada you're used to it. No one talks about Nebraska much, but it is quite pretty and the people are very nice, but it loves to tax you!
Two questions regarding the aggregate statistics mentioned on this list:
1. What would California's air-quality rank be if you excluded Los Angeles (in other words, how much of a problem is this for people who live outside of the L. A. basin)?
2. With regard to crime, illiteracy, and rates of welfare dependency, what would New Mexico's rank be if you exclude its semi-sovereign reservation communities (in other words, how much relevance do these numbers have for people who aren't part of an American aboriginal tribe)?
In California the Central Valley has problems with bad air. The prevailing winds are from the west and the Sierra Nevada bottle up pollutants. This is one of the reasons for building electrified high speed rail in the valley. That is also why there is so much effort in reducing air pollution by electrifying transportation in general, EVs and such.
@@danielcarroll3358 That does seem appropriate, especially given the vast potential for solar and hydrogen power generation that California has. Thanks for the insight.
The girls in Arkansas were so fast they put a governor on them 😂😂😂
Who caught the ',fast girls'? It was the fast men
@@MalteseKat one of those fast men was a governor ; )
Arizona has definitely been sliding downhill. Amazing beauty, wonderful people but its just getting impossible to afford to live here. Its becoming like LA, and I don't want to live in LA.
I agree on AZ. I lived in Phoenix 6 mo and hated it .
Very interesting! Now I’d like to see the inverse of this video. Top ten states based on the 30 metrics.
Mississippi actually leads the entire nation in LEAST amount of homelessness (per capita). Kinds hard to look down on people when there's always a rood over their head
A bad economy is a great way to limit homelessness. It keeps rent prices down.
you should look into their poverty
Yes and racism at their front door.
Racism is a two way street . I’ve found the “other” side to be very aggressive and hateful .
6:11🤣🤣🤣
Ouch that's got to be rough. Oof!😖
This makes me very sad. We left Louisiana in 2008 for PA. I loved my life in LA and I hate Central PA (near PSU). Hate it here. I've actually been thinking of moving back there. I miss the people. But I really miss my hometown Michigan.
Michigan much better.
As someone born in Oregon but having lived in Mississippi for four long years (87-91), I can empathize. Never take a career in nuclear power like my dad did.
Is your dad Homer Simpson ?
Sounds like Grand Gulf NPP
If this list can teach us anything, it’s that clearly neither party knows just what in the heck to do about solving poverty or lack of infrastructure. Why should they if you can just continue to eat well on the promise of doing it?
They’re trying to expand poverty, not get rid of it
I'm mot saying that either party has all the answers...
But the list is extremely one-sided. California is the only "blue" state, there are a couple "purple" states, and the rest are all deep red.
They all know how to solve these problems. They just won't. Granted, some states don't have the resources to make the kinds of changes that are necessary, however states like California don't have that excuse. Their refusal to change things is all about keeping plenty of people voting for the politicians who keep them reliant on the state for their income. California's super-majority gets to pass all manner of terrible laws, and spend their way from a $200,000,000,000 surplus to a $65,000,000,000 deficit in just three years, because the majority aren't willing to vote against the people who provide them with government assistance.
You speak as if there is a choice of viable candidates in elections anywhere, much less California. At least those who want to vote can vote.
Best food I ever ate was in the French Quarter! Best coffee too...
That's that Chicory Coffee. It's decisive, but if you love, it's the only coffee you'll ever want again.
@@basedandredpilled88 Cajun food. Best food in the country. Take your tomato sauce somewhere else, my food need ta start with reux. And I'll munch on some boudin while I wait.

Mississippi, agree... lived there, but fortunately, just a short while
I've been reading in the last few years that Oklahoma is becoming a destination for preppers and bunker builders for it's isolated distance from missile/drone attacks, most inland port, and fertile soil.
It's proximity to, and down wind of PanTex make Oklahoma about the worst conceivable place for long term survival from a significant attack. A successful strike on PanTex would immediately turn half the state into crater lake, and radiate the rest of the state into waste land for the next 5 millenia... I'd think Inland of the Sierra Nevadas would be the best place. Temperate climate, low population density, sufficient soil and seasons for crops, sufficient water, and low priority for attack
@@firefighter1c57 Perhaps I'm remembering more the Missouri and the Ozarks plateau. Since the coasts would be more ideal for attack, anything central is less ideal.
@Timithos PanTex, north and east of Amarillo is the location where the US manufacturers nuclear weapons. While I live in and love Eastern Oklahoma which is part of the Ozaek uplift, the jet stream would spread radiation over all of Oklahoma following a successful strick on PanTex, and, we have to assume PanTex is a darling target for both terrorists and rogue states.
I moved from California to Utah 4 yrs ago,and i got to admit,no state is ran better than utah,the problem with utah is the people,they suck
Have you ever thought about doing a most middle of the road or average state list?
Knew my state would show up in this list. Surprised Arizona didn't get a higher ranking.
Recent CA expat to WY. Taxes, crime, addicts, and politics equaled moving van for us.
Might see me there soon enough from CO. Too many yuppies from the coast moved to the front range and now it looks just like California with homeless everywhere.
You'll be back to CA sooner or later.
Don’t California Wyoming. California people can wreck anything.
The cold. Less light in the winter. Cold is severely depressing. Tassilaq, Greenland is like the suicide capital of the world. Could also coincide with unchecked demonic activity - unchecked by the power of prayer. Virtually no one is praying in some of the isolated, cold places.
That's only because they don't count all of the insane number of overdoses in California as suicides. I'm sorry, were you harboring under the delusion that so many people in California OD because their lives are so great?
Then you have to ask yourself about the ripple effect. If people in Wyoming get depressed, get drunk, and kill themselves, and people in California get depressed, get addicted to drugs, spend the next few years lying, stealing, and otherwise victimizing everyone they encounter, and then OD...which state is really worse?
Your voice is Actually really good And beautiful love Form India
I was born and raised in Oklahoma. So, I agree. A lot of southern states(I’m not shocked because I’m from the south. Not Deep South though.)
Ah, Briggs my friend to expand my knowledge.
I know I'm not among the worst so I can relax.
California getting least safest state for workplace is something I'd like to know more about. Internet searches aren't turning up information on this. Would you (or anyone for that matter) possibly be willing to cite a source for this? I'm not saying the video is wrong, but I would just like to know more being this relates to a current consideration of mine.
CA new law for most employers to have a Workplace Violence Prevention Plan implemented. At least companies have Workmans Comp in case you get hurt on the job. CA is favorable to employees despite being an At Will state.
Big businesses are very profitable in California and work pressures are often high, leading to an increased sensitivity in the workplace. So, the issue gets some focus politically. For all the luxury lifestyle you hear about in CA, most people are working their asses off.
Interesting I guess I’m a product of where I’m from (Ms) but all these top 10 I like visiting except Ca Ky and La
A friend and I visited New Orleans in 1979 and we were warned by two different taxi drivers on our first day there to stay away from Bourbon Street, and to stay very close to our hotel room after dark. I am pleased to say that we had a lovely time, but we chose to sightsee with groups and guided tours. We were there for five days and, even though New Orleans had a bad reputation back then, we had a wonderful time!
Nyc and Cali would be on this list if they turned in their crime reports & stop not reporting crimes
florida doesnt report its crime bud
Just finished the documentary on New York homicide pretty scary there murder solvent rate since the late 80s according to the doc was like less than 60%
Forbes had NYC ranked 5th safest large city in US. Forbes is a pretty right wing publication. You might hear bad propaganda about ny but its nowhere near as bad as they make it out to be on FOX
ok, now for the top best states 2024 edition.
Arizona here. A lot of people don't realize. The entire state isn't hot like phoneix. The northern part of the state is much milder due to higher elevations.
You should do a video on the Carolinas if you didn’t already 😉
Are 💩 or what ?
California is underated. California has beautiful weather, better social life, awesome education, and there is a mix of people of different races
The big issue is the stratospheric cost of living. I moved away from the SF Bay area where almost all of my family lives because it's hard to see a future in a place where home ownership is all but off limits to those who aren't upper middle class (I define that as a household income of $150,000/year) or higher, born into the right family or bought your house around 2014 or earlier. I just bought a nice starter home just outside of Phoenix, AZ for less than $400,000. That same house where I used to live would easily have cost over 2x that amount.
underated...lol...it's a dumpster fire,most homeless in the nation,worst traffic in the nation,2nd highest cost of living,only Hawaii is worse
@shadfletcher6815 Florida is a disaster too. Too many Old people, lots of hurricanes, and tornados, LGBTQIA discrimination, students in schools are gaslighted by the governors dictatorship rules. People are Leaving Florida too, there's a lot of drugs, crime, and dangerous areas too
@shadfletcher6815 Hawaii has beautiful weather than Florida. Nobody is leaving Hawaii
On the other hand, Dallas has the most dangerous highways in the U.S.A
I’ve seen enough of these videos that I could predict what was on the list.
I grew up in Louisiana and once Mississippi is out of the way, I get excited because I know what's coming.
This video is BS.😅

Briggs, who H is putting mayo in Banana Pudding? I’m a southern who now lives out West & I’ve never heard of mayo in Banana Pudding.
Can't disagree!!!
Oklahoma is OK in my book! One of the best places to live. You can live and get left alone, but at the same time the community sines together if something happens to one’s of its community members.
I am proud to be an Okie from Lawton!!! I made my arrival in this world on a cool morning on October 12, 1969 in Lawton Oklahoma at the Reynolds Army Hospital on Ft Still!!!
Just left OK last week after 15 years for NH. Oklahoma is a beautiful state with wonderful people. Much love to y'all. I hope you can figure things out
Moved to OK ten years ago from the east coast. The only thing I hate about it is the weather. Between the heat and the storms the weather really sucks, imo. The people are awesome, housing is affordable and there is plenty to do. I really like it here.
Of more value than saying a whole State is good or bad, is what are good places to live. If you live in AZ or CA you don't live in the whole State, you live in a town, part of a city, the countryside, and so on. Even though CA's got a bad rating, likely the residents of La Jolla, Rancho Santa Fe, or Mill Valley might not agree that where they live are bad places. And In AZ if your home is in Sedona, Carefree, or Scottsdale you might think things are great.
If I had to pick the best places in the USA to live, and I have been to all 50 States, I would choose Santa Barbara, Rancho Santa Fe, and La Jolla, + maybe Mill Valley. Inland I would pick Santa Fe, NM, Sedona, AZ, St George, UT, and Jackson, WY. And if you can afford two places to live, the pairs of Coeur d Alene and Scottsdale or Bozeman and Palm Springs.
I agree. Even in the same city, things can be drastically different
I have been looking into Washington County, Utah
I live in Kentucky, and he's right about getting in to see a doctor. It's nearly a two-week wait to see my primary care physician. For specialists, it's often one to two months.
There's a whole lot of California where it's just as bad as that. It usually took so long to see my doctor when I was sick, that I just didn't bother going because I knew I'd be over it by then.
It's like that everywhere there is sparse population or if you choose not to go to an urgent care or ER. There is no US health care system, just business models.
This is hilarious to me. In Canada, huge numbers of people wait for years just to be assigned a primary care physician. And if you don’t like your doctor, too bad, because you’ll have to endure another years’ long wait to get a new one. The waitlists for scans and surgeries can also be years long.
@@BbTenn Assigned? That's crazy. We choose from a list of physicians who accept whatever insurance we have.
@@TheCharleseye It is crazy, but that’s how it is in Canada. About 6 million Canadians (out of a population of 38 million) do not have a primary care physician. And they often have to wait years to get one. There is no such thing as choosing your doctor. You take what they give you or nothing at all.
As a native Oklahoman, I can confirm this. After living here for 40 years, I’m wanting out. We do have a crap ton of potholes. We have some of the nicest people in the country but we are very closed minded. A plus side though is we have good sweet tea and you can find it anywhere here! 😌
Who thinks New Mexico is the most beautiful desert state? Arizona easily outclasses it.
And for all of the people in the comment section thinking Where's NY?
Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx are a small piece of NY.
Long Island, and heading upstate past the Bronx, are very good places to live overall. The boroughs are the only ones that are dicey 😅
The Midwest cities, or rust belt cities(whatever you want to label them) like Buffalo, and Rochester are as bad or worse than the burrows honestly.
Yeah, but the people from those Midwest cities are actually nice and not rude, obnoxious self-serving, jerk offs
@@firefighter1c57The absolute worse rust belt cities are Detroit, Cleveland, Gary IN etc. Buffalo and Rochester are bad but I wouldn't say they are terrible overall
@naptime0143 I was mostly tossing out options. Some people say they are Midwest cities, some say upstate, some say rust belt... someone the other day said Oklahoma was Midwest and I was dafuq? That isn't even close to Midwest, say, yeah it seems to vary
@@firefighter1c57 Oklahoma is the south 😂
