Disagree with Arizona, the entire northern portion of the state is in the mountains with much cooler weather and snow. Flagstaff rarely gets above the mid 80s during the summer. Our terrain is very diverse, there’s something for everybody.
Flagstaff is beautiful. Totally agree
This video isn’t about what are the nice parts in each state it’s about if you should move to that state. Most people moving to Arizona are likely moving to Phoenix or Tucson.
@@JaredRichey-ly9qr That’s not what Briggs said at all. Lots of people move to our rural areas because of cooler weather, forests and trees, a slower life, etc.
Flagstaff is gorgeous no doubt. My wife and I were just there over the summer. But I have a question? Does the town, in general, not like tourists. There was a certain apathy and general coldness when we were there that didn’t quite make us feel welcome. Maybe it was just us, or we went to the wrong places, but it wasn’t a very friendly place.
Yeah if you're retiring with money maybe
Briggs, this was informative, I love to learn about each state.
This is very informative. I love learning about the state.
Briggs, good job on Pennsylvania, from a Pennsylvanian, I love my home State and know that it is one of the most beautiful states with a slightly milder Winter temperature than Upstate NY, which looks very much like Pennsylvania only colder and more expensive.
Not moving, just came here for the jokes 😝
No lies told here!
Great job
Can you do a video on best states for interracial couples or mix race families?
I'm from New York and live in Nevada now, best ones for me are:
Nevada
New Hampshire
California (can't move there, own a modded car😂)
Florida
New Mexico
I love Hawaii the big island is my favorite. Honolulu is like a mini Las Vegas. I got island fever real fast on Oahu.
Lmaooooo i love the new mexico one it's so accurate for parole officers
My son loves it here in Alaska even though he wasn’t born here. He did an enlistment in the military on the east coast and couldn’t wait to get back. We moved here for Ct 45 years ago.
Michigan is not all Detroit, Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, west Michigan, upper peninsula
The city or county is more important than the state. Heck, I’m thinking of retiring to North Alabama - Huntsville that is. Not like the rest of Alabama.
Do you know how the job market is?
I want to go see the space center they have in Huntsville.
@@lovemarinelife The museum or Marshall Spaceflight Center? Don't go to the museum during Space Camp, it will be crawling with kids.
@@dawn2508 Doesn't matter, I'll be semi-retired, and likely working remote for the petrochemical industry here in Houston. Anyway, Huntsville has a thriving tech economy, and the city is growing fast, now the largest city in Alabama. Briggs has done some videos on this.
Or even the neighborhood within that city.
Rush hour a gladiator sport? Try Friday afternoon rush hour in L.A. A demolition derby.
Yeah, I would say Briggs doesn't really know South Carolina as well as he might like to think. Far more to it than the low country or just Charleston.
👍Great Info, I'm surprised that Healthcare is so big in so many states. 😳
8:12 I'm thinking the three C's when thinking about Colorado. Camping, Coors, and Cannabis
Briggs you are so punny, LOL!
Missouri Native here- Believe none of what you hear and only half of what you see
I would like to move to a state with the fewest MAGA voters
Lebanon
Massachusetts I guess
@@MrJedi5150 Yeah, unlike in, say, Florida, we can actually get homeowner's insurance here.
@@parkerparkerparker8 Washington, Oregon, California, Colorado, New Mexico, Michigan, New York, Illinois.
🧠🤦🏼♂️😂
"And, in my opinion, people who aren't good decision makers." 😂 Ah, Mississippi.
Before watching the video... for me Maine.
My husband is from Illinois and he got a job offer there, so we moved from Kentucky. Honestly the town we live in isn’t bad but the state itself isn’t my favorite.
Still better than Illinois, I hate living here.
Kalamazoo Michigan
West Virginia hillbillies are in the house!!!
Not Alabama. Also we just had ANOTHER mass shooting here in Alabama.
This was a gang-related targeted shooting gone wrong in Birmingham. Stay out of the inner cities and you’ll be fine. You all know exactly what I mean.
Cool van ow California . .It is west coast I still lie it .
Colorado has become expensive and crowded. Look at Zillow before you go.
Illinois state motto: "Where our governors make our license plates".
No the Illinois State slogan" Crime, Corruption and Taxes, welcome to Illinois"
@@petebrown3715 How about both?
Yea, Illinois when you go to vote you have to decide - Do I vote for the person I want or vote for the person I want to send to jail. Whoever wins seems to go to prison 😅
Perhaps copied from Louisiana……
"Welcome to Illinois, where Chicago is the real capital."
Good topic, because I’ve been seriously overthinking where to move to.
Wisconsin and New Hampshire are great states!
@@ES-qu1jd
Thanks!
Easy, do you like cold or hot? That will get rid of half the states either way. Budget I would say is next. I second Wisconsin, just moved here from CA and hands down a better state. (Only no mountains)
@@CaptainPaddys If you live in the Driftless region then you get to see the beautiful bluffs Wisconsin has.
@@CaptainPaddys And welcome to Wisconsin! I'm happy to hear you like this lovely state.
I cant believe with Alabama you completly skipped one of the best highlights, anything water , it has over 70,000 miles of creeks and rivers in its borders most beginning and ending in the state, it has the second cleanest lake in America as well as the #1 most diverse aquatic life. It also holds the worlds longest kayak race the Alabama 650 it begins in the north and ends in Mobile bay. Youll love the state if you embrace outdoor life and adventure.
I call Alabama my 2nd home... I used to live down by the Gulf around Dothan... I love it.. my original home is North Carolina (foothills)
@@ozzy7109 it's a good place to have one, esp for second home as it's property taxes are so low so your not getting killed for a vacation place..
I'm partial to central north myself but yes the coastal plains has its places to. In many ways it's like two states the southern half is different than the northern half even the people seem different. Tbh itsl seems most stereotypes come from the southern versions. As they don't really embody Appalachian life styles
@@williammoran4898where’s the good job market and good place to raise kids
@@dawn2508 Huntsville , Birmingham Montgomery or Mobile...each kinda caters to different economic sectors with some over lap or live rural and work at a car manufacturing plant.
Things is what's good pay is subjective to the cost of living. Facts are you don't need to make 6 figures to live a great life.
For those considering it from more higher prices areas it's a win win..plenty sold in say Cali small home no yard for over a million( cuz bought in San Diego 15 yrs ago 800sqft was over a million) come here you can buy a 2000+sqft home with a huge yard for under $300,000 in a very nice area heat schools etc and have enough left over to start the dream of owning a small business..all from just selling a house and moving. Bigger house more yard possibly better schools, plus work for yourself.
@@dawn2508 I'd consider Madison , Mountain Brook , Fairhope, if can afford private school your options broaden more than if dependant on public schools. Like everywhere it's zipcodes dependant as to how good it may or may not be.
It's not hot in the mountains in Arizona. And right now I have my window open. It's 11 pm and it's in the 70s outside. I am in Tucson. We will now have 6 months of great weather.
None of us are alike, luckily we have 50 states to fit with each personality. Don't let stereotypes influence your decision to move. Go and visit the state of intention during various seasons to see if you can live with it. Family with children, check out opportunities for your children and jobs available for you. For someone without kids, school would not be a priority.
That's what we did before we moved to Kentucky, we visited and took a look at the areas we had an interest of moving into before we officially moved.
@@johndeerefan725how do you like it and what part?
@dawn2508 I enjoy the area we moved to. We live in Paducah on the far west side of the state.
😂 I live in Arizona and the last rattlesnake I saw was under my wheelbarrow - right next to my AC unit! Slid a shovel under him, walked to my back fence, and pitched him as far as I could in the wash that runs behind my house.
You're lucky you got away with that
IIlinois and New Jersey have taxes way too high
NYC is expensive as well, and it's enough to bring the whole state of New York down.
I have traveled through Wyoming several times in the motorhome from the west coast to Indiana to visit relatives....I cannot remember a single time passing through Wyoming either going to or coming from where we didnt run into some kind of weather....One time stuck for almost 2 days because I-80 closed due to snow...Have seen it snow there on other occasions also....But the worse by far is the Wind...I have seen it so windy there i thought it might blow the RV over....Its always windy there...Illinois toll roads got to the worst maintained roads around....They suck....
I've been through Wyoming a number of times myself, and you are spot on about the wind. I've lived in Alberta and Colorado, which are both known as being windy places, but nothing compares to the wind in Wyoming. It is also the only state I've ever been "snowed in" at a hotel because a major interstate was shut for snow. Heck, even Alberta, BC, Colorado and South Dakota don't shut down interstates due to snow, and there was only like 2" on the road.
Haha, that’s awesome! "Welcome to Alaska, where daylight is optional!"
Alaska. Most depression in USA
All of us kids loved Alaska -Anchorage has a summer with 23 hour days-had to get used to sleeping with shades - lived there 4 years - was a military brat
@@gracealleman4102 Believe it or not? Oregon is the real most depressed. Because they get WAY TOO MUCH RAIN. And people there don’t care how depressing it is like I do! I should know! Because UNFORTUNATELY! I live there. And I’d move out of that State of Oregon if I had the money to do it. So many people are just Sick, Careless & selfish people that do not care about anyone but themselves. So Alaska could likely be 2nd most depressed. Never been to Alaska! But I can almost safely say they likely aren’t as bad in general.
Summer in Alaska is the best❤
Top 5 states for me:
1) So. California where I live
2) Virginia
3) Florida
4) Massachusetts
5) Hawaii
If I could fix one thing in the US? Cost of living!
Interesting choices. Just curious, of especially CA, VA and MA? All three of them are so different.
@jodiskylar9452 All three have adventurous places with a variety to do and see, and diverse vibrant culture. Coastal states attract me with their beauty and original character. I like the historical atmosphere of VA and MA, and Mass many bookshops, though not used to cold since the time I lived in Jersey as a kid. Now I'm an early retiree looking for different experience. VA is an important national hub with its own allure. One can have fun in CA with little money as I well know; it has a bright vibe despite challenges of mega-sprawl. You're not an outsider in these places as folks from everywhere populate them.
For me right now, it'd be North Carolina, Virginia, Florida, Texas, Washington. but Texas, comes with a big asterisks, its cool because of the diversity and different scenes in the 5 major metros, but it ranks HORRIBLY in education, not the best place to raise kids. plus the garbage electrical grid, but there's alot of reasons that its one of he most loved states in and outside the country.
Top 5 for me:
1: California
2: Hawaii
3: Florida
4: New York
5: Arizona
Most of my favorite states are coastal or the western states (Mainly for beautiful scenery & mountains) or abundant activities.
Perfect Moving to Mexico is great school and Better foods and more😊😊😊😊
Slava TACOs 🌮 Heroyam Burritos 🌯
Better food if you like Mexican food 🙄
I have found the state of confusion suites me the best... 40 years of marriage certainly has made me an expert.😂
AZ it is all by elevation where I live we have seasons lots of farmers and ranchers here and most home school
Briggs, please do this topic more often. A Classic!
Monday just got better.
Thank Denzel
@@WorldAccordingToBriggs welcome. I hope your visit to NYC wasn't a hastle?
It was ok. I was glad to come home
Right great video
Wow. You just described one city in every state and spread that local stereotype across the entire region. I'm assuming you can describe the entire US in one sentence as well. I know that gets you clicks, but try to be better than that. Try to speak from actual knowledge and personal experiences, and not so much from single sentence answers you get in your google searches.
Don’t move to Tacoma WA. IT SUCKS!!!!!!!!!
Military brought me here and I concur. Washington gave up on handling crime and it shows
I'm hoping my next house will be in Charleston West Virginia it's a beautiful state and has a lot of history
The one I was born & raised in. Hawaii.
But fate & destiny has other plans for me. Texas temporally. It's not bad here but it's not home.
Florida here…you left out horse capital of the world, cattle farms and agricultural. North of Orlando the winters are cooler, jacket weather. We also have decent schools and good colleges. We aren’t just beaches and amusement parks. People are friendly here, too!
Absolutely love FL lived there for 11 years and will be moving back soon. Idk how he prefers GA over FL but I’m biased 🫣
Went to a gas station in Wyoming between Cheyenne and the Rockies and got hit up at a gas station by a female, with a van full of dudes, speaking north African accent asking for money. At midnight, in winter. Got the F out of there ASAP. Felt like an ambush.
Nigerian Princes 🤯
Yeh, kinda does. I would have bolted too. I also carry a sidearm. I hope I never have to use it, accept for target practice on paper.
🤨🤔oookkk
Looking for cheap housing and jobs , living in California, its very expensive renter here, jobs are good here
In VA, they took us to plantations and colonial reenactment sites as field trips in elementary school lol. Kinda weird. I live in NC now and always say that I wouldn’t mind moving here if I wasn’t already here. Its not too overwhelming like a NY. Its a swing state so its definitely better living here than SC lol. According to your video, I would also consider living in CO, DE, GA, MD, MA (if i was rich lol.), MI, TX (not Houston but maybe near Dallas or Austin), and maybe Vermont. Utah seemed cool too but maybe just as a vacation spot. Im not sure how they are politically and socially but I sadly have to consider my race lol.
You absolutely can not hike in Texas or Florida. If you enjoy the outdoors DO NOT move to Texas. If you hate traffic, stay out of Dallas and its suburbs. If you love heat, move anywhere in Texas or Florida. If you are poor, good luck in California. The groceries and cost of gas, will kill you.
I am currently living in Oklahoma, but I would love to move back to East Tennessee. My other two choices would be Michigan in rural areas or Wyoming.
Good choices!
I love New Mexico. Empty of people, wide open spaces, beautiful mountains, fascinating dessert.
We tell anyone that will listen not to move here. Its peaceful and we want to keep it that way.
Definitely move to Arizona. Crime in Phoenix is massive... almost everyone is running from the law. 😅
Georgia, Texas, North Carolina, and Tennessee seem like good places to live.
Wisconsin has the "valley" areas for families. Fox valley is Appleton, Neenah, Menasha, Oshkosh, etc. Chippewa Valley is Chippewa Falls and surrounding and the River Valley La Crosse county south along the Mississippi into northern Illinois. Many nice towns and activities for kids to keep them busy. Some towns are stuck up if your family has not been there a few generations but most have a plethora to do and many private schools also if you have a savant.
Plot twist, let's find out.
You should do a video on the best places to see a bigfoot, skookum sasquatch. If you can keep from laughing it would be fun to listen to.
A holler is called a holler because you want to holler down it first so the moon shiners don't shoot.

Washington is gorgeous. I have a cabin in the mountains there to avoid the politics ,but I live in the south so I can afford it
Exactly why we went to idaho.
Has the same charm and mountains as washington, but there isn't half the problems washington has.
@@mariahezeako8603 Based on Best Life's analysis, the ten most corrupt states in the U.S., in order, are: Vermont, Washington, Arizona, Oregon, Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Utah, and Vermont is the most corrupt U.S. state
@@mariahezeako8603 Northern Idaho is amazing. I used to live all over Washington, but I currently live in Oregon. I go to Idaho every summer and am getting ready to visit Silverwood for Halloween.
Ew York State is one of the most beautiful states in the country. You missed the thing. Also I’m now in SC in Greenville. It’s in the Upstate, not the Low Country. Right up next to the foothills. Lots of culture - art, theatre, and waterfalls in the middle of downtown.
How’s the job market and price of houses?
Maine is actually two very different states....the coast, lobsters, and lighthouses are actually "Vacationland" and it even says so on their license plates. The vast majority (and better) part of the state is all north of Bangor. This is "Maine" and is made up of forests, trees, lakes, moose, bears and eagles.
I wonder if "Minnesotan nice" isn't the same thing as "Canadian nice."
Desperately afraid to offend is what I call it..
@@anderander5662 Because if you do, you're in deep shit should anything go wrong during the Winter outside of the Cities. Folks can and will conveniently forget to come to your aid. God forbid anyone you offend also have ins with any government agency with enforcement power of any sort. Go look at all the stories out of Norway and Sweden about how they handle dissidents; that goes on in Minnesota too _because Scandis are Scandis no matter where they go._ Law of Juche is a thing.

How about a list for the least targeted states if a war should break out.
Enjoy your move to Iowa. 😆

@@MrJedi5150 🤣😂🤣😂
Probably south central/eastern Idaho. Stay away from Northern Montana and SE Wyoming, and North Dakota. I’d stay west of major scilos. Those 3 states would be major targets for the missile scilos. Secluded areas away from major cities and air force bases. Tough call though.
Anywhere away from a military base, major city, or natural resource like a big reservoir.
Excellent video Briggs. Thanks for the info.
Michigan do I have a story to tell… Don’t go jogging in muskegon, MI. I white van pulled up to me and a woman yelled from a van Hey Honey! Then the side door opened and this black dude said Get in the Fucking Van! I turned around and sprinted like never before back to my hotel.
Maybe you should be satisfied with where you're at!
Illinois sucks! Highest taxes, have to pay to drive in Chicago land, city stickers, politics (mob) & gangs 😊
@@Jean.A.squirrel not in Chicagoland versus CA. I'm not too familiar with NY as I avoid it
@@colettesintuatives9256 good food
I like Chicago... but hate the taxes and how expensive everything is. I lived on the IL/WI border... Way cheaper on the Wisconsin side. Gas was $5/gal at one point this past summer in Lake County, absolutely insane
Go NC State!!!!!!!! As far as barbecue it is a Carolina thing, it is pork only!!! SC and barbecue is suspect due to their Mustard Sauce!! The rest who say do barbecue are a sad attempt at it and Texas barbecue is grilling!!!
Briggs, what a great idea for a video! Thank you for this!! side note: PLEASE don't say "orientated." The word is "oriented." Edit #2 I'm from Rhode Island. I couldn't leave this without a bit of snark.
... and somewhere, i heard "orientationed"
You need to recheck New Mexico
Dude😢
SC...why not the Upstate? Greenville is nice and is close to the mountains. Also a short drive to Asheville, Charlotte, and Atlanta.
Looking to FL in 27’. Just moved TX in 22’. I like it but I’m ready to move on hopefully better.

Yes, they're in NC on the coast too. Probably not near VA.
FYI, the Phoenix metro area DOES NOT ENCOMPASS THE ENTIRE STATE! Much of Arizona is at higher and cooler elevations with very nice weather.
Thank you Captain Obvious.
Insanity. Been there for decades; it's home. 🥰
I think states that start with the letter "I" seem to be boring.

Just curious, has Briggs traveled to all 50 states?
I have. All but Hawaii more than once. I've lived in 7, Mississippi, California, Oregon, Colorado, Washington, Kansas, Georgia, and Florida for 6 months.
I live in Oregon. It ain't all that.
I want a place that I can actually BREATHE in. So many states have crap air today, sadly. Just go to the American Lung Association State of the Air link --- so sad just how many states have crap air... sad!
Driving back to New England from NY, once you hit NH the huge Pine trees make you breathe deeper than you ever have. Even better in Maine and Vermont.
@@bobchevallier8456 better than the ocean air of Florida or Hawaii?
If you ask Briggs where to move I bet you Oklahoma will not be his answer!!!😂
Arizona white mountains and the SE part of the state are not what is described. He basically just described Phoenix only
Oklahoma government assistance stats are skewed. Oklahoma has a higher percentage of Natives than any other state not named Alaska. Native Americans are the poorest demographic in the country, amd receive a lot of government assistance. Much of which isn't available to European descendents. I get you didn't grow up Native, so you dont understand commodity cheese and USDA walnuts, but it is a thing.
You are so right! That support (of tribal families) entails much of the government assistance in Oklahoma. My family frequently received "commodities" while I was growing up in Cherokee County. Dried beans, flour, powdered milk, etc., but what I remember most is the commodity cheese. I'll never forget that cheese.
@ChadWright-ip8vm I grew up in Locust Grove. My dad was a Chaplin at Hastings. I honestly missed the cheese, it makes the best grilled cheese sandwiches. My wife's mom and dad still get commodity cheese, so I enjoy it when we are down at Stillwell
NOBODY should move to North Carolina !!! Traffic is terrible, bugs bugs bugs !! Overcrowded already. Who wants to spend half their life sitting in traffic ? Did I mention the BUGS ?????
Great informative video! Beautifully filmed!! Ohio here (Cincinnati!) and I agree that there is a very positive buzz here. Just don't want it to become too populated too soon.
Gotta disagree on South Carolina - the Upstate (Greenville County in particular) is fantastic
I watch all of your videos and I feel like Michigan doesn’t get proper representation!! Let’s talk about Southwest Michigan, Grand Rapids, Traverse City etc. everything on the Lake Michigan side of the state!
"Passive aggressive Minnesota nice." Nailed it!
Not passive anymore. Just aggressive 😢 We're moving out!
Washington state is even worse with the passive aggressive nonsense especially in the Seattle area.
Can you do a video about safety/inclusion of trans people? As a trans woman I've really wanted to see Wyoming, but am too concerned about my safety.
I'm exactly where I am supposed to be--Illinois farmland to Tennessee mountains, easy decision.
I really liked this video! My favorite states are Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Delaware, Pennsylvania & Wisconsin.
"The Walmart Museum"
Holy shit Briggs, you weren't joking about Walmart reigning supreme in Arkansas xD
I just moved out of Utah because I was bored to tears.
Moved to Orlando where every day feels like a party (and theme parks everywhere)
