<p>Best & worst for WHAT? </p>
<p>I think HI could be both best & worst, depending on what we're ranking. HI is one of the friendliest places I've ever been, bar none. It's also one of the most expensive, especially the housing & food prices. It's public ed system needs significant improvement but it's private ed system is incredible. Can you tell, it's a place of contrasts? In terms of natural beauty, few places can compete with HI.</p>
<p>Maine's pretty good, except nothing happens up here. If you want peace and quiet in a beautiful setting, there's nowhere better.</p>
<p>Best:

2) Maryland
3) New York</p>

1) North Dakota
2) Montana
3) Hawaii</p>

<p>My great home state of Tennessee is a nice place, man. Nashville was voted one of the most smartest cities recently; because of housing, employoment, taxes, and quality education.</p>
<p>I love how all of you name the low pop. states as the worst. How many of you besides me have actually been to the Dakotas, Montana, Wyoming?</p>

<p>Very true, MerlinJones, very true.
To everyone- btw, unless you've been to that state and have lived there for a period of over a month or so, I wouldn't rank them as best or worst. Besides, this thread's posters are biased. (like me! :p )
.-_-.</p>
<p>I ranked Tennessee low because I hate the Vols. lol</p>
<p>Best:
Montana
California
New York
Mass.</p>
<p>Worst
Michigan
Iowa
New Mexico</p>
<p>Best is Minnesota, hands down. It may be cold but the people are warm :D</p>
<p>If you've been there, you'll understand why Minnesota rocks. And yes I've only been there once and I live as far away from there as you can imagine, so I'm pretty impartial :D</p>
<p>How the hell do people think Michigan is the best state? Dying economy, high unemployment, and Detroit/Flint - those are three huge negatives.</p>
