I can understand #1 of Hawaii the others though.... Although maybe Utah, it was an interesting state when we drove through it and there are so many National Parks to explore, that would make me happy.

I mean, I like living in Maryland. Some of us are really obsessed with being from here. Go on the FB group "Maryland is a Cult. Not a State" if you ever want to see our lunacy 🤣.

We don't have too crazy weather here. We have some of the best access to healthcare in the US, which is a huge deal, including mental healthcare (which probably also affects that rating). The state is pretty well run. We've got plenty to do to keep you occupied, between DC, Baltimore, and Annapolis, a long with more outdoorsy stuff. People here are generally friendly, more comparable to the Midwest than elsewhere on the east coast. We tend to be pretty diverse, and most people are pretty tolerant of others. Most people don't talk politics except with people they know well, so it helps keep the peace (you'll still find people who put signs up and who you know their opinion, but the vast majority of people keep it to themselves).

The worst thing about living here is sometimes it's a bit cold for me, and our cost of living is a bit high.

I'll be the judge of that...

Hawaii... Seems like a nice place to visit but I wouldn't want to live there. Nice weather but I do believe I would become claustrophobic with no ability to have a road trip that lasts over an hour.

Utah... Never been, I'll have to take your word for the happiness degree.

The rest are judged by how I felt years ago when I passed through them in route to WDW.

Maryland didn't take long to drive through on I-95 which made me happy.

Delaware also didn't take long to drive through. I believe the you are now entering sign and you are now leaving sign were on the same post. That made me happy.

New Jersey, what can I say. The curse of having a land mass that is three times longer (north to south) than it is wide makes for an almost never ending time to drive through. That made me frustrated.

Then I'd get to NC and SC that really cover more land than they deserve. But that is a completely different story for another time. At least one could wile away the drive hours by singing "🎶Nothing could be finer than to me in Carolina in the morning🎶". What could you sing while in New Jersey other than "🎵We got to get out of this place if it's the last thing we ever do🎵".

Sorry, I just couldn't help myself. Joisey is a very nice place, new or old. I didn't see any Gardens in the Garden State, but they must have gotten that moniker from someplace.

We also have well maintained roads and no billboards on highways. Billboards have to be attached to a building. So you don't see them here. Makes it so much nicer.

Vermont has been like that since 1968 but buildings were only allowed if that sign was to identify whatever business that the building housed. Any large sign had to be mobile. People with old retired freight trailers had a field day. They could park them where they would be visible from the highway but had to be sitting on tires and be able to be moved instantly if needed. That left very little places to put them except deep in a farmers field where decent eyesight was required.
