Nowhere east of the mighty Mississip, nowhere north of Missouri except maybe Wyoming, Montana, Idaho or maybe South Dakota. Not the left coast. Thinking there MIGHT be places in Nebraska or Kansas.
Kansas is intriguing, but really just because of my experiences in Wichita. Driving around town looking for a place to have lunch was actually pretty stress-free---almost pleasant. It took me a few days to realize that the reason was that I wasn't behind a f^$*#@* truck everywhere I went, like it is down here.
If my wife thought differently I'd probably pack up and head for Nevada where no one else wants to go. Maybe even Utah.
I'll probably just live out my life right here in Texas unless something either really great or something really weird happens.
Don't be the darkness.
America will perish while those who should be standing guard are satisfying their lusts.

No place that has chiggers, or venom snakes that don't rattle! No place where you need to lease a hunting area, because there is no public land to accommodate hunters. I've shot a lot of rattlesnakes that never rattled. FWIW

All the others..........except maybe MT or WY.

Never say never. Things can happen outside your control that cause you to do what you previously thought impossible.

The absolute worst would be New Jersey IMO.
Gun laws and urban sprawl as bad or nearly as bad as any of the other far left states but with absolutely nothing going for it.
Hawaii at least has great weather and beautiful beaches. CA might be the second worst but it has some scenic beauty and interesting climates. NY has the cachet of being world known and the Catskill and Adirondack Mountains. I can’t think of a thing to like or want to go see in NJ.

Nothing blue or pretty damn cold. Probably stands for south of the MD line. pretty easy to chose.
Some damn fine folks I've met in places that just get to cold for me.

No where that boarders an ocean. No where that boarders Mexico. No where that shuts down for a week over 2" of snow. Fuck Iowa. Fuck Illinois.
Whats that leave? If it wasn't for the beer, why would anyone ever go to Wisconsin ?? kwg Road America hillstadt.... are you excluding Alaska, which has more coastline than the rest of the US put together? We are also the farthest eastern, western, and northern state, which is pretty cool. Largest of course - pick your starting point and direction, there are at least two different ways to travel 1500 miles in a straight line and only be half-way across the state. Problem is, for awhile there it was filling up- must have 750,000 people. Now , I think, we are losing population. Just not fast enough.

States You Would NEVER Live In What about the U.S. permanently inhabited territories? American Samoa Guam Northern Mariana Islands Puerto Rico U.S. Virgin Islands

I am pleased with Texas and Idaho so the rest are moot.

Lots of great places to live. New England, the south, PNW…..I’d probably skip much of the mid west. Western Dakotas and Nebraska are cool though. I could do that.
Shame CA is so politically perverted. It would hands down be my #1 choice.
As it is, I’ll happily make SC work. I’d like to be in a place to split time in the future.

I could live anywhere with decent hunting, good fishing, and good economic opportunities.
What's amazing to me is how many people live in areas, wish for something better, but don't do what they have available. Doers tend to do stuff no matter where they are at. And people who make excuses and don't really get out much do the exact same thing no matter where they are.
