Topic	Whats your least favorite state in the Union?
CyborgSage00x0 05/31/23 2:38:38 PM #26:	Ozmose posted... Worst homelessness. Only by absolute #, but even per population, it is indeed among the top 3. That said, it's also a very proactive state when it comes to address the issue. Ozmose posted... Highest taxes. Depends on what you mean. Their income and sales tax tends to be high, while property tax is quite low, and they are about average in excise taxes. As an aggregate, likely top 5, which is pretty much not unexpected for the richest/biggest state. Ozmose posted... Highest housing prices. Hawaii is actually number 1, but CA seems to be #2. Again, makes sense, given it's a state everyone wants to live in with a massive population. Your milage will vary, of course: housing prices in SF and LA don't come close to resembling cheaper prices away from the coast. Income to house prices is a better aggregate to use. Ozmose posted... Highest illiteracy rate. Statistics are all over the place with this, but no, California is not the top on this - most South states and NM are far worse. Interesting, most studies show all Mexican border states rank low, which is of little surprise - on the question of English literacy, all states with high Latino immigrant populations fare poorly, and CA has the largest population of such by far. So, moot point anyways. Ozmose posted... Most stupid laws and regulations. Pretty generic claim and would need to be more specific. Ozmose posted... Crime through the roof. False. Be it violent, property, of a mix of the 2, CA is average when it comes to that. Especially with violent crime. "crime through the roof" states are almost entirely all Red states. Ozmose posted... Atrocious land and resource management. Again, pretty broad claim that would need more specifics. --- PotD's resident Film Expert. <cite>CyborgSage00x0 posted [p:973837361] in Whats your...
