I’m aware that, at the moment, Florida is deemed unsafe for people to travel to, but what is generally the worst state to live in? Factors such as education, religious extremism, crime, cost of food, healthcare, and access to other resources are relevant. Will “Deep South” states remain one of the worst places to live in due to traditionalism, or are more progressive states bound to grow worse?

    I live in Louisiana, can confirm. Median income is less than 50k a year. The legislature doesn’t really want to fix anything or tax big business. The parishes relies on federal dollars to move the needle because they can’t get much of anything out of the state and local tax dollars only go so far. The state is now losing 20k people a year since 2020.
