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?
Texas is full of pissed of GOP’s that are all hot headed and strapped. The excessive heat isn’t helping much.
Have you ever visited Texas? Check out Austin and Dallas. Very different than what you’d expect based on the news.
I live in Austin, the good isn’t good enough for me to want to stay. As soon as my kids are done with high school, I’m looking for somewhere else to live.
Depends on the part of Dallas. Some of the suburbs are very conservative (Southlake is an awful place for example).
I’m not from the US, but visited Dallas in 2009. I remember myself and a couple of friends from the area going into a Waffle House.
First thing I saw was a sign on the door saying to leave your guns outside. When we walked in, there was a haggard old waitress with a smokers rasp going “what can I git ya?” and a mulleted stoner in the kitchen with a thousand yard stare. It was like I’d walked into the set of a movie and while we had breakfast my mates were quite amused at how… roadstop I kept saying it was.
Kept waiting for a trucker named Bubba to walk in.
Also in AR a waitress asked me if we had boats in our country, another swore up and down that she had seen me on some Australian renovation show on cable, and while watching TV an episode of Aussie Gold Hunters had subtitles for the Australians even though they were speaking clear as day English.
The South is bizarre.

Depends on where you go in Dallas. With all the megachurches and conversion camp HQs around the metroplex, it’s also known as an evangelical Christian hotspot.
Not as hot as it sounds?
