Mass, perfect climate(usually), Boston is a smaller version of NYC, the cape is a great vacation spot, we have 2 great sports teams(Sox and Pats) and its close enough to good skiing up north

Not new york. Trust me.

As far as just living and being in a nice place. Wisconsin gets my vote(Milwaukee, Madison).

New York. Good climate, biggest and most important city in the world (argueably), has skiing and beaches, has urban and rural areas, goes from canada to new jersey. New York has almost everything any other state has but more

Washington has seattle (huge business district while NY has one too) which is smaller, so more local. Much friendlier atmosphere. Less racism.
Has beaches and bigger mountains than NY will ever have.
WA also has a hot area and a rainy area. It basically owns all states.

definitely a state on the west coast. It would be either Washington because it's chill and relaxed, amazing skiing, same for Oregon but the skiing's not as good, or California because it has warm sunny beaches, big towns, and good skiing too.

never been there but i think it has to be california. it just has endless possibilities. it has good skiing, and then it also has great weather in so cal. it has alot of cities that i think would be great. only downside i see to california is that its so close to mexico, so theres probably alot of immigrants

Your an idiot to say that, because for THOUSANDS, maybe even millions, of years the Adirondacks were the largest mountain range on this earth, which is more than you can say about the mountains in Washington.

Have you even been anywhere besides Washington for any amount of time? I think you'd have to atleast visit 10 or more states to have a valid opinion on this subject.

i agree 100%. add to it that new york has history. the states on the west coast wernt settled until nearly 100 years after new york became a state. we were an important player in the making of this country which makes us a much better state to have pride in.

Where in New York did you live? I've been in Albany for the past 12-13 or so years and it sucks. I've liked every place I've been to for 10+ days much better than here.

California-we have the best weather and among the most variety in environments, from mountains to deserts to forests of all kinds and 7-800 miles of beaches and good surf. We have two of the US's most important and influential cities (SF and LA), both urban and rural areas, we have Tahoe and Mammoth, we have some of the best agriculture in the US but also have hotbeds for technology/science (SF has all the stem cell research, Silicon Valley, and all the work the UC's do). Ya, I would say California is the best.

Cali is good because of its diverse climate but it has San Fransico and other places where people are weird.

I would go with Colorado because of the amount of ski areas, colleges, cities, climate, and diverse terrain.

It depends what you want...

Alaska for outdoor life, because they have ridiculous terrain, and so much of everything. If you want it, you can find it and hike, ski, climb, etc. it.

I think the Boston area would be good for raising a family, mainly because the education in the area is so sick, and there is a relatively varied climate for such a small area.

If this thread is simply a matter of opinion (which it is) then Washington could compete with NY. However in any quantifiable sense NY blows the lid off of Washington. In fact, Manhattan alone makes Washington look about as useful as a icecube in the tundra.
