Most Expensive States to Live in 2023

[Independent thinker]

It is.

Then you are part of the problem, according to the left. You don't deserve what you have because you are privileged and should immediately turn over your wealth to the poorer or the government.

The left just wants other people's wealth... leave theirs alone

The best always costs more.

What is best about NYC.?

 

[rightwinger]

Yes exactly!

States that throw out regulations that apply to zoning are much more desirable and much more expensive for land.

Don't go there is you want to live next door to a fish plant or a steel mill.

One of my major complaints in the Red States I have visited

They just don’t care

There is no city planning, no significant public structures, homeowners can do whatever they want, roads and infrastructure are bare bones.

Schools invest more in their Football Stadiums than their classrooms.

It's always been amazing for me to watch the Hollywood/Democratic connection. As long as Hollywood and it's actors pay their dues to the Democratic party, they are never attacked as being greedy one percenters.

NYC is like a rose. Some very nice points for one flower, surrounded by hundreds of thorns.

I see you totally avoided my questions regarding the things you previously mentioned, changing the subject. Care to take another try at the questions I actually asked?

 

[OhPleaseJustQuit]

No

In General, Blue States invest more in education, healthcare, infrastructure, public services , mass transit ….

More importantly, Blue states have stricter zoning, labor and environmental laws

It might look that way from your trailer park.

I don't doubt that's all quite true. This entire thread was ill-advised, as it only reveals the opposite of the OP's intent.

But at least it's not spammed out of existence before some valid points are made.

Here are the 10 states with the highest cost index:

1. Hawaii - 193.3
2. New York - 148.2
3. California - 142.2
4. Massachusetts - 135
5. Oregon - 130.1
6. Alaska - 127.1
7. Maryland - 124
8. Connecticut - 121.6
9. Rhode Island - 117.2
10. Vermont - 117

Four of those are among the top six in wealth gap disparity.

I'd never base where I want to live on taxes. One lives where they want to.

One lives where the jobs are.

It is only the best if you are a welfare queen. It sucks for those that have to pay for it.

How so?

 

[Blues Man]

You get what you pay for

No you don't.

What's the difference between the electricity you buy in one state vs that of another?

What's the difference in the loaf of bread you buy in one state vs that of another?

I was just reading that electricity rates just doubled in CT and they were already in the top 3 most expensive

 

[Independent thinker]

One lives where the jobs are.

And a lot of people just live where they were born or grew up, where their friends and family are.

It’s the Center of the Universe.

Not my universe.

Those kids aren't going to abort themselves... that godless shit costs money...

But you do get a premium tarp to huddle under and they say the grilled rat in those blue shitholes is to die for..... literally.

I'm surprised New Jersey actually lost to Vermont. Vermont didn't used to be like that. My uncle has lived there since the seventies and I've been there many times. I've seen the change.
