Quality of life is a major factor in where Americans choose to work, live and make major purchases including homes. These states are the nation's worst.
yeah I mean I would consider myself left of most of the Democratic party but you can take a look at their weightings on the metrics they used and you can see why they got the answer they did even if we’d quibble about specific state placement.
cost of doing business and business friendliness collectively makeup 20% of their weighting and cost of living and education only make up 7% total.
seems like on a list that focuses on inclusivity that they would also focus on basic needs for families but for some reason they valued basic needs for businesses at 3x families.
overall, I think in order to trust this list, I would need to lower focus on businesses and increase focus on things such as education and immigration. Texas would do poorly in both of those things but so would a lot of other states. I definitely believe it deserves a place on this list, but I don’t think it would end up #1.
