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.
I grew up on the East Coast and have traveled a lot over the decades.
Yes, the East Coast is full of assholes. Mostly because people don’t feel the need to fake that they love everyone. The cashier at the Wawa’s will be pretty open that she does not want to be there and just wants you to pay and leave. Rather than plastering on a fake smile and asking you how wonderful your day was so that you can do the same and pretend you are the happiest person on the planet.
The result being that when someone actually is “nice” to you, they actually are being nice.
Speed limits annoy the piss out of me but you also tend to not drive for long featureless stretches for an hour at a time.
