Would you rather live in Mississippi or Florida?

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

If Florida can't win in this poll, it can't win in any.

Most important parts of Mississippi are obviously the delta and river, the Memphis burbs, Jackson, Biloxi/Gulfport and the rest of the Gulf Coast. Competes with West Virginia for last in quality of life.

I’ll say Florida this time.  Neither state has anywhere with a decent climate, so might as well go with the one that isn’t Mississippi.

Florida. Mississippi is impoverished and more "southern" which would be a culture shock. Florida's big enough so that even I can find somewhere tolerable.

If you live in the Jackson or Memphis suburbs or on most of the Coast, you'd never know any difference from similar areas in other Southern states. The (somewhat true, somewhat overblown) stereotypes about the state aren't based on those areas.

[Mr. Smith]

Still not Florida.

Yeah, but you have generic suburbs in Florida, too. They don't even feel particularly Southern, they feel just American - you can find the same types of malls and neighborhoods just about anywhere in the country.

Yeah I could live in Florida if I needed to and probably have basically the same life I have now, with similar friends and peers. That's going to be true for most people and every state.

If I'm being serious, Florida wins this one.

If not, then take it away Bugs!

Mississippi and Alabama are the only states that invariably lose to Florida in a poll for me.

For Arkansas and Louisiana, I might have to flip a coin, but all other states easily beat Florida for me.

[John Dule]

I think I'd rather live in Florida than Mississippi, North Carolina, Virginia, or Alabama. Tennessee, Arkansas, Louisiana, and South Carolina are all better. With Georgia it would depend upon which area of the states we're talking about.

[Hammy]

Both suck, still not Florida--at least Mississippi would be new, rather than returning to the same sh**thole I spent 30 years trying to get out of

[Progressive Pessimist]

Is living in the Mississippi river an option?

NC and Virginia are boss!

I'd obviously prefer to live in Mississippi for personal reasons, but Florida has a lot more going on.

Virginia is one of the most soulless places on the planet. Its only remotely interesting areas are in Appalachia.

Virginia? North Carolina? Lmao.

It is currently 56 degrees in the Memphis area while it is 80 degrees in Miami.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Warm weather climates have expensive rents NY, CA, DC, NV, AZ, and FL are the most expensive places to live and why migrants get on Section 8 vouchers due to kids while others are stuck paying market rate rent

I hate hot weather, so I will always choose the state with the cooler climate. As hot as Mississippi is, it is not as hot as Florida. Mississippi for me.

Yeah but it’s got places like NoVA which are definitely tolerable.

That's the soulless part. Yeah, there are definitely some cool things in DC proper, but NoVA itself is horrible. And North Carolina is absolute sh**t - Charlotte sucks, and the Triangle is vastly overrated because it's cheap. Again, some vaguely interesting bits in the mountains, but who actually wants to live there.

Northern Virginia is the reason that Virginia is America's worst state.

Isn't NoVA the blue part of Georgia? Am I confusing it with something else?

What does that have to do with anything?
