This is actually fascinating, I might do one of these again
A few questions:
Why is Maryland in A tier? (I personally love the state, just curious)
What makes Rhode Island A and Delaware D?
West Virginia being last kinda makes me sad, why’d you do it 
Also if you have any other particular strong opinions explaining certain states tell me I think it’s fun
Maryland is A because Baltimore, generally seems like a pretty cool state.
Delaware has nothing notable about it - Rhode Island is the smallest state and also has the chicken.
West Virginia is generally considered the worst state - poorest state, biggest GDP drop, all one political party (not that I necessarily disagree with said party - any state that is consistently one is a toxic place to live if you’re not the same), has some of the worst education etc.
Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota get S because I’ve been there multiple times and it is some of my best memories (I also live in Wisconsin). Michigan is beautiful, and Minnesota (Duluth) is my favorite city.
D tier is mostly states I don’t necessarily dislike, but rather meh states. Besides New Jersey. That state just shouldn’t exist.
Usually when I hear people mention Baltimore it’s negative things but the inner harbor area is cool. I love the eastern and western parts of Maryland, Annapolis is also such a nice little town.
Can confirm there’s not much notable in Delaware other than being first, it’s more of the same of its surroundings really.
I probably have a bias because of where I grew up, but stats aside West Virginia is actually a great place to visit. Mississippi for example has a lot of the same issues, but it doesn’t have the wonderful mountains and nature. I’m actually considering moving there at some point since the cost of living would be lower.
Agreed on New Jersey. In the south there are some nice beaches, but you can find that all along the coast. No reason to go.
NC
it has both mountains and beaches
it has a lot of recent growth and stuff
everyone’s moving here
AZ
it has the grand canyon
it doesn’t have daylight savings time
it’s really hot but it’s only “dry heat” lol
yeah those are the only reasons
South Dakota is a sleeper pick but I agree
North Carolina is S tier though. It is at least one level higher than South Carolina.
name something notable about NC. have you ever been to south dakota (also one of my best memories is from there so ofc it’s one of my favorites)
Yeah I went to South Dakota, I wouldn’t put it in S tier, but it is really underrated
NC has incredible nature, it has mountains and the beach, (somewhat) competitive politics, and is generally a good place to live, it has some of the fastest growing cities in America for a reason.
NC is not the peak for visiting (except maybe the mountains) but if you want to live somewhere, it’s gonna be one of the best states in America
