That same article rated Iowa as #1 which surprised me because Iowa seems to stay below the radar.
Iowa now has bragging rights; Iowa #1 & California at the bottom.

Friend of mine lives in Silicon Valley; one of those rich guys. He and his wife are completely clueless about the standard of living outside their little area. They would be enraged if they read that article and call it a bunch of lies.

Seriously China .
I heard Nebraska ranked high on that list also and both Iowa and Nebraska are great places to live but they have they're issues too.
I just can't see anyone from cali coming here just because of the climate .
Omaha and des Moines have most of the same problems Any other urban area does and it's not getting better and an urban Californian wouldn't last an hour in outstate agricultural community cause they would be wineing about the smell of feedlots .
Signs up in lots of counties that say " ag friendly county " ...and won't they won't take kindly to Cali people telling em otherwise .

Found it funny California wants to fight Trump’s border wall , yet wants their section first ! Sanctuary state wants the other states to be flooded with illegals ?

California has worst quality of life among U.S. states according to study by U.S. News.
Awards season is in full swing in California, and the Golden State just took home a booby prize of its own.
California ranks dead last among U.S. states in quality of life, according to a study by U.S. News, ranking behind New Jersey (49th) and Indiana (48th).
The ignominious honor reflects California's low marks in the sub-categories of environmental quality and social engagement. The latter category measures voting participation and community bonds.
Californians scored poorly in part because they're simply insufferable, U.S. News suggested.
"In addition to a healthy environment, a person's quality of life is largely a result of their interactions with those around them," the magazine wrote in a blurb accompanying the results.
One way to measure quality life is whether residents can even afford to have a roof over their heads, and by that standard, California is failing.

POST-BANKRUPTCY CALIFORNIA CITY TESTS 'UNIVERSAL' INCOME FOR RESIDENTS
A 2017 Harvard University report said that one-third of renters in the Los Angeles area are "severely rent burdened," meaning they spend at least half their income on housing. The median rent for a one-bedroom apartment in Los Angeles County has increased 67%, according to Zillow's Rent Index, the Los Angeles Times reports.
Homelessness has surged a stunning 75 percent in the last six years, the Los Angeles Times reports, and there are now at least 55,000 homeless people in the county.
U.S. News ranked each state in seven other areas, which were weighted based on a survey that determined their importance to the public: health care, education, economy, opportunity, infrastructure, crime and corrections, and fiscal stability.

Regarding its budget, California does have a balanced budget under Gov. Jerry Brown, a Democrat, but the Standard & Poor's rating agency recently warned that the good times won't last.
"California's finances are roaring back," the agency's report said. "History would suggest, however, that any fiscal renaissance will be temporary."
If the stock market shifts from gains to losses, Standard & Poor's said, the budget could be negatively impacted in a major way because about half of the state's revenue comes from the wealthiest 1% in California.
California finished No. 43 in fiscal stability, No. 46 in opportunity, and No. 38 in infrastructure. It posted relatively high marks in health care (11th), economy (4th), and crime and corrections (28th).
California ranked No. 32 among all U.S. states overall, behind New York (25th), New Jersey (19th), and Florida (15th).
Which state has the best quality of life?
Iowa, which scored highly in infrastructure and health care, took the top spot overall.

I call BS!
These lazy people are just too smart.
Where are you wanting to be homeless?
Chicago?
Baltimore?
Atlanta?
