posty 2,296 Posted August 22, 2019 Really? They needed to do a survey for that? https://www.foxnews.com/travel/new-york-ranked-least-friendly-america-survey If you’re looking to see some friendly faces, you apparently shouldn’t head to The Empire State. In a survey conducted by travel website Big 7 Travel, 1.5 million people weighed in on the “friendliest states in America” — and New York ranked dead last. Though Big 7 Travel tried to soften the blow with an explainer — “locals might seem a bit gruff at first (even upstate!), but it’s a melting pot of many cultures and the neighborhoods in each borough of NYC have a community feel if you manage to stick it out for long enough” — it was clear that the majority of Americans do not consider the Big Apple as a nice place to visit. It seemed to be a trend with the Northeast, as four of the bottom five states were all found in the region: Delaware, Massachusetts and New Jersey ranked 48, 47 and 46, respectively. The top five were a little more spread out, however. Wyoming ranked fifth with voters pleased with its “sense of community” and “safe” feeling. Texas took the fourth spot, bested by South Carolina in third. Tennessee continued the trend of Southern hospitality and took the second spot. But, in what may come as a surprise to the South, a Midwest state was crowned with the top spot: Minnesota was ranked No. 1 as the friendliest state in America. According to the survey, the North Star State is “hard to match, with a homey feel and locals who go the extra mile to welcome tourists.” “It’s called ‘Minnesota Nice’ for a reason.” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fandandy 3,311 Posted August 22, 2019 I think if you live on either coast for a specified amount of time, maybe ten years, you should never be allowed to move inland. We need to keep flyover country pure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Djgb13 2,338 Posted August 22, 2019 There’s a reason why no one retires to the north. Everyone retires to the south. People are nicer and have more common sense than the people in the north.

peenie 1,690 Posted August 22, 2019 If you work in the North you get paid well and therefore can afford to live in the North. You live in the South you will get paid crappy, but your crappy pay still allows you to live well. Live in the North where it's cold and where people are mean and distrusting or live in the South where it's warm and people don't have to bother with distrust cause they carry firearms.

I’ve seen people with crappy jobs down here actually making a decent living. The crappy jobs still pay you well enough to own multiple cars, a boat, 4 wheelers, deer stands, hunting lands, multiple guns, etc. In the north, those same jobs would have people living in poverty 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TBayXXXVII 2,117 Posted August 22, 2019 The problem with these types of polls, is that they're ranking locals based on tourists. Meaning, if you visit NY and go to the tourist attractions, you're constantly surrounded by tourists. How can you possibly judge a state's friendliness based on the tourists?
