Gotta disagree. There are many towns in louisiana that would be fun as hell to live in if you were rich. The most obvious is new orleans.

Hell, Having lived in new orleans, id rather be rich in new orleans than rich in boston. Way more fun.

The music, food, social connection, and more relaxed approach to existence seals the deal, for me.

Some years ago my wife, before she was my wife, and I were dining outdoors at a nice restaurant when she suddenly shrieked and jumped out of her seat while swatting at her skirt. I leaned over to watch a massive cockroach scurrying away. Other than that, N'awlins was a helluva time!

> What having the highest GDP means for Massachusetts

> All of this is good news for Massachusetts. Svec said high incomes typically correlate with high rankings on other measures of quality of life, such as economic opportunity and health outcomes.

This is an important fact that should not be overlooked IMO

Yeah, and half our state is employed there and the other half is funded by massholes. This is a good thing for a rural small government state.

To the best approximation the per capita asshole rate everywhere is one.

I lived in MA for four years before moving to NH and I must say, the stereotypes are true. Most people I met in MA were rude and seemingly had a “we’re better than you attitude.” On multiple occasions I was told that I was stupider than someone simply because I didn’t go to school in MA. Now NH, on the other hand, has some of the most pleasant people I’ve ever met. People here seem very humble and friendly

Much appreciated. Obviously not everyone I met was an asshole, but while I did meet my fair share of them in MA, I have yet to meet one in NH

Anyone have any idea why CA ranks lower than NH for tax burden? I find that very hard to believe, even with high property taxes.

Prop 13 in CA means old people, who own more than half of residential properties, have vastly lower property tax rates than we do.

"what it means for us" is that they literally dump their trash in our state.

How is GDP being confused with income? This article is babble. MA does not have the highest GDP (in the real definition of GDP - Gross Domestic Product) that's California - which at one time was in the top 10 GDPs in the world.

I think you missed “per capita”

Thanks! That would explain it. Per Capita I can see it - GE headquarters, Raytheon headquarters (for now) tons of DoD, pharma and tech.....
