I've driven in all of these states. It's Rhode Island. PA and MA have some rough roads, but at least some towns and cities there take care of them. Delaware roads are great all around. NY and NJ have rough city roads, but great highways. Rhode Island is just a mess.
I’m a native New Yorker and now live in PA, and I honestly think the “rudeness” in the northeast can be correlated to the weather and lack of sunshine 😔it makes us cranky
On the other hand, Holly, would you really like to live in Arizona, for example, where every day, all the time, the weather is the same? I think I would develop an allergy to sunshine, seeing it all the time, and every darned day. We need some variety in our weather, sunshine and rain
@@jeffreyhawthornegoines8727 Yeah for sure, I mean I’m not complaining, I love the northeast. Just saying the long periods of dreariness has its effects.
Having lived in both Massachusetts and New Hampshire, I’d say your final results are terribly flawed. Never met a single soul fleeing New Hampshire for Massachusetts, I’ve met hundreds going the other direction.
Because of the absurdly cost of living exacerbated by white NIMBY homeowners and then retirees. If people had a chance, they would live in Massachusetts 100 times.
"Rudeness" is really a matter of perspective. People living in the northeast don't consider each other rude. We're just not effusively friendly. We think that's fake. The polite thing to do in the northeast is to keep a respectful emotional distance if we're not family or friends. You're being a little bit rude if you presume you're allowed to overstep that boundary.
A bit late to this one but I guess that the algorithm brought me here. I think that people (especially from the south) tend to correlate terseness with rudeness. In the South, certain formalities may be expected from a person such as saying "yes sir/ma'am" after a request or striking an informal conversation with some random people. This doesn't exist in the North, where one is just expected to just say the bare minimum to get the job done. In tandem, in the north, I've noticed that people who keep on rambling on and on are treated as "more bluster than substance", with results being put more onto the forefront. That doesn't mean that they are rude or unfriendly, for when I moved to a village upstate NY, the locals really helped me out with finding areas to shop and loaning out their snow removal equipment. This is coming from someone who has spent time in both North Carolina and upstate NY.
@@galanopouloc i think of it more of a pace of life, down south life is slow as hell. I went to Wilson NC with my girlfriend to visit her family and it was so different then anything I’ve ever experienced. I’m from New Jersey we live on top of eachother. Everything down there in NC was so spaced out it was crazy to me. There were no houses with 2 stories every house was a 1 story trailer. Every house. It was the windiest place I’ve ever been I guess because the lot his house sits on is like 15 acres. I remember taking his truck up to the local dollar store to grab some vegetable oil and I’m used to rude people up here in jersey but the lady at the dollar store caught me so off guard with how long she was talking. Asking me if I’m from here, how long I’m visiting, how I met my girlfriend all this shit and if I was back home I would take it as this person is having a boring shift and is trying to waste my time to make their shift more fun to have someone to talk to, but being in the south I had to just sit thru the conversation and be nice when in reality In my head I’m like holy shit lady can I please just purchase my oil and leave I appreciate the kindness but you guys are just so damn slow down here I can’t handle it😂
Yeah, it's not being rude, it's just when you're from a big city, you just lose your emotional capacity for strangers very quickly in life. But if you truly see someone who needs help or need help yourself, you rarely hesitate to offer it.
It kind of depends on where you're from as well. I'm from northern New Hampshire, we're kind of a halfway between the southern mentality and the NYC/Boston mentality. I noticed that in Boston and Manchester, I'm seen as being overly friendly and innocent like Anne Of Green Gables whereas in the south I'm seen as too blunt and assertive.
Not that surprising. Most people in the northeast aren't that rude, they're just blunt and fast-paced. Step outside of the major cities and it's a nice place.
I moved to Rhode Island from Massachusetts, it’s not nearly as bad as you’re making it out to be. And people up here tend to over rate their intellect. By a lot.
I love Rhode Island. I was in Middletown 3 weeks ago and I really enjoyed the people there. Very friendly and helpful. I would definitely go back to visit
Rhode Island was more industrial than eastern Connecticut & southern Massachusetts. But, I found Newport a decent place to stop at. Western RI is the country side.
It kinda depends on the region. Within NY, there are two extremely distinct regions- Upstate and NYC Metro. Correct me on this, but I’m pretty sure NYC is more agreeable to New Jersey than Upstate- so it is more like New Jersey+NYC vs Upstate NY I wholeheartedly love both states
I live in NH, and my arguments are this: Are Maryland and Delaware really in the Northeast? I feel the "rudeness" of NH is overexaggerated by other New England states vacationing/coming to NH, most natives I know are amazing people. While NH isn't known for any food specifically, being in between Mass, Maine, Vermont, etc we have a conglomerate of delicious foods without a "specialty dish". I almost value that more. The rest seems fine to me though.
That really depends who you ask, from most things are researched MD is considered by most as part of the South. But I damn sure know once you’re in Pennsylvania, you DAMN sure are in the northeast. 😂😂😂😂😂
I was born in Southern California (too crowded/expensive) moved to Phoenix (too hot) now living in Rhode Island for a year...and I love it in Rhode Island.
Heeeyy! I still live in South Cali but I've been staying im Rhode Island for schooling. I have to positively say that I really do like it here in RI. A completely different vibe but when comparing LA to Providence it's a lot more tame in terms of the crazy things I've seen. The worst thing thats happend to me is someone throwing a glass bottle at me and my friend walking back to our school but it still feels safer than trying to take a bus or train in downtown LA.
@@KarinaRodriguez-ij5zb i miss kickass Southern California. It was definitely THE #1 place to be/live & party both nationally & globally, from late 1960s to early 1990s. Miss that wild crazy supersunny place.....
I kind of think of Maryland as a mid-atlantic state...not a NE state (probably Delaware too actually). Anyway...I enjoyed watching as always...but I have to disagree on the weather thing...I like snow.
He got it wrong the reason we don’t have snow though. It’s because when everyone living in western Maryland goes to ocean city for vacation brings back too much nice weather from the eastern shore. 😇😇😇
Delawarean here: I think this is a good state to retire in; good roads, access to big cities without big city life, access to the beach, but not a lot of entertainment. I think Delaware is better than ranked, in my opinion, but like I said, it's a good place to retire. If you wanna have a good life full of experience and fun, Delaware isn't it. But it's overall a pretty chill place to be.
I agree 100%. Moved to Middletown from NJ and I have 0 regrets. It's just Jersey enough to me: Wawas, Dunkin Donuts and the culture is the same as South Jersey. Less drama.
It is...only Trenton is unsafe. NJ is top 10 for safest states..about 7. Philly had 500 murders, and all three cities combined had less than 100. Philly is a dump though..
@@weldin Camden has the lowest violence rate it has in 50 years. They redid the police dept and hired qualified people. It has went through mega change. NJ has less crime per capita because those are isolated, and those cities have redone the police force to decrease the crime. There are 9.3 million in NJ, but had only 273 murders...that is half of Chicago and Philly cities alone. People love to hate on achievements but there is a reason for low crime....there is low poverty, high educated people, it is the richest state, best public schools, has the best university, and first in STEM research....einstein, edison paved the way.
People in RI take the worst parts of the New York and Boston accents. Have one of them say “coffee”. “Cauwfee” dear God. And they like to sprinkle in the meaningless phrase, “not for nothin but...” and describe things as “classy” when they are anything but.
If you have a good income. And like winter. Most retirees (like me) don't like dealing with high costs and low temperatures. NH has the third worst property tax in the nation, after Ill. and NJ.
@Kevin Michael TN has high sales tax. Every other expense is rock bottom. But the killer for me is the weather, I am done with snow. But I will head to upstate NY in the warm weather, I have kids there.
@Kevin Michael Even if NJ became tropical I could not afford the taxes or stand the politics. I lived in NJ all but 4 of the past 60 years and I couldn't wait to head south.
@@uncareid5557 yes property taxes or high but there is no income tax and no sales tax. NH has one of the lowest tax burdens in the country. Housing is considerably cheaper there as well compared to its neighbor to the South, Massachusetts.
Such a shame NJ was a great place to grow up in the 60's-70's. Close to NYC, beaches & skiing. Then they let them build everywhere & anywhere. Taxes are insane. No family there except the cemetery.
@ Danny I don’t think it’s people “like” being rude, I think it’s bc we’re so fast paced in New England we come off rude. When I lived in the South for awhile I noticed life is a wee bit slower, so people seem to be “nicer” IMO.
I'm from Maryland and we don't want to be considered Northeast lol. We barely have anything in common with people from New England. We consider ourselves mid-atlantic along with Delaware and Virginia.
Delaware's the odd one out here. It's got a metro rail connection to Philadelphia and gets Philly news in New Castle County, where 2/3 of the state population lives. The population here tends to consider themselves as part of a region that includes PA and NJ - a sort of "northeastern Mid-Atlantic". It was part of PA during the colonial era, unanimously voted against secession, and is on the North end of the Mason Dixon line. Then again, the slower lower is a lot like eastern shore MD/VA.
I lived in Sussex County from about 2003 - 2005. I really enjoyed my time there. Beaches, Beach Towns, Punkin Chunkin, State Parks, History, nice communities, mild weather and so forth. The only thing I felt DE really lacked for me was mountains. I know that things have really built up a lot since I lived there, so my viewpoint my be too outdated to be valid.
My birth state of New York of which I’ll be 58 years removed from invented high taxes and railroads are the only big businesses that pay taxes & are taxed in New York. New York taxes the dead.
@@christopherorourke6543 I lived there most of my life and thankfully retired and moved to NC. You have to count traffic citations in the tax tally too. They have a $85 court fee on any citation and have a quota system for advancement in most sheriff and towns. The year I left even the state troopers were getting in on the scam citations.
@@robynannan7015 you did the right thing by getting out of New York State. My late father in 1962 took a better paying job with Boeing Aircraft in the Philadelphia area and lower taxes. 1963 I moved from Ridley Park, PA to Elwood,NJ when my parents bought their first home there. I lived there from 12/14/1963to 6/20/1969. In 1969 my parents moved to Delaware which is a Southeastern state on 6/21/1969 because of the shorter work commute for my father & even lower taxes. In Delaware there are farm feed & supply stores that says Southern States on them, same with Maryland. The smart ones got outofNew York & the dummies stayed there. I have cousins hat still live in New York State in the Buffalo & Rochester areas and they love paying high taxes.
@@christopherorourke6543 New York is crazy now; the small city I lived in was declared a sanctuary city by the mayor. Any undocumented aliens that flock to the city are given housing vouchers and food stamps. I owned my house but the influx of South Americans doubled the price of rent in the area. Before this mayor was elected there was a gang roundup every ten years or so that kept the crime and drug problem to a minimum; now both are through the roof. There use to be free parking so people would patronize local businesses, he installed meters everywhere on the main streets and put electronic car monitoring in parking lots...the business owners are pissed. When I left he was trying to impose a mandatory annual inspection fee of $500 per apartment within city limits. It will be interesting to see if he gets reelected. Governor Cuomo tried to ban guns throughout the state but lost that due to Constitutional rights. He is now trying to pass a law so every one has to pay a $100 tax per gun per year. A friend of mine is a gun collector and has over 160 rifles and is thinking of moving to Pennsylvania if it passes. Im glad I got out. The friends I talk to who still work there say they cant wait to leave too.
I grew up just outside of NYC, and I never understood the bad rap. I had only positive experiences there, and only met friendly people. Then I moved to Boston, and the people seemed really nasty, and everyone hates each other. Was happy to move to Vermont after 11 years, heaven by comparison.
NYC people can be mean and direct, but are rarely judgmental, it's a waste of energy to judge. Boston people can be mean, direct and very judgmental and dismissive in a way I rarely experienced growing up in NJ near NYC. Boston felt a lot more buttoned up and reserved than NYC ever did, which some people(not us) like.
@Richard Schiffman Yo, you said it. Those triple decker buildings are quite ugly, I agree. Never understood why Boston didn't build out brick rowhouse blocks like Queens, Brooklyn, Newark, Philly and the mid-Atlantic and put up ugly balloon framed tinderboxes instead. I only made it 3 years up there before I got tired of paying NYC borough rent price for a cold city that closes up shop 4 hours early. Hopefully our lost friend jon louis has found his way back down to the NY/NJ tri-state.
I’m a western PA native, transplant to the northern NJ / NYC metropolitan area and found NYC folks friendlier than NJ folk overall. I have met plenty of nice NJ folk but connected more with NYC folks. No rich pampered housewife attitude there 😉
I live in Vermont. We’re the safest because most of us follow rules and guidelines. It’s not all the population of being safe. It’s the percentage. We have the lowest amount of covid cases and deaths in the US and it’s not even close.
@Tika Nguyen yeah i guess the different divisions makes a lot of sense. i tend to forget that part. im not much into sports other than the isle of man tt
I'm from Massachusetts, outside of suburbia, so we have cows here. (for context) Personally, if I were to choose a state to move to that was in the northeast, I'd either go to New Hampshire, or Maine. For me, it's mostly about the mountains and forest.
Nick, your singing if life changing for me! What can I say: I was born and educated in Massachusetts, colleged in Maine, and now live in DC. I did office training in Newport, Rhode Island, which still has vestiges of the Gilded Age.
I love Living In Maryland... We have a little bit of everything here. People for the most part are nice, weather is good, we have all 4 seasons, sometimes in a matter of one week. Baltimore is not a place we really go to. Traffic can get bad and some drivers are a little aggressive. Job economy is Great. I feel like Maryland has people from the north and south coming here to start a new life. Overall, Maryland is a great place with great folks. We are the most Southern North State and the most Northern South state.
Been living around the NE my entire life. Each state has their drawbacks but the best part of “the new old country” is the odd brotherhood around here. All the small towns that dot NJ and PA have their own weird stereotypes and they are well known. When someone tells me they are from flemington or reading or whatever I will have an image in my head
NJ sets the standards for teaching the world about corruption! From the revolutionary war the politicians were always in charge of everything and the citizens. Didn't matter if they were right or not! South Jersey ,meaning cape May Country, usually votes differently and our views are not like the northern parts. But my family has been in NJ since 1870s and in Cape May County since 1880s. Not leaving with my ability to endure most of what the Demoncrates can dish out. Go Trump 2020! Democrats jail time 2021!!! Love New Hampshire the most for vacations!
Most of my family lives in Rhode Island, and I visit it every year. It’s a beautiful state with great food and a myriad of activities to do, especially if you are near the beaches. I do agree on the roads, however. They’re bad.
Take off your Boston goggles, Jim. PA shares a border with Canada on Lake Erie and outlawed slavery in the 1780s. DE is north and east of the Mason Dixon Line, MD is south and west of it. Maryland is arguably part of the old South, but it's a real stretch to include Delaware, and it's lunacy to include Pennsylvania.
Compared to my homestate of NJ Delaware and Maryland are calm. I live in Delaware now and rarely do I see foolishness. Outside of big cities DE and MD are quiet.
I’m originally from NY state. What I always got so annoyed with is strangers on the street will correct your grammar if you speak incorrectly. It’s beyond annoying! I’m in Virginia now 😊
I think that would be excellent! Free grammar lessons. I am, and always have been, all about improving/perfecting my grammar. If I mess up, grammatically, I want to know... now.
@@ellietaylorsver You can drive to Boston from a lot of NH for things to do, and save the taxes and traffic congestion, and be away from all the Libtards!
The success of New Hampshire Basically comes from Massachusetts. 75% of the NH population lives within 30 miles of the MA border and a very large percentage them drive to MA for the high paying jobs....trust me I see it on route 3 south every morning with all the NH plates coming in and basically zero MA plates heading north for the morning commute. And the northern part of NH relies on MA tourist for camping. skiing, boating ect! I'll bet you 70% of NH's dollars come from MA. Never mind MA has the best hospitals and schools in the world. The taxachusetts thing is also over-blown as the taxes are in MA the middle compared to the rest of the country. Plus NHs property taxes are far higher than MA. So instead of calling people libtards (I'm a common sense moderate) maybe you should be thankful for what MA brings to NH! Yes the traffic does suck in the Boston metro!
@@anthonynichols3678 There is nothing moderate about the state of MA, though you well may be yourself. NH rates as the 2nd best overall quality of life state in the country, but of course gets lots of tourist revenue from many of the other 49 states - the same as VT and ME. People in NH do not want MA politics to destroy their "Live Free or Die" ethic, and prefer the Bay State loons, like Fauxcohontas Liz and her batshit ideas, stay put. I like Massachusetts a lot, root for the Boston pro teams, enjoy the Bershires (Tanglewood, especially), all the history, beautiful Cape Cod, great food & culture, and yes - a ton of good schools - elementary to graduate schools. The Hub fans can be pretty rude, but Boston is a wicked good sports town. That being said, I despise the politicsI I am a libertarian, and do not want Big govt, or these parasites with their hands in my pocket. Big Tech has been a big boost to the MA economy - something missing in Lefty CT and RI. Upper New England was never an economic engine (the mills did provide a textile and leather goods dynamism for awhile), but have largely retained the beautiful small town, independent spirit that was all over America - now gobbled up by the corporatocracy that big govt spawns. These collectivist ideas are antithetical to New England and America. CT is NYC's bedroom, so most of it (save for NW CT) does not even feel like New England. I have subscribed to Yankee Magazine for about 40 years, and have made dozens of trips to the region - ever since I was a camp counselor in the Belgrade Lakes, Maine from 1969-1973. I have been to all 50 states, lived in 10, and Boston is my favorite large city (Charleston, SC my overall fave), but I detest Left politics, and find no credible spokesman for the Left - especially NOT dottering Joebama and his sidekick - cackling schmuck, Kamala the Horrible! I want the govt out of my life, and I am vehemently opposed to censorship & Cancel Culture. My aunt grew up in Northampton (little town of Florence), so I love New England - though my distaste for winter kept me from living there year round. I intend to spend 8 months in Lowcountry SC, followed by 4 months in NH - on a lake, and close to my favorite New England town of Portsmouth, NH. Any attempt to eliminate the no income tax/no sales tax in NH, will be strongly opposed! That, and pushing up housing prices in NH, are the main objections to "Massholes", though many coming to NH are conservatives/libertarians looking for a safe haven in NH, amidst the Left environment in the other 5 states. Maine has more of an independent spirit than VT, MA, CT & RI, but definitely not NH, politically. I find ALL 6 states beautiful, but NH is not only my favorite - it is the only one where I have any political alignment.
I love the snow so don't know why that's placed as a disadvantage to those states. I think you should have used natural disasters (like hurricanes and tornadoes) instead. Overall cool video though
"now I could rank them from best to worst but you people are sick and you want to see everything in a negative light" I laughed at this longer than I should have had
Why did you put CT in lowercase letters? Also... You seem to forget that half of Connecticut is part of the NY Metropolitan Area and the other half is part of New England.
@@devious18 pretty sure the whole state is New England. I happen to be in the NY metro area of the state and its def part of New England. Lowercase was an accident🤣
Well-made video! I'm thankful I don't live in the northeast because of how snowy and cold it gets during the winter. I'm from Illinois so I already have to put up with cold winters, but I know it's even worse in the northeast. Parts of it are worth visiting though. I visited NYC and Philadelphia within the past 5 years of this video being made, and both experiences went well because of who I knew there who I spent time with.
My Mom grew up in inner city Chicago but moved to MA with her first husband. Even after her divorce, she fell in love with the state and never looked back. She says it's mostly the seasons and how beautiful it is.
@@lizgreer6888 Very interesting, sorry to know she's divorced now, but it's good to know she's happy living in Massachusets. I'm more motivated to visit or relocate to a certain state depending on who I know. That matters more to me than attractions and decent year-round weather.
@@bracebrooks967 don't be sorry, she met my Dad after the divorce. They've been married over 30 years now! Yes the winters are harsh, sometimes brutal. It's not for everyone!

Hi Nick I watch a lot of your programs you are right about Rhode Island it sucks but I am a resident there and I still think it sucks for me and my girl think your cool keep up the good work
Hi Nick. I've been a big fan of yours for a while now. As someone living in Delaware (but not originally from DE) you pretty much hit the nail on the head with your choice of Middletown being a desirable area to live in. Not that I'm a Walmartian, but Middletown's Walmart beats the heck out of the one in New Castle not far from here. Enter there and after taking a quick gander, you might find yourself checking your pockets to see if you remembered to bring your passport. Third-worldly in appearance and clientele. FYI: Maybe I should also mention that Newark, DE is pronounced as a two-syllable word, unlike New Jersey's alter ego pronounced as a one-and-a-half syllable word while having the same spelling.
@@NickJohnson Hello again! Only if I lived in southernmost Sussex County (in slower, lower DE) would Wilmington be much of a drive. Depending on the traffic and where exactly in Wilmington, DE you will be, I'm off Exit 3 I-95 on the eastern outskirts of Newark but a tad closer to Christiana and their big shopping mall. 10 minutes but longer during rush hour.
Delaware is like NJ; two separate states. In NJ everything north of Route 195 is "North Jersey"; everything south of that is "South Jersey", with two different cultures. In Delaware everything north of Smyrna (bigger towns) is different from the DelMarVa peninsula south of there. (Lower, slower Delaware.)
I have lived in MA, NH, VT, ME, RI, and PA for Northeast states. PA def had the nicest people overall. VT and ME too, but definitely could tell they liked people from that region, not from outside of the Northeast, or so it seems.
I would like to see some type of accent ranking video for the country. I've traveled a bit and its always entertaining hearing other regions native tongue.
Come here to rhode island you wont understand things we say half the time i have quite a bit of a rhode island accent sometimes I accidentally add an ER to words that end with A
Back in 2017, I went to Rhode Island for the first time, cause my sister went to school up there and it was so nice. And I've been to most of New England such as; Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, and Connecticut.
By my rankings, it says New York is the worst, followed by Rhode Island, and then Pennsylvania. As for the best, it's New Hampshire, then Maine, and then Vermont.
Maryland is like the North of the South. It's historically southern and is below the line, but it's got a Northern style economy, political view and cost of living for sure. Delaware is the South of the North: above the Mason Dixon Line, part of PA in the colonial era, voted against secession unanimously... the only southern thing about it is the arbitrary US Census classification. Slower lower types have some traits in common with eastern shore VA/MD people, but none with inland Piedmont(RVA, NC, etc) Southern regions.
Some of those states in the South keep their property and income taxes low by putting sales tax on food, which is regressive and heavily impacts the poor. Figure in 8% tax on everything you eat and all of a sudden the effective rate in, say, South Carolina becomes sky high and onerous.
Cool, man. I’m from Massachusetts, I live about 20 miles from Rhode Island. I like the list, thanks for doing it! You kinda nailed it on the head. People are a little too uptight. Kinda. Judgmental, not everyone of course, just in general.
Man I'm missing out on hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires, major traffic, major heat, transit people, major population of homeless drug addicts, droughts, alligators, living in upstate ny. Yeah ill take the 4 seasons high taxes and sense of community. Upstate NY should be its own state. We couldn't be any different than packed ass NYC. Come up here, ride snowmobiles, go boating on the lakes, get space, see beautiful country. Im sure its like that in most of these lower populated northeast states. But hey its cool to talk bad about the northeast. You'll make alot of friends like that, you'll fit right in at the cool kid table
Delaware was the worst for me, beaches were alright, lot’s of cornfields, buildings and towns were a lot smaller and the whole state is just more quiet overall.

"Rudeness" is really a matter of perspective. People living in the northeast don't consider each other rude. We're just not effusively friendly. We think that's fake. The polite thing to do in the northeast is to keep a respectful emotional distance if we're not family or friends. You're being a little bit rude if you presume you're allowed to overstep that boundary.
A bit late to this one but I guess that the algorithm brought me here. I think that people (especially from the south) tend to correlate terseness with rudeness. In the South, certain formalities may be expected from a person such as saying "yes sir/ma'am" after a request or striking an informal conversation with some random people. This doesn't exist in the North, where one is just expected to just say the bare minimum to get the job done. In tandem, in the north, I've noticed that people who keep on rambling on and on are treated as "more bluster than substance", with results being put more onto the forefront. That doesn't mean that they are rude or unfriendly, for when I moved to a village upstate NY, the locals really helped me out with finding areas to shop and loaning out their snow removal equipment. This is coming from someone who has spent time in both North Carolina and upstate NY.
@@galanopouloc i think of it more of a pace of life, down south life is slow as hell. I went to Wilson NC with my girlfriend to visit her family and it was so different then anything I’ve ever experienced. I’m from New Jersey we live on top of eachother. Everything down there in NC was so spaced out it was crazy to me. There were no houses with 2 stories every house was a 1 story trailer. Every house. It was the windiest place I’ve ever been I guess because the lot his house sits on is like 15 acres. I remember taking his truck up to the local dollar store to grab some vegetable oil and I’m used to rude people up here in jersey but the lady at the dollar store caught me so off guard with how long she was talking. Asking me if I’m from here, how long I’m visiting, how I met my girlfriend all this shit and if I was back home I would take it as this person is having a boring shift and is trying to waste my time to make their shift more fun to have someone to talk to, but being in the south I had to just sit thru the conversation and be nice when in reality In my head I’m like holy shit lady can I please just purchase my oil and leave I appreciate the kindness but you guys are just so damn slow down here I can’t handle it😂
Yeah, it's not being rude, it's just when you're from a big city, you just lose your emotional capacity for strangers very quickly in life. But if you truly see someone who needs help or need help yourself, you rarely hesitate to offer it.
@@RealDovamo excellent way to put it
It kind of depends on where you're from as well. I'm from northern New Hampshire, we're kind of a halfway between the southern mentality and the NYC/Boston mentality. I noticed that in Boston and Manchester, I'm seen as being overly friendly and innocent like Anne Of Green Gables whereas in the south I'm seen as too blunt and assertive.

omg sameeeeee lmaooooo
It kinda depends on the region. Within NY, there are two extremely distinct regions- Upstate and NYC Metro. Correct me on this, but I’m pretty sure NYC is more agreeable to New Jersey than Upstate- so it is more like New Jersey+NYC vs Upstate NY
I wholeheartedly love both states
It’s definitely a mutual hatred.

I live in NH, and my arguments are this:
Are Maryland and Delaware really in the Northeast?
I feel the "rudeness" of NH is overexaggerated by other New England states vacationing/coming to NH, most natives I know are amazing people.
While NH isn't known for any food specifically, being in between Mass, Maine, Vermont, etc we have a conglomerate of delicious foods without a "specialty dish". I almost value that more.
The rest seems fine to me though.
I know Maryland and Delaware are Mid-Atlantic states, they aren’t even a part of New England or The Northeast.
Delaware is culturally in the Northeast for sure. Nearly everyone in my county is a tax exile from New Jersey or New York!
That really depends who you ask, from most things are researched MD is considered by most as part of the South.
But I damn sure know once you’re in Pennsylvania, you DAMN sure are in the northeast. 😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah, the rudeness thing is really determined by how many tourists show up who don't get local attitudes.
Yes they are. The civil war is over you old timer. There is nothing southern about these 2 states.

The middle onyx States are the northeast there just part of it.
@@flyacow Virginia is traditionally mid Atlantic
Everything between Maryland and New York is Mid-Atlantic also including New York and Maryland
He got it wrong the reason we don’t have snow though. It’s because when everyone living in western Maryland goes to ocean city for vacation brings back too much nice weather from the eastern shore. 😇😇😇
I'm from Delaware and it's considered the northeast at the top and mid Atlantic the bottom 2/3s. Because we're 10 minutes from both PA an Jersey.
Delawarean here: I think this is a good state to retire in; good roads, access to big cities without big city life, access to the beach, but not a lot of entertainment. I think Delaware is better than ranked, in my opinion, but like I said, it's a good place to retire. If you wanna have a good life full of experience and fun, Delaware isn't it. But it's overall a pretty chill place to be.
I agree 100%. Moved to Middletown from NJ and I have 0 regrets. It's just Jersey enough to me: Wawas, Dunkin Donuts and the culture is the same as South Jersey. Less drama.

@The Absolute Madman the rest of NJ must not have any crime at all bc those three cities constantly rank as some of the most dangerous in America
It is...only Trenton is unsafe. NJ is top 10 for safest states..about 7. Philly had 500 murders, and all three cities combined had less than 100. Philly is a dump though..
@@PSUJerseyGirl I’m pretty sure Camden has it really rough too.
@@weldin Camden has the lowest violence rate it has in 50 years. They redid the police dept and hired qualified people. It has went through mega change.

Agreed!!! They are Mid-Atlantic. Get them off the list!
I'm from Maryland and we don't want to be considered Northeast lol. We barely have anything in common with people from New England. We consider ourselves mid-atlantic along with Delaware and Virginia.
Delaware's the odd one out here. It's got a metro rail connection to Philadelphia and gets Philly news in New Castle County, where 2/3 of the state population lives. The population here tends to consider themselves as part of a region that includes PA and NJ - a sort of "northeastern Mid-Atlantic". It was part of PA during the colonial era, unanimously voted against secession, and is on the North end of the Mason Dixon line. Then again, the slower lower is a lot like eastern shore MD/VA.

I lived there from 12/14/1963to 6/20/1969. In 1969 my parents moved to Delaware which is a Southeastern state on 6/21/1969 because of the shorter work commute for my father & even lower taxes.

New York is crazy now; the small city I lived in was declared a sanctuary city by the mayor. Any undocumented aliens that flock to the city are given housing vouchers and food stamps. I owned my house but the influx of South Americans doubled the price of rent in the area.
Before this mayor was elected there was a gang roundup every ten years or so that kept the crime and drug problem to a minimum; now both are through the roof. There use to be free parking so people would patronize local businesses, he installed meters everywhere on the main streets and put electronic car monitoring in parking lots...the business owners are pissed. When I left he was trying to impose a mandatory annual inspection fee of $500 per apartment within city limits. It will be interesting to see if he gets reelected.
Governor Cuomo tried to ban guns throughout the state but lost that due to Constitutional rights. He is now trying to pass a law so every one has to pay a $100 tax per gun per year. A friend of mine is a gun collector and has over 160 rifles and is thinking of moving to Pennsylvania if it passes.
Im glad I got out. The friends I talk to who still work there say they cant wait to leave too.

NYC people can be mean and direct, but are rarely judgmental, it's a waste of energy to judge. Boston people can be mean, direct and very judgmental and dismissive in a way I rarely experienced growing up in NJ near NYC. Boston felt a lot more buttoned up and reserved than NYC ever did, which some people(not us) like.
Vermont, smaller Canada
@Richard Schiffman Yo, you said it. Those triple decker buildings are quite ugly, I agree. Never understood why Boston didn't build out brick rowhouse blocks like Queens, Brooklyn, Newark, Philly and the mid-Atlantic and put up ugly balloon framed tinderboxes instead. I only made it 3 years up there before I got tired of paying NYC borough rent price for a cold city that closes up shop 4 hours early. Hopefully our lost friend jon louis has found his way back down to the NY/NJ tri-state.

Been living around the NE my entire life. Each state has their drawbacks but the best part of “the new old country” is the odd brotherhood around here.

Take off your Boston goggles, Jim. PA shares a border with Canada on Lake Erie and outlawed slavery in the 1780s. DE is north and east of the Mason Dixon Line, MD is south and west of it.

The success of New Hampshire Basically comes from Massachusetts. 75% of the NH population lives within 30 miles of the MA border and a very large percentage them drive to MA for the high paying jobs....trust me I see it on route 3 south every morning with all the NH plates coming in and basically zero MA plates heading north for the morning commute. And the northern part of NH relies on MA tourist for camping. skiing, boating ect! I'll bet you 70% of NH's dollars come from MA. Never mind MA has the best hospitals and schools in the world. The taxachusetts thing is also over-blown as the taxes are in MA the middle compared to the rest of the country. Plus NHs property taxes are far higher than MA.

NH rates as the 2nd best overall quality of life state in the country, but of course gets lots of tourist revenue from many of the other 49 states - the same as VT and ME. People in NH do not want MA politics to destroy their "Live Free or Die" ethic, and prefer the Bay State loons, like Fauxcohontas Liz and her batshit ideas, stay put. I like Massachusetts a lot, root for the Boston pro teams, enjoy the Bershires (Tanglewood, especially), all the history, beautiful Cape Cod, great food & culture, and yes - a ton of good schools - elementary to graduate schools. The Hub fans can be pretty rude, but Boston is a wicked good sports town. That being said, I despise the politicsI I am a libertarian, and do not want Big govt, or these parasites with their hands in my pocket. Big Tech has been a big boost to the MA economy - something missing in Lefty CT and RI. Upper New England was never an economic engine (the mills did provide a textile and leather goods dynamism for awhile), but have largely retained the beautiful small town, independent spirit that was all over America - now gobbled up by the corporatocracy that big govt spawns. These collectivist ideas are antithetical to New England and America. CT is NYC's bedroom, so most of it (save for NW CT) does not even feel like New England. I have subscribed to Yankee Magazine for about 40 years, and have made dozens of trips to the region - ever since I was a camp counselor in the Belgrade Lakes, Maine from 1969-1973. I have been to all 50 states, lived in 10, and Boston is my favorite large city (Charleston, SC my overall fave), but I detest Left politics, and find no credible spokesman for the Left - especially NOT dottering Joebama and his sidekick - cackling schmuck, Kamala the Horrible! I want the govt out of my life, and I am vehemently opposed to censorship & Cancel Culture. My aunt grew up in Northampton (little town of Florence), so I love New England - though my distaste for winter kept me from living there year round. I intend to spend 8 months in Lowcountry SC, followed by 4 months in NH - on a lake, and close to my favorite New England town of Portsmouth, NH. Any attempt to eliminate the no income tax/no sales tax in NH, will be strongly opposed! That, and pushing up housing prices in NH, are the main objections to "Massholes", though many coming to NH are conservatives/libertarians looking for a safe haven in NH, amidst the Left environment in the other 5 states. Maine has more of an independent spirit than VT, MA, CT & RI, but definitely not NH, politically. I find ALL 6 states beautiful, but NH is not only my favorite - it is the only one where I have any political alignment.
I love the snow so don't know why that's placed as a disadvantage to those states. I think you should have used natural disasters (like hurricanes and tornadoes) instead. Overall cool video though
Ok!
"now I could rank them from best to worst but you people are sick and you want to see everything in a negative light" I laughed at this longer than I should have had
Nick thanks for being so informative and entertaining.
Your helping a lot of us stay of antidepressants during this plandemic 😊
haha cool
Nick blames some of us for subbing to hear only the bad stuff.
I subbed for the songs!
Make a video of the "best state capital to live" I would like to see that!
ok Gerardo
Hey Nick me again really appreciate what your doing in these times dont have the option of visiting so I'm really enjoying your work
great Mark!
Rhode Islander here, yes our roads are worse than terrible -_- but i deff feel like our food rating should have been higher, the food here kicks butt!
I’ve lived in NY my whole life and I absolutely hate it here
I wouldn’t consider some of these northeast. To me, northeast is New York New Jersey, eastern penn + New England (ct, RI, MA, ME, NH, VT)
Why did you put CT in lowercase letters? Also... You seem to forget that half of Connecticut is part of the NY Metropolitan Area and the other half is part of New England.
@@devious18 pretty sure the whole state is New England. I happen to be in the NY metro area of the state and its def part of New England. Lowercase was an accident🤣
@@williambrey5926 The whole State really isn't.
So, where is New England on the map? It's in the northern eastern part of the nation.
Well-made video! I'm thankful I don't live in the northeast because of how snowy and cold it gets during the winter. I'm from Illinois so I already have to put up with cold winters, but I know it's even worse in the northeast. Parts of it are worth visiting though. I visited NYC and Philadelphia within the past 5 years of this video being made, and both experiences went well because of who I knew there who I spent time with.
My Mom grew up in inner city Chicago but moved to MA with her first husband. Even after her divorce, she fell in love with the state and never looked back. She says it's mostly the seasons and how beautiful it is.
@@lizgreer6888 Very interesting, sorry to know she's divorced now, but it's good to know she's happy living in Massachusets. I'm more motivated to visit or relocate to a certain state depending on who I know. That matters more to me than attractions and decent year-round weather.
@@bracebrooks967 don't be sorry, she met my Dad after the divorce. They've been married over 30 years now! Yes the winters are harsh, sometimes brutal. It's not for everyone!
@@lizgreer6888 Oh ok that's good, and yes I agree about cold weather states aren't for everyone, especially us dark-skinned folks. I wish I could live somewhere warm all-year round, but other factors are issues there too in warm weather states such as hurricanes, more insects, deadly heat waves, droughts and water shortages.
New England here: why are Maryland and Delaware on this list?
I enjoyed watching this very informative video. Thank you!
Hi Nick I watch a lot of your programs you are right about Rhode Island it sucks but I am a resident there and I still think it sucks for me and my girl think your cool keep up the good work
I've been drove to New England from Cincinnati twice. In my opinion, Connecticut is the worst state out there.
Fachriansyah Rasylin Connecticut here. You are correct.
In Connecticut, you're either rich (towns near NYC) or you're stuck in a town where the main employer moved 30-50 years ago.
@@meadster308 shoutout to the homies suffering in Bridgeport

Hi Nick. I've been a big fan of yours for a while now. As someone living in Delaware (but not originally from DE) you pretty much hit the nail on the head with your choice of Middletown being a desirable area to live in. Not that I'm a Walmartian, but Middletown's Walmart beats the heck out of the one in New Castle not far from here. Enter there and after taking a quick gander, you might find yourself checking your pockets to see if you remembered to bring your passport. Third-worldly in appearance and clientele. FYI: Maybe I should also mention that Newark, DE is pronounced as a two-syllable word, unlike New Jersey's alter ego pronounced as a one-and-a-half syllable word while having the same spelling.
Anthony!! I'm coming to Wilmington in early January is that far from you? Wait it's Delaware everything is close
@@NickJohnson Hello again! Only if I lived in southernmost Sussex County (in slower, lower DE) would Wilmington be much of a drive. Depending on the traffic and where exactly in Wilmington, DE you will be, I'm off Exit 3 I-95 on the eastern outskirts of Newark but a tad closer to Christiana and their big shopping mall. 10 minutes but longer during rush hour.
Delaware is like NJ; two separate states. In NJ everything north of Route 195 is "North Jersey"; everything south of that is "South Jersey", with two different cultures. In Delaware everything north of Smyrna (bigger towns) is different from the DelMarVa peninsula south of there. (Lower, slower Delaware.)
I have lived in MA, NH, VT, ME, RI, and PA for Northeast states. PA def had the nicest people overall. VT and ME too, but definitely could tell they liked people from that region, not from outside of the Northeast, or so it seems.
I would like to see some type of accent ranking video for the country. I've traveled a bit and its always entertaining hearing other regions native tongue.
Great idea Corey!
Come here to rhode island you wont understand things we say half the time i have quite a bit of a rhode island accent sometimes I accidentally add an ER to words that end with A
Is Delaware and Maryland considered north eastern? I’m always told they’re southern states along with DC (which isn’t a state)
Definitely consider it a northeast state
Back in 2017, I went to Rhode Island for the first time, cause my sister went to school up there and it was so nice. And I've been to most of New England such as; Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, and Connecticut.
The Connecticut Tristate Area isn't part of New England.
@@devious18 New England is Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Vermont
@@The_Mavs_Are_Bums The Connecticut Tri-State Area is not New England.
@@The_Mavs_Are_Bums Connecticut doesn't count. They're a bunch of New Yorkers down there.
To all my New England people let's give Rhodee a hug
By my rankings, it says New York is the worst, followed by Rhode Island, and then Pennsylvania.
As for the best, it's New Hampshire, then Maine, and then Vermont.
Yeah I'd have to agree with that personally
Why the hate for PA?
PA is like Kentucky of the NE
Maryland is the south. South of the Mason-Dixon line.
Real southerners definitely consider Maryland up North!
Maryland is like the North of the South. It's historically southern and is below the line, but it's got a Northern style economy, political view and cost of living for sure.
Delaware is the South of the North: above the Mason Dixon Line, part of PA in the colonial era, voted against secession unanimously... the only southern thing about it is the arbitrary US Census classification. Slower lower types have some traits in common with eastern shore VA/MD people, but none with inland Piedmont(RVA, NC, etc) Southern regions.
My area of New Jersey is not packed at all. Everybody has their own room in the hills.
I lived in RI for 2 years and I can agree, it's pretty bad over there. Except for Newport. It's a land of its own.
That parody song 🤣 I love it!
All of Nick’s songs are comedy gold😁.
Some of those states in the South keep their property and income taxes low by putting sales tax on food, which is regressive and heavily impacts the poor. Figure in 8% tax on everything you eat and all of a sudden the effective rate in, say, South Carolina becomes sky high and onerous.
Right now I would never step one foot into Illinois.
Thank you Mr. Johnshon we learn a lot from this.
Cool, man. I’m from Massachusetts, I live about 20 miles from Rhode Island. I like the list, thanks for doing it! You kinda nailed it on the head. People are a little too uptight. Kinda. Judgmental, not everyone of course, just in general.
Snowfall is a positive point for me so VT is the best in terms of weather.
Good!
Man I'm missing out on hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires, major traffic, major heat, transit people, major population of homeless drug addicts, droughts, alligators, living in upstate ny. Yeah ill take the 4 seasons high taxes and sense of community. Upstate NY should be its own state. We couldn't be any different than packed ass NYC. Come up here, ride snowmobiles, go boating on the lakes, get space, see beautiful country. Im sure its like that in most of these lower populated northeast states. But hey its cool to talk bad about the northeast. You'll make alot of friends like that, you'll fit right in at the cool kid table
I had a nice spread upstate, over 80 acres with a beat up old cabin and a nice barn. Taxes and 40 below winters chased me out.
Delaware was the worst for me, beaches were alright, lot’s of cornfields, buildings and towns were a lot smaller and the whole state is just more quiet overall.
When you counted sports titles, did you count the NEW JERSEY Jets and the NEW JERSEY Giants since that is where they are located?
