Which State out WEST is the WORST?
Vložit

- Is the west coast crappy or nice? A lot of the western part of the US looks like a big desert. It’s still a wide open frontier out here, and it just might stay like this for a long time, cause look at the place.
But the western portion of our country isn’t just hot deserts with scorpions and tumbleweeds. Lots of it is filled to the brim with too many people - many are large families who have lived here for generations. Lots are immigrants. Some are people who just moved here from other states, looking for a better life.
But how do you know where to go? Like, which state out this way is better than the other? Or put it even more clickbaity, which western states are the WORST? That’s what we’re here to determine today. We’re going to measure things like data, and compare stereotypes so YOU, the ever shrewd viewer, are more informed. Or, if you live out west, this is something you can brag about or use to email me and call me names.
So, get out your tank tops and don’t ask if you can use my lighter, we’re going to rank the western states and tell you which one is the worst.
We'll talk about California, Arizona, Nevada, Washington, Oregon, Montana, New Mexico, Idaho, Utah, Colorado and Wyoming.

Here's my entire California playlist: czcams.com/play/PLq-_cmf3H6yomU5rB6yOC5C9hr0Qnkf1l.html
Utah is the best, but California is too big to be analyzed as a single state, most parts of it still have a great quality of life.
California looks like a third world country
The Shield What about Northern California? It’s quite calm when you head up North toward Redding and the state border with Oregon.
@@liam-man7265 it's okay barley passes but the roads are F up, especially the bay inflation area and southern California
Utah is full of Mormons... 😆

New Mexico does have some pretty amazing sunsets!:)
Yes they do
Blue lives Matter too hot over there
I bet they do
It’s a gorgeous state!
I’ve been to them all and New Mexico is the only state west of the Mississippi that I could live in.
I really love the way Washington Oregon and California look I just really wish the people that lived there were normal
Those are popular places to live, attracts all kinds. Where as a state that is, lets say, not as popular (no sunny beaches) you would have to really love to live there.
I live in Cali. I think your comment is hilarious
@Tp L not using the street as a restroom and not destroying your city is a pretty normal thing to do
Not overtaxing working citizens. Enforcing federal law re: illegal aliens. Protecting your citizens from rioters. For starters.
@C. H. Too bad diversity of thought aint allowed there, am I right? Hypocrite
Guessing New Mexico is the worst before I watch this but doesn’t matter. Love this state.
New Mexico is a run down state, but I do give that state props in great food though because of their green chili!
Don't drive in New Mexico at night
New Mexico was nice but is now a poor version of California. Forbes magazine list it as the most likely to go bankrupt. Great food and people. Horrible govt.
I grew up in Abq and live in Denver now. I miss the food but I don’t miss the crime.
Awesome!
Thank you, Nick. I used to live in Oregon. I really hate what has been done to Portland. I miss living out west but I am not ready to go back any time soon.
It's only gotten worse and will continue to do so. Specially these last 2 years
Yes everyone has a lot to complain about as cities continue to evolve. If people raised their children better and stopped conceiving football teams then all of America could be “better”
Cali has become the absolute worst...
Say that to there value and economy
Thanks Gavin
Inflation problem
Years ago it was considered the place to be! The very definition of progress and prosperity, but that sure had changed, now it's a good place to avoid!
LA and SF aren't the whole of Cali
A lot of people are gonna hate me for this but California is the best state in my opinion. Just stay out of big cities and you’ll avoid crowds and homelessness. The people are friendly, weather is perfect year round and I think it’s one of just a few places in the world where you can visit so many different sceneries within a day trip.
Fair
Good state with an inflation problem
Good you can have it
I also like California for how open-minded people are there
Just_ktrash UwU Open-minded? The second you share any non-left leaning views in SoCal you’re berated instantly and called a whole slew of things
I would be interesting to see an updated video on this since things have changed so much over the last 2 years. Great video as always. THanks!
It really hasnt. Cali is still the worst. Idaho, Utah and Wyoming are still the best.
I’ve been to all of these states (apart from AK and HI) and my least favorite was probably Idaho because I don’t think it was particularly pretty and the cities were boring. Sawtooth mountains are great but every state it borders have better landscapes and (in my opinion) friendlier people. While New Mexico is statistically the worst, is such a culturally rich place. That’s just my opinion, though!
Great Nate!
I agree!
Idaho is gorgeous
When I think new mexico i think of "Breaking Bad".
@@robinscottmarsh846 And Breaking Bad isn't even an exaggeration of New Mexico's ghettoness. 😂 In fact, that show inspired more New Mexicans to "proudly" use drugs, because Breaking Bad has become famous. That's how basic the people there are.
The fact of the matter is that these metrics are particularly arbitrary. This is especially the case when they are based on localized conditions of large population centers to represent an entire state’s condition. A three square mile of civil unrest in Seattle has no baring on what living in the rest of the state is like. It is clear that there is a personal bias in priorities of metrics and the way those metrics are used.
Amen
Let me guess, Alan lives there
If the largest portions of your population live in the stressed area guess what YOUR STATE IS FUCKING STRESSED
You can't categorize an entire state since it's dependent on where in the state you live and what kind of job and quality of life you have.
The best things of these for me is I'm improving my English skills by listening Nick and yet learning something about US.
Could anyone please tell me down if is correct my sentence up here?
It should be, "By listening 'to' nick" and "learning something about 'the' U.S." You're doing very good though, keep learning!
@@therocinante3443 Thanks dude
Your sentence structure is correct---you are doing very well!
HAHA DO NOT use me to learn english that's funny though.

With everything going on in 2020, I’m ready for Yellowstone to blow.
I just went there 2 days ago. I said the same thing.
Me too and I live close to Yellowstone.
not surprised that Utah is the best western state to live in ! we passed through Salt Lake a couple of years ago for a few days and it was magnificent there, as was the whole state !!
We thought 2020 was bad dam 2021 isn't shaping up any better with this weather
Well, Yellowstone isn’t going to blow up anytime soon.
I lived in Albuquerque, New Mexico for five years, 2001 to 2006. There was not a whole lot to do, the people were friendly, there’s virtually no rain but some snow, the crime was nuts, no jobs… I’m back home in Florida now, needless to say. I must say, however, what a beautiful state!
You could cook meth 😜
You were one of the smart ones to leave New Mexico. It's just becoming worse and worse.
@@SelfRighteousNewAgeLightWorker so I’ve heard… What a shame. Such a rich culture, beautiful people, and beautiful food.
@@SelfRighteousNewAgeLightWorker It's not becoming any worse than everywhere else in the US, all cities are going downhill. Denver is surpassing ABQ in crime in a lot of areas now.

People in Washington and Oregon after tying at 6.9 were all saying "Nice".
Guess they can't argue over which is better lol
@@Laz3rCat95 You could say that lol. But Washington has more people and that almost always makes it worse. And not just MORE people, more people from WASHINGTON.
To be honest Colorado is not even expensive. I moved to Denver from Missouri and everything is literally the same cost here & pay is way better. I only pay $886 for 1bd apt, and my bills are very manageable here.
Don't tell people that. Everyone move to Utah and Montana damn it
house prices are insane from what ive heard
I think you got a steal. It's so hard to find under $1000 for rent in Denver.
Rush Rush it all depends on where you live. If you live in the Denver metropolitan area, it will be expensive. Colorado Springs is a nice area and it’s affordable.
Do you live in Pueblo? Housing ridiculously expensive here.

Utah is kind of an odd place, just saying.
Why do you think Utah is "odd"?
@@czernya307 Mormons
There’s literally 10 different ski resorts within 50 miles of Salt Lake City. But many of the people in Utah overall are blank and devoid of personality. Mormonism does that to people.
Ya but you can have 2 wives.
@@jondstewart Just because you judge personality by how much they can swear in between drinks of alcohol doesn't mean everyone else does.
I guess Arizona is pretty much middle of the road. I have to admit Arizona could be doing so much better.
@@xpxpe5645 Amen Boss! 👍
@Richard Schiffman yea my uncle lives out in Tucson, got me convinced to move to AZ from GA. (GA sucks btw, i'll trade this humidity in for higher temps any day! when its 95 degrees outside with 70+ humidity.... its awful!)
I'm living in AZ now, and yeah, its a nice place, although I'm not a fan of the heat during the summer. I'm not a fan of the politics here. Too many red hats and you get some downright lunatic militia and "soveriegn citizens" as your neighbors. Maybe its just the region of the state I'm living in, (southeast, in the Gila Valley), but I'm going back to New Mexico in the near future. People there are much more....laid back? That "manana" attitude suits me. Utah came first on this video but.....if you do decide to move there and are NOT Mormon, be prepared for culture shock. Utah society is very stratified and especially in SLC if you're non Mormon you are "the other" in the midst.
At least you guys are at the top for persecuting minorities.
@@SynapseNervosa Oh, be nice! 😘
There really should be an Idaho Sawtooth National Park. But most people don't know it's there because you can't find it on a map
AkToOaly, part of Yellowstone National Park is in Idaho.
No sawtooth is perfect the way it is 😊
what about the Craters Of The Moon National Park?
@@skurinski doesn't have National Park status. It's a National Monument
All naming a place "National Park" does is bring in floods of assholes who otherwise never would have known the once-great place existed.
You have to be a local to appreciate New Mexico. We’re on a lot of bad lists (sadly), but you have to know where to go and where to avoid. And with all our public lands, there are a lot of hiking and camping areas. I’m not sure how they measured it for the video, but we have tons of things to do, but it just takes some research to find. They don’t scream at you; you have to go looking for them. As some of my Texas friends like to say, “New Mexico is Texas’s playground.”
fair blake.
New Mexico is a *GARBAGE DUMP* and I'm so glad that I only have to live their part time. 🤮 Give me some time, and I'll be out of there permanently.
Wait. Kentucky has the lowest unemployment rate. Woohoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Finally were exceptionally good at one thing!
Yeah, but the biggest employer is KFC 😎😎😎
As someone from Washington, a lot of us just like to keep to ourselves. I like living here, may be bias but I wouldn't say living here is that bad.
For Oregon as well! People are just very quiet and often introverted or shy.
@ For sure!! Overall, it’s a very pretty and relaxed place to live. :)
There are plenty of good hiking trails in New Mexico, and you can ski there too.
Yeah I don't think he's using some good resources. I would say New Mexico is the best place to do outdoor stuff because it's less crowded than most other states
@@warrenparker7002 it is also more pleasant weather wise in the summer, due to elevation.
Susan Howell Unless you live in the SE part like I do, in which case it’s just flat out hot.
@@michaelhatfield5808 yes, I have heard that. People I know of in AZ who boondock sometimes go to NM to cool off.
@Scrap cash Here in ABQ we've been keeping a good 90 - 100.
People in Colorado are very strange.
Why cause we aren’t 600 pounds?
Colorado: you nailed in on the cost of living. Rents and housing prices have raised dramatically in the past decade. I've owned my house for more than 20 years, but if I had to buy it today, I definitely could not afford it. And as far as traffic goes, the major city where I live may not be as densely populated as other places nor have as large of population as places like LA, NYC, etc., but the highway infrastructure is a complete embarrassment. Our highway system today is inadequate for how the population and driving patterns were 20 years ago. If the highway system was improved (even adding a lane or improving segments that were poorly designed) it would make a huge difference in happiness.
Wider roads!!!
Colorado passed the legal cannabis a few years ago, so Californians flocked there like locusts.
Tbh, I live in CA, and my parents are reluctant to leave. CA is worth visiting if you want to go to national parks, i guarantee you’ll like it.
California has its beauty. That I agree on. However, I hate the high cost of living. That and the Libcunts.
The answer for the worst state in the west is easy: California
Ranking all the nations on the US west coast:
1. USA
What about canada and mexico they are on the west coast
Nävada I said the US west coast. Canada and Mexico don’t apply.
Ok
As a man who lives in wyoming it’s terrible (lying through my teeth so people don’t move here)
California is the worst state in the West. I'm a Los Angeles native btw
Love the message at the end. Be nice everyone!
Always
Nobody is allowed to move to Wyoming. We're full up. No vacancy.
California is such a monster in size, it's 40+ million. The next largest populated state is Washington at 7 million, 3 million of those are from California over 25 years and has had predictable effect on the state. Cali's like the city life, hussle and bussle, corporate stores and hassles for the dollar. Always in a hurry, slightly pissed and right.
I made the great escape from California to Arizona almost 10 years ago. Have never looked back. Born and raised in O.C. - I tell people I didn't leave California, California left me.
What part are you in?
I spent 30 years in AZ. Then moved to CA. The bay area. It was beautiful and ugly at the same time. Left CA before the 2020 election. Moved back to AZ. I'm hoping those that come here dont bring the CA with them.
@@DialloMoore503 I'm in a rural area of the southeast (about 45 minutes due east of Tucson) and not too far from the city of Benson. Was able to buy some land, drill a well, etc. Very happy.
Must be rich to live in California, 100k or above just like me
And you voted for Trump after borrowing Reagans quote on the Democratic Party but AZ went the other way. Lol
Nevada is great, no state income tax, friendly people and great weather and not that much traffic compared to California.
cool!

Washington and Oregon disappoints me! I love both places. Although Idaho and Utah surprise me as well. Boise and Salt Lake City are both booming areas for good reason I guess.
SLC is one of the worst parts of Utah though

Why is that?

@@Dmac911 me too bro
In Utah the people are ridiculously nice and personable. Loved this video. My first guess was already Utah.

Great video Nick! Like your ranking system. 👍🏻 Can you do a video for “which states have the most missing people or which states you are most likely to go missing?” (Missing 411, it’s actually a really interesting topic) and “which states are you more likely to encounter Bigfoot?” 🙀 🦶😵

@@krakatoa8701 I'm not from Cali, but I remember a news story that the mayor or Governor (no sure which one) running for election said he wants to build a wall.
Thank you, Nick. I have a clear picture of which Western state to move now.
What is it?
I prefer Oregon over Utah or Nevada, the Coast is beautiful, I’d rather have rain over snow. As the saying goes that you don’t have to shovel rain, Oregon has lots of outdoor stuff, this video is not entirely accurate.
Oregon is also ran by insane liberals
If it wasn't full of crazy and violent fanatic people i'd give it a visit
Yep and less rain than washington and less traffic than seattle. Not as hot and expensive as Cal either. PDX airport ranked one of the best in the country!
Pennsylvanian here. I just came back from an Arizona and Utah trip. I gotta say, Utah really impressed me with its beauty, friendly people, and outdoor opportunities. It just moved up to number one for western states I'd move to.
Nice!
I know I'm late to the conversation but I'm trying to get out of Utah. The wages are abysmally low and housing is so high its unreal. It's turning into California fast. Traffic is awful and you can't afford to do anything. It's it pretty? Sure, but the joke is that they pay us in sunsets. And unemployment is only low because everyone needs 2 jobs to survive. It's really sad. I grew up here and I'm being priced out by everyone moving here.
@@ciarajeanr sorry to hear that! Wow…
@@ciarajeanr I also live in Utah, and can confirm everything you said is 100% true! I’m currently looking to get out as well.

Arizona has the best highway maintenance, cheap gas prices, wide open space in the western region, and last but not least- a mild fall & winter w/ sunny days/ 70*

If your cellphone works, you have no business saying you're in the middle of nowhere. And if you are in the middle of nowhere, remember that "nowhere" is made up of two words - now and here.
Utah has its priorities out of whack a lot of the time but the quality of life and amenities for the cost of living is un-fucking-beatable.
People from less religious states will get quite the culture shock going to Utah. It's nice to see Arizona didn't end up on the bottom.

I guess Oregon, California, and Washington have different standards for crime than the rest.
Sw Washington is real bad for hard drugs
Property crime is super high, especially in the cities (which comes with a high homeless/ poverty problem)and a understaffed police department), but Violent crime isn't as huge as it is in other states.
California gives illegals free passes.
my husband and i have been watching your videos religiously since the very beginning! thank you for your uploads-they’ve all been extremely infotaining! (love your jacket by the way!)
That is awesome! That's my brokeback mountain coat - you know, since it's about 'western' states :)
I moved to Grand Junction Colorado on the western slope I love it.
I can’t stand when people use the phrase “out West” - it’s biased to think that west is further out. East is also “out” in another direction
I agree but it’s a historical phrase that stuck around. When the white people got here they all lived on the east coast so moving away was generally going west. It’s antiquated and doesn’t need to be said anymore.

Idaho does have a national park. It's called Yellowstone. Technically Yellowstone is in Idaho as well as Wyoming and Montana. They have more national wilderness than any other state besides Alaska. It was planned that way to preserve so much land.

Nevada cuz California seems cool
(I’m From Canada)
You're actually really lucky to live in Canada. If the US didn't hold its citizens living abroad as tax slaves Canada would definitely be my place to live. Plus I have never seen snow so that's a plus.
Darell Arocho If u need tips u can ask. I’d recommend Toronto or Vancouver if u like big cities. Toronto is like NYC and Vancouver looks a lot like Santa Monica or Seattle. Winnipeg is quite dangerous so don’t go there
CA is not cool anymore...it used to be 20 years ago
Scrap cash I was talking about Winnipeg compared to Canada
Tony Delariva yes but LA and the Bay aren’t the cheap parts of the state rent in places like eureka, Sacramento, Modesto, etc. really isn’t that bad
What state has the fewest people from California moving there? That would have to be the best state.
I haven't read a more true comment ever!
A great job, as always Nick. I like your singing once again too
Haha ok josh
Colorado sucks. Lived here for years, unless you want to go live in the mountains there’s really no point in moving here. Can’t wait to leave.
Which city?
Truth. Most people live in the Front Range, which is way too expensive for being an overgrown suburb with almost zero culture. Like you said, the only way living in Colorado is worth it is if you can live in the mountains, which I don't. Hopefully moving out in February.
All that said, Colorado is the only state I would live in the West other than California.
Rachel_Rebel_Makeup Right outside Denver. It has all the negatives of a “big city”, but doesn’t offer many positives usually associated with “big cities”
Marco I always like Colorado when I visit, I’ve been going since childhood but haven’t been since 2013. It seems like a lot has changed.
I'm a Colorado native. I used to love this state. Now I'm over it. Moving to AZ in the fall. We'll see how that goes

I was going to buy a house in Montecito(santa barbara) until I found out that there would be a good chance that my house would either be covered in mud, from a massive mud slide, or burnt to a crisp from a brush fire episode...lol....That is when I said, "Virginia, you look better and better by the day"...lol...Of course california is the worst....lol...I mean, d*mn when you have high regulations, highest taxes in the nation, allowing people to steal up to $900 in grand store theft, without the court giving them a felony or receiving jail time, on top of all the homelessness, & raising the price of gas tax without public voting, so yes, I would say that it's 'predictable' that California "SHOULD" be the worst; perhaps with the exception of Hawaii...lol...
As of 7/2022 average house in Montecito is $6,000,000.00
@@robinscottmarsh846 in the overall scheme of things, it's not worth living in Santa Barbara and I know that Oprah Winfrey partially regrets spending all that money to buy all that land and build that house 'add-on' to her land, when her FIRST intuition was to buy land, right here, in the great state of Virginia and build any size house she wanted for at least 50% LESS of what it cost her to do the same thing in California.
Why are you against population density?? Such a weird thing, I know would no want to live in an empty state, which is why I would never live in WY, MT, or ID
Anti social people live there
hmm might go back west and live in Utah or idaho though I’ve never been
Both great places to live, as far as I know!
how stressed you are in Seattle/WEST Coast depends souly upon how much money you make, as the more money you make, the exponially its easier to completely AVOID everything stressful - - - so although it may seem like OR/WA should be higher on the list, As far as here in the Emerald city, if you make above 50K and make use of your time, or simply take advantage of any/all free social resources its quite easy to live a pretty relaxed comfortable peaceful life almost just about anywhere in the PNW.
That was fun 👍! The West is a lot of ground to cover, haha. Looking forward to seeing the upper Northeast worse to best rankings.
Can't wait either Don.
MUCH LOVE FROM UTAH!!!!!!!!
hi!
Nick Johnson 👋😊
My dude put Wyoming and Idaho as one of the best 🤦♂️, what am I going to do pick potatoes and live on a farm. He didn't even mention the urban lifestyle.
Wow you sound uneducated haha Wyoming is unbeatable for mountains and had vast desert too, and Idaho is never ending rivers and waterfalls, canyons and mountains, not to mention Boise being the a top 3 fastest growing city in the US... for a reason, it’s beautiful and clean and the potatoes stereotype is hilarious, you really think the whole state is one big farm? Lmao get real
@@IWrockerdude there are 500,000 people in the whole state of Wyoming, there is more people in my neighborhood than the whole state. Idaho's potatoes isn't a stereotype, Idaho is known for their agricultural sector. btw Idaho has some really beautiful nature, but if I care about nature that much I'll probably move to new Zealand or somewhere more beautiful.
Wyoming and Montana look like stunning places.
Utah too! Simply stunning and underrated places in the US.
Great video 👍👍👍
Thank you 👍 Michael
Idaho has the Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve, which I think is considered a national park. They have a number of national forests too. Watched a documentary on Idaho with my mom last Christmas - absolutely gorgeous state.
Utah really does deserve that win.
I enjoy your videos and I was wondering if you have done one on the best cities to live in the south?
