    Just shows the map creators biases, more than anything.

    I’d not be happy in NH (no offense, beautiful to visit, skiied there a LOT, just not where I want to live).

    The weights the map creator puts on things makes this a map of their values.

    Maryland being 11? Yea, fuck that. Being trapped between 2 shit holes of DC and Baltimore, the insane traffic, etc (I know of what I speak, spent a LOT of time there). Lots of folks love that kind of business/chaos, I do not.

    ND at 14? I don’t think the map creator has ever been to the Dakotas - it takes a special person to live where winters are that rough. ND has the lowest temps of the lower 48. Long stretches of zero and below. Only Alaska gets colder.

    Jersey at 13…hahahahahahahahahaha

      It’s not a map of favorite vacation spots. It’s overall wellness.

      Sure, you might not be a fan of cold winters, but laying on the beach is no fun when you have no money and you’re slowing dying of a disease you can’t get treatment for.
