I think that's questionable. New York itself is varied given the almost New England-ish vibe on the upper stretches of the Hudson, the very rural Adirondacks, and the Great Lakes Buffalo area. With the inclusion of NJ and PA, you'd get the Jersey Shore, the differing bits of North and South jersey, Pennsylvania Dutch country, the Philadelphia megalopolis, and Appalachia.

Unless New york city is NOT in the state of New york, I dont see how they canceled it out.

Cali, but I don't think NY is getting a fair shake here.

Naw, it still wouldnt, because with california, you have extremes, in cali there are deserts and near the deserts are high snow-capped mountains. Then there are beaches not to far from those mountains. Then you got redwood forest that can match ANYWHERE on the eastcoast in northern cali, and plenty of agriculture, sierre nevadas, the salton sea down in the socal deserts, yosemiti valley, big sur, then you got the variety of cities,like SF, and LA, SD, Sac, and the agricultural towns in the eastern half of the state. Im sorry i just dont think the mid-atlantic could handle california diversity. Not even close, let alone NY state by itself. Cali has beaches that can match and triumph jersey shore, and rural areas that can match the adrionacks, and the dutch areas. NY may have a new english vibe, but in cali you have a desert mexican vibe in the south, and an EXTREMELY different northwestern vibe in norcal. It's EXTREMELY varied. Waaaay more so then NY and the rest of the mid-atlantic. The mid-atlantic just can't compare.

I just love the more historic vibe you get in NY state... But is this really a fair comparison?

So if i answered the unfair question, i would say CA
But having NYC included automatically gives my vote to NY.

Even if you included NYC it STILL wouldnt compare. NYC is only ONE city compared to a LARGE state of 37million. NYC couldnt carry NYstate that far as to put it ahead of CA.

Why isnt it?

Cali is obviously the most beautiful state (only 2 states can really compete IMO: Hawaii and Alaska, depending on what you like) . But people are making new york state seem like NYC, Westcher and Long Island are all new york has.
