1st Choice, AL: Great weather, 2nd to none powder white sand beaches with palms and clear
blue green Gulf of Mexico water, plus mountains, nice size cities, Southern culture.
2nd Choice, NM: Great weather, cool, artsy cities, great skiing, sun 350+ days a year, incredible
mountain vistas, Spanish culture.
3rd Choice, IA: Nice cities, clean, but last choice due to poor weather and boring topography.
there are only a few artsy cities, most of NM isnt artsy, its the tourist areas that give that impression.
Choosing between these 3 states is a very odd combination.
Iowa is all cornfields, probably not many jobs available, harsh winters, probably not much to do for young people, and the pace of life is very slow.
Alabama is very southern and more redneck, dont know what there would be to do for young people, dont know about the jobs available.
New Mexico has the southern Rocky Mountains and at least has tons of outdoor ammenitites, Albuquerque wouldnt be a bad choice, dont know what jobs are available, atleast there is solid population growth.
Its a tough choice between these three, but I would go with New Mexico but by a slim margin.

You're kidding right? In the Iowa has many more jobs than the rest of the country, it has 6.7 unemployment I think, and the two largest metropolitan areas, Des Moines, the capital, and Omaha, which is actually in Nebraska, have very low unemployment rates, 5.7 for Des Moines and 4.8 for Omaha.
I pick Iowa cause it has a far better 4 season climate, the best scenery, more interesting things to do and a stable non housing bubble dependent economy.
Wow you're such an *******. Was that comment really neccesary? All three of these states are way better places to live then that hick hell hole Alabama
Originally, I was wanting to go to Iowa. But life ended up taking me to New Mexico, where I have been for the past 4 years. And I couldn't have asked for anything better.
However, I choose Iowa. NM is not bad, though. Iowa was my first love. Never been to Alabama.
