Your sentence says that Alabama is the second best state. I.E. - 49th worst = 2nd best. You meant 49th best - or second to worse I suspect.

What would you expect when the ratings are reported by a yahoo?

Vermont is what? #5? Take a read over in the Vermont forum to see how that is working out for them. Click-bait.

As for Washington, it's nice that the people have such high incomes. Is the cost of living proportionately high? Or does a low cost of living help balance out the benefit of the high incomes? Does it still have earthquakes? A high income can't offset the damage an earthquake can cause.

I have nothing to say about LA's ranking. I have never had any desire to visit that state, even though some really good music has come from its residents.

I would take AL's heat and humidity any day over WA's amount of rain and lack of sunny days. I hate tornadoes, but at least they come with a warning. Earthquakes? I'd have to buy an earthquake-sensing dog. Does the state's benefits program cover earthquake-sensing dogs?

I guess Alabama has the highest Homeless population in the US......Oops that is California who has 25% of the countries total
I guess Alabama's cities streets are full human waste and needles.....Oops, that is also California
I guess Alabama has one of the highest tax rates in the nation......Oops, almost the lowest
I guess this report took cost of living versus income into consideration......Oops forgot that
I guess due to record growth in the state, the only people relocating to Alabama are completely clueless.
Crime rate, guess they forgot that
Natural environment? Give me a break, some of the most beautiful beaches, lakes, miles and miles of undisturbed forests, some of the best hunting iand fishing in the US.
This lady who wrote the articles needs to tell all these companies moving to Alabama either moving from other states or from other countries, creating jobs, and growth just how awful the state is.
Fiscal responsibility? Balanced budget, extremely low tax burden?
This lady must have done her research from CNN and MSNBC.
