Florida vs Hawaii - No contest from me. I prefer Hawaii in almost every facet except cost of living.
New York vs Virginia - New York wins comfortably. It has better bigger cities (carried heavily by NYC), more small cities/towns that I like, better mountains, and a better climate. Virginia is better on the coastal front having a good deal more (particularly unspoiled) coastline, but that's not enough to take it.
California vs North Carolina - Another blowout. There's very little I'd prefer in NC apart from the cost of living.
Colorado vs Maine - Tough one for me. Maine's coast is great and Colorado doesn't have one. But that's where the advantage for ME ends as far as I'm concerned. I love (and have lived in) Portland, but Maine has nothing comparable to Denver. Boulder vs. Portland would actually be a good head-to-head. They're very different in many ways, but they're actually quite comparable in size and there's some definite cultural overlap there (particularly the outdoorsy/earthy/crunchy elements). And as much as I love the mountains of Maine, this one's no contest. Rockies by a mile.
Florida vs Hawaii - not even close, bro. The one thing Florida is awesome at is slaughtered by Hawaii in that same category.
New York vs Virginia - this one is tough. NYC is just too much though.
California vs North Carolina - while California has everything, it's just gotten too wacky and expensive, and NC is a nice balanced state, with great beaches, incredible universities and college basketball. Going with the underdog here.
Colorado vs Maine - it physically hurts me to make a choice on this one. But I gotta give the West a rep in the Final Four.
