You mention car insurance and roads. That gave me an idea you might want to explore: Best/Worst states to own a car. You could look at car insurance rates, gas prices, road conditions, toll roads, best/worst drivers, maintenance/repair costs, taxes, licensing and registration, and costs to buy or replace a car. Whatever stats sound interesting and impact the cost of owning a car.

If you drew a curved line from Whitehall to Lansing to New Buffalo you can expect some dreary weather. I read somewhere that it's the dreariest part of the country this side of Seattle. It's common to have 30 days or more. in the winter. when you don't see the sun. It sucks! HARD!

Sadly with trains today being diesel-electric they are not as bad polluters as all other ways of moving products and people. Michigan's larger cities have no mass transit which I have always found strange, I always thought the big three had something to do with stopping mass transit because even today the largest customer base is their own workers which is not a bad deal for either side until the plant closes.

Every third friend I had growing up was Italian and we had some incredible authentic pizza place when I was growing up (Nick's Pizza). If you are in the metro-Detroit area and eat a Buddy's or Cloverleaf square, deep-dish pizza, you know you have had great pizza. You can also get great thin-crust pizza in Michigan as well. Almost every Michigan city has a very good pizza place. Michigan has the lakes, the UP, Frankenmuth, the Mackinac Bridge and Mackinaw Island and beautiful fall colors.

I don't believe the statement about bugs is accurate, and any searches I've done confirm that Michigan is not in the top 10 for states with the most bugs. We have nearly 6 months of almost no bugs or spiders. We may be swarmed with mosquitoes for the rainier times during warmer months, there are definitely more spiders (non-poisonous) near lakes, and a few days during the year when mayflies or fishflies swarm (they live less than 24 hours and all appear at once), but other than that, the most buggy places I've ever been to were outside of Michigan. There are also a lot of insects that simply can't survive or thrive here. From my online research, the same 10 states keep showing up as the buggiest: 1. Florida 2. Louisiana 3. Texas 4. California 5. Georgia 6. New York 7. Mississippi 8. Alabama 9. Missouri 10. South Carolina

First of all, thank you for your service we appreciate that. But you got a few things wrong here. I live in michigan and I'm outside constantly in the summer and I've probably only gotten about eight or nine mosquito bites this year and we've had a lot of rain. So your friend must just be prone to insect bites. My brother lives down south and he said they're worse down there and he grew up in Michigan. Also, houses in the suburbs of Detroit are in a shortage and it is definitely a seller's market. The housing market here is strong. And there are tons of places for pizza. The area my family lives in has about nine or ten pizza places in about a twelve mile radius. You can't just be looking at statistics or ask two or three people you know because it doesn't seem like you're getting it right. What you did get right is the fact that can get cold here (we have not had a ton of snow the last few years) but we don't have the wildfires and the heat that they're having outwest, thankfully but unfortunately for them. I used to live out there so I understand. We also don't have tornadoes and hurricanes. And yes, car insurance is ridiculously priced. I don't know why they don't just fix it. Although they did pass something last year that brought your car insurance down about 30 bucks a month or more depending on what you have. Yes, many of the roads suck. But part of the problem is the trucks that are on the freeways, they don't have a weight limit and that can cause issues. Also, they need to use a different material because whatever they're using now doesn't seem to last longer than five to eight years. And P.S. The opioid crisis is everywhere and part of the reason is because doctors over-prescribe it which is causing addiction in many people who wouldn't normally be addicted. And yes, human trafficking is absolutely horrific, an act performedby sick people. But, unfortunately, it happens everywhere. Everywhere. So to say don't move to Michigan because of it is not really fair. And just so you know, there are many, many, many, many jobs here right now, employers are having a hard time getting enough people to apply. I've never seen so many job openings in the suburbs of Detroit and in Detroit. So I call BS on those unemployment statistics. Many employers right now need help and are short-staffed. There are pros and cons of every state but Michigan is a wonderful State and offers numerous things for people to do and enjoy and there's lots of adventure all around in all four seasons.

Yeah downtown Detroit has gotten pretty cool these days...but it's probably not right for most people. I have traveled to all 50 states and I can tell you that only some parts of the Deep South, New Jersey, Connecticut and Massachusetts seemed a little bit less happy than Michigan (with the exception of those three smaller cities I mentioned above, which are great places).

@@nothat0therguy992 I have spent lots of time in Manistee and while I would say that Northern Michigan is very pretty and laid back for the most part, the smaller towns are not very open to outsiders and tend to have a rather standoffish attitude, unless you are in one of the resort towns or Traverse. There's not much in the way of work up in this region except for some seasonal work in places like Mackinac. For the most part the people in the smaller areas do tend to be grouchy, although possibly less grouchy than the people in the south. Wisconsinites are much much more open to outsiders than Michiganders, in general. But you might meet a few who could break the ice. I was in Ludington in need of a tow last week and the wrecker driver was as chatty and friendly as could be. But my overall experience is that standoffishness tends to be the norm in the state, cliqueishness and churchiness in Grand Rapids.

@@MichiganUSASingaporeSEAsia Michigan does have some problems like the roads, shaking economy at times, and the lack of mass transit is an issue (well kinda an USA problem too). Half the country gets snow but Briggs is exaggerating it like only Michigan gets snow. Southeast Detroit gets ~40 inches, west Michigan gets ~60 inches, and only the UP gets 100+ and only 300,000 people live up there so it barely affects anyone in the state. It’s ok to fault something when it’s a problem, but when you have something so little that’s exacerbated then it becomes petty because you can’t avoid bugs because they’re everywhere. Maybe other states have other bugs but they’re still there.

I'm seeing a lot of Michiganders here trying to defend the state with intangibles, i.e. "we have four seasons and four lakes". But what does your state truly offer, aside from crumbling infrastructure, racial segregation between the suburbs and Detroit, and poisoned water that has yet to be rectified? On top of that, your car insurance rates are laughable. I've lived in the state for nearly three decades and have no regrets about leaving it. Intangibles do nothing in the face of reality, especially when statistics and facts disprove the Disney fairy tale that Michiganders portray their state to be.

Well let's see... insurance can be higher but we don't have annual emissions tests that cost $100+ like a lot of states do. So that's really a wash. Our weather from May to Mid October is probably the best in the country (usually sunny and 75-85). We have one of the best falls in the country. And we have a short relatively mild winter compared to surrounding states because the Great Lakes keep us warm. Couple that with no air pollution, no wildfires, abundant clean water, more shoreline than any other state... and Michigan is truly the best state to live in! Oh yeah, and Michigan is super affordable and always one of the biggest states for adventure tourism in the country.

I live in a small town now and only a Walmart and couple of grocery stores. People are generally nice but this is their world and their view.

I wouldnt believe your friend if I were you.....not a good source of reliable information there. We've had two good snowfalls this year ...lol. Shoveled out...snow disappeared for a week or so got a 2nd storm... That too disappeared with a 10-14 days. It's been green and rainy ever since...oh, and FYI...those storms were BEFORE Christmas!! As to mosquitoes...are no worse than any other state...and I've been through most of them... We occasionally have a few weeks of really hot weather in the summer...that's what are lakes are for...cooling off. With jobs, there's plenty...if you can get people to work... government kinda spoiled the nation with the pandemic ( another story for another time) I've yet to see any state thriving the way we did back in the 70's and 80's...loss of the auto and furniture industries have hurt...but that's what happens when big corporations decide to pull out and go overseas for cheaper labor and line their own pockets...again you can thank those affiliated with the government. So, before you go deciding to trash all these states, I suggest you do your homework better...quit looking at old outdated stuff on the web, or from friends that might be remembering days in the past or hearsay... Every state has their pluses and minuses... You do a disservice to our nation and states all in the name of earning a some $$$ from these crappy videos .. people will be better off watching videos on the BEAUTY of the states and all it's places to visit.
