From my travels, my least favorite is New Mexico. All I saw was trailer parks and casinos.

If we're talking travels, I'm probably gonna catch heat from this but I disliked Hawaii. Overcrowded and so so so very expensive. Everything from driving to eating to just normal day to day things costs an arm and a leg. I honestly don't know how people can live there.

I did enjoy the USS Arizona, but other than that I have zero desire to go back.

New York becoming an absolute craphole. Stuck here for work for awhile longer but will leave at first opportunity. Taxes are just insane.

I will agree that New York City, overall, is awful. But I thought upstate was quite nice.

Upstate is scenic but taxed to the hilt.

The reason Hawaii is so expensive is because back in the 1920s, congress signed a law that said that supply to Hawaii and Alaska shipped by boat had to be on American ships with American crews. If they got rid of the law, it would be much cheaper because the ships from Asia could just stop in Hawaii

I’ve been in about 40 - 42 states. The only thing I remember liking about Oklahoma was a better than average chicken fried steak in Norman, the home of Troy Aikman. The reason I remember that is there were hundreds of signs to remind me.

Not much room for expansion around Honolulu and no where to grow their own food...100% a tourist trap but I'd go back in a heartbeat

Worst states to drive through in my opinion...Kansas and Nebraska.

I've spent at least a night in all 50, with the exception of Alaska. All have pros and cons.

Because of NYC. Oh they have a tax all their own, but we know where a crap load of the other tax $ goes.

I drive from Denver to Michigan every fall for deer season. The stretch from a Denver to Ogallalla, NE is just a barren wasteland but I really liked the rest of Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois and such. I guess it’s because we don’t see much green out here, except for the dispensaries. Traffic is slightly thinner as well.

Drove through nebraska and kansas last summer. Had to be the most boring drive ever. I thought from Albuquerque to Flagstaff was bad before. At least on that stretch the scenery is nice in places.
