What US State Should You Live In?
Everybody thinks they want the coast, right up until the questions get specific about rain, rent, winter and who they want standing behind them in a queue. Twelve of those here — the Saturday you would actually take, the commute you would accept, the problem you would rather have — and then one of eight states with the trade-off it demands written down instead of glossed over. Nowhere is only good. Argue with your result, then take it again for the place you already love.
QUESTION 1 OF 12
Your ideal Saturday morning:
- Out of the door by nine, three things planned, coffee on the move.
- Up a hill before most people have got out of bed at all.
- A long breakfast with a lot of people and no particular end time.
- Rain on the window, nothing booked, nowhere at all to be.
Pick one and you're already started.
