Iowa
4
Iowa is a great place to live. The cost of living is relatively low,and it isn't overcrowded like much of the east coast. The majority of the people are sensible, not holding too extreme of views on anything (with the exception of Iowa City, as much as I like the University of Iowa, it does attract a lot of wackos). I suppose it doesn't have that much for a tourist, but I don't consider that to be very important. Some people complain about the weather, but I actually enjoy having distinct seasons instead of having the same weather every day.
UPDATE: 42 out of 50?! Iowa may not be for everyone, but that low of a ranking tells me that a lot of people who rated this have either haven't left their car while driving through on I-80, or haven't been to the state at all.
UPDATE: I'm currently a bit disappointed in my state, or particulary it's Supreme Court Justices, so I'm deducting a star. They just overturned the ban on gay marriage. More legislating from the bench...
UPDATE: Even with the disagree button, the funny abuse continues. I fail to see anything funny about this review.
