Not bad if you’re poor, either.

#5Mischaracterization in the title. Actual title, which I think matters, is: "California’s quality of life is the worst in the country: Says who?"
Perhaps correct? It does change the tone.

It does set a tone, but after reading the article, I failed to find a justification for "says who?" There doesn't seem to be a defense or rebuttal for the quality of life assessment.

#8From the article:
> In case it makes you feel any better, while California stinks in terms of quality of life at least it didn’t rank dead last in the overall rankings. We came in at No. 32 overall, although that’s well behind New Jersey (at No. 19), Florida (at No. 15), and Nebraska (at No. 7). Ouch.
> The bottom line? The state performed well in terms of its economy, coming in at No. 4 (hello, high tech boom) but it fared terribly in categories such as citizen opportunity (No. 46) and fiscal stability (No. 43) in addition to the dreaded quality-of-life assessment (that scarring No. 50). Of course, as anyone who has tried to buy a house in the Bay Area knows, fiscal instability is basically our motto at this point.
I think it's also interesting that Mississippi, Arkansas, and New Mexico were in the top 10 for "quality of life," but bottom 10 overall: https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/rankings

#9From a foreigner point of view who keeps reading about California, it seems both like a fascinating and terrifying place. So advanced yet so backward in some ways

#10Californians: Please don't move to Iowa or any of the other top 10 overall. Please stay and fix your own state.
