Would you rather live in Massachusetts or Virginia?

[TDAS04]

Massachusetts. 

[Kamala]

I'd take SoCal over both of these, but Massachusetts. Better schools, opportunities, etc.

[Mr. Reactionary]

The good one (Virginia).

[The Govanah Jake]

Western Mass and Cape Cod/Plymouth is ideal.

[America Needs R'hllor]

These would probably be my two favourite places to live. The NoVA suburbs sound like a place I'd like very much, and studying in Harvard, living in Cambridge, MA is kind of a hopeless dream I always had. Giving the edge to VA because it's more of a place to live a whole life.

[President of the great nation of 🏳️‍⚧️]

I'm going home, I guess.

[JA]

Massachusetts. Who the hell would want to live in godforsaken Virginia?

[Mr. Illini]

Massachusetts. NoVA is a sprawly mess and the rest of the state is the South.

[Figueira]

Ultimately Massachusetts, but since I already live in Massachusetts and wouldn't mind a change of scenery I wouldn't mind moving to Virginia for a while (although it wouldn't be my first choice).

[Mr. Smith]

The one with the Shenandoahs.

I loved my undergraduate years back there.

Give me a billion bucks, and I'm settlin' back in Lynchburg with it's glorious seven hills that haven't become tourist trapped [like San Francisco or Rome...or even Edinburgh].

[Santander]

The one that's not entirely bad...

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Baaaaaaston

[RINO Tom]

Tough choice, not overly knowledgeable about either.  Everyone who has ever visited Boston says it's awesome.  Not a fan of NOVA/DC in general from my visits to see my aunt, but I have heard Virginia Beach and Richmond are both quite nice.  Then again, Cape Cod is pretty much a more commercialized, bigger Door County, so ... I don't know, LOL.

Lean MA.

Eh, no.  Not unless you're a fan of corrupt police departments, drive-by shootings, and robbery.

Although there is (supposedly) a pot dealer on every block if you're looking for that.

I'm originally from Peoria, so the first three things about even out with the last positive you listed.

[Fuzzy Bear]

Probably Virginia. 

That being said, I like Massachusetts, but it's extremely expensive, and given my age, Virginia is a better place to retire.

Lean MA, but I'd love to visit Virginia for sure.

[fhtagn]

[Del Tachi]

Virginia, particularly Richmond or Charlottesville.  Way more tolerable winters, better drivers, and closer to DC/the real South.

Hasn't Mass been consistently ranked one of the safest states to live in?

Virginia. I don't like traffic or high taxes.

Massachusetts is a beautiful state to visit, though.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah. ~breath~ Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

But seriously, the I-95 is just as much as mess in Virginia as it is up there. NOVA is reliably a swamp too on the Beltway and I-66.

Sometimes even the I-81 and I-64 [usually 'round C-ville] get crazy.

All of NOVA is a horrific place to drive through. I remember on a trip back from Pennsylvania last year that the traffic was so awful on the Beltway that I decided to take an alternate route out of Philly that, unbeknownst to me, included crossing the Chesapeake Bay Bridge to Annapolis (didn't know how huge it is) and the US 301 bridge from Maryland to Virginia. I mean, it did save time and avoid traffic, but my god.
