I believe that no one state is better than any other state. It is about personal preference and it all comes down to what you like, what you want and what your needs are.
I live in New York City but I am not really a big fan of this place though. Yes, it is a great place but there are also a lot of other things that are not so great. Let me write down a few. In other states, you will hear people complaining about road rage but in NYC, not only will you see road rage but you will also experience sidewalk rage. Is sidewalk rage real? Hell yeah, it is real. Come over to NYC and you will know. You will always be trying to cut in front of people or walking fast enough so that people behind you don't get mad. The mentality here is 'either move or get out of the way'.
The transport system in NYC is pretty good but the first time I stepped into a train car, I thought I had stepped into a different era in time. Here is an example of what you might see and this is real. You will see a homeless guy sleeping in the corner with a big black garbage bag (just imagine the smell), a few Mexicans playing their their guitars for money, some weird looking guy with tattoos all over his body, some stripper-like girls giggling near the pole, a couple of high school kids smooching like they are about to make a baby, young kids crying their lungs out and just when you close your eyes to shut everything out, a beggar will walk in through the emergency exit shaking hard the little coins in the cup that he is carrying. Oh if you are lucky, you might even see rats in the train car but don't worry there will be some normal people around too. LOL.
Oh no, lets not talk about the people. Not only do New Yorkers look angry all the time but their rudeness is beyond belief. New Yorkers think they are experts at everything. My biggest pet peeve is when someone talks about something like he knows it but in actuality he knows nothing. I also feel that New Yorkers are rude or appear rude because they are not afraid to voice their opinions and there is also very litte separation between their private and public life. For example, most of us wouldn't scratch our a** in public but when we are at home we do it. People is NYC aren't embarrassed to scratch it in public. The mentality is "It is my a**, it is my business".
Aside from the negative stuffs of NYC, this place has a very good platform for people who wants to succeed in life. And 'If you can make it in NYC, you can make it anywhere'.
