If you enjoy driving on bad roads, then head over to South Carolina where the roads are the worst in America. Then there is the education system which is placed near the bottom of the ranking list for quality. It’s not an ideal state in which to raise a family either due to the low household income in which it’s hard to meet basic needs.
Georgia

Each state has its pluses and minuses. Just because one place may suck now doesn’t mean it doesn’t have a chance to become one of the best places to live in America. It all comes down to the new policies and local governments focusing on fixing their local problems.
