Re: Best state in America to live,California or Florida?And 2nd best state to call ho
Hi, This is my first time on here. I have lived in Maine, California, Wisconsin, Oklahoma, and have visited about 40 of the 50 states. I now live in God's Country, South West Missouri. It is absolutly gorgeous, we are on a huge lake, with fabulous scenery and four seasons. Low cost of living and low taxes.
Try it you might like it.

There are many places I would like to see in the US but God's country isn't here ...it's Yorkshire, England.

Sounds like you're on Taneycomo's big brother, which is also beautiful, especially in the fall.

It is pretty where you are! I try to make it to Taneycomo once a year or so for a fishing trip/family vacation. We stay at one of the small lodges and try not to go into Branson though, too much traffic! Sounds like you're on Taneycomo's big brother, which is also beautiful, especially in the fall.

There are loads of resorts and great fishing, try it sometime.

I used to go to Table Rock with my Dad when I was younger. I think we stayed on Indian Point somwhere. I haven't been there in years though, maybe it's time to ty it again. A friend of mine honeymooned at the Bass Pro Lodge on Table Rock and really liked it. It looks very nice, but not cheap.

We have some very reasonable cozy cabin resorts, and you can actually swim and boat without getting run over.
If you do decide to come, get in touch and I will give you some names of some good places to stay.
This is a very small community, but there are 15 Brits that I know of within 25 miles of here. I have a small "British" food section in my store just for them. Marmite is the favorite.

You were at the "other" end of the lake. Indian Point is near Silver Dollar City.

Not easy deciding where best to live in America.50 states are a lot to pick from.Cost of living,safety concerns,pleasant scenery and where best to get quality of life are all important factors when picking a place to call home.If you could pick California or Florida which of those two states would you pick and why?Does the high price housing market make California less attractive ? What other states are excellent choices in your opinion?

I'm rather partial to Colorado, New Mexico, Oregon, Washington, Montana, and Utah myself. California and Florida? Meh....
