As the economy continues to crumble and as millions of Americans find it nearly impossible to find a good job, many of them have been wondering if things are any better in other parts of the country. And without a doubt, some areas of the U.S. are complete and total disaster zones at this point. For example, so many houses have been abandoned in Detroit that the mayor has proposed bulldozing one-fourth of the city. In Las Vegas, it was estimated that approximately 65 percent of all homes with a mortgage were "underwater" at the height of the housing crash. The number of people unemployed in the state of California is approximately equal to the populations of Nevada, New Hampshire and Vermont combined.

the state you should be in is:
1. debt free
2. own land to grow food
3. guns and ammo
4. silver coins
5. a year of food
6. a skill that is useful
The UP would be a fine outpost if you’re capable of dealing with the cold winters.
When there is uncertainty, typically best place to be is on the ground you are most familiar with. Instead of moving why not contribute to the reduction of premeditated Obama meltdown? Sure there were events prior to Obama, but he is exacerbating and adding to them for his post America world.
Solution is not to move but grab the bull by the horns.
After building the hobby farm and with the results from the last election...I am sticking with Wisconsin...but will be ready to move if need be...probably to Texas.
Wherever your close family is.
If you are truly homeless and penniless a mild climate will help, so San Diego, California!
Few and easily bypassed...
Yes, I think you’re right. Any State that is self sustaining with energy is going to have the upper hand.
“How soon will we start seeing adverts to emigrate instead?”
Panama already does that.
Is that the State of Denial or the State of Confusion?
ping best states
bump to watch.....
Well said...working on the list...have most of them covered.
We are contemplating a move to Texas as well. i grew up in Ventura county, and have lived in San Diego county the past 16 years, but i think this last election sealed the deal. We have 11 acres in East Texas, though as we both work for the federal government, I suspect we’ll probably end up near San Antonio.
No, it wouldn't be smart to come South. If there is no electric you will die in this heat. Stay up North.
I’m looking at the town of Brookings, OR. Southwestern OR, still conservative, best weather and growing season in the state. Off the main refugee route and backed by a wilderness area. Small town but large enough to have the necessary amenities.
A good spot to go rural.
If I see one more Native Californian toy license plate in the rear window of an Idaho registered BMW or M-B, I may erupt with open range rage and go RFD postal.
the cold is something in Maine unless you're used to it, too. But as long as you can swing an ax, you'll have heat.
My main concern about the south is refugees streaming in from the north. Not that many will be heading to Maine or the UP of Michigan.
How about another question? Forget which state. Which country is the best choice to move to in an attempt to survive the impending economic meltdown? I’m seriously looking.
The pathetic thing about America is that we were number one, while our own government and our own corporations screwed us when it came to creating the soon to be the number one economy in the world.....COMMIE CHINA.
We can squabble about whether the unions did it, but in the end it was our own elected USA officials who made the trade rules that forced us to accept Chinese imports while China rejected ours, and it was our so-called USA companies that made the decision to outsource our jobs.
Every time I see the mega billionaires of Wall Street who sold us out making deals while they received hundreds of billions (actually TRILLIONS) as support from taxpayers it is infuriating.
America First - Tea Party First
A large enough lot to have a good size seasonal garden - and zoning that allows a few chickens.
Please don’t recommend Arkansas. It’s the pits here since Slick Willy, his beautiful missus, and the Huckster went to greener pastures. :0)
