The first two responses I will vouch for as I moved from Texas to Maryland. Weather sucks in both places.

Pennsylvania -

No realistic way to do it, but I'd love for there to be no more road construction. Ever. I'm 26, and they have been working on 22 since I was little.

Yeah, I don't understand the Denver hate either. Especially why one would want to give it up and bring in Cheyenne, of all places.

Me, I want better fall colors and a longer fall season...and some lakes. Give me a Great Lake any day....fucking Michigan is hoarding them all.

That's a solid answer too. There are no large bodies of water here at all.

Ugh, speaking of the weather. 6" of wet and heavy on my patio this morning. I'm sure it'll all be melted by the time I get home from work. *sigh*

I think the Denver hate might be because there are a lot of conservatives in Colorado and Denver is fairly liberal. Is that it?

If that were the case, then they should be attacking the People's Republic of Boulder.

Connecticut... kill the property tax on cars.

While we're at it, how about setting a cap on the mill rate that towns can charge. It sucks that I'm paying twice as much property tax as the town next to me!

Need some beaches and more Latin women.

Also, somebody needs to let some of these guys know that just because they're not from the South, they can still be racists.

British Columbia (not a state, but whatever, I want to participate).

I would like a little more snow in Vancouver in the winter. That's all I can think of right now.

Pennsylvania:

Make the asinine liquor laws more reasonable - they are more blue than the blue laws of my home state of Texas.

I'd get ride of this out of control pollen counts.

My allergies can't take it anymore.

And to once and for all be done with the 100 miles of construction you're greeted with when entering the state From FL.

Kahleeforneeya...

There's such a long list of things I'd like to change here, I don't know where to start.

Send ALL the illegal immigrants home. That SHOULD:

Reduce the overall tax burden because we are no longer supporting them/providing services for them

Reduce housing costs, fewer people, costs go down.

Drastically reduce the crime rate.

Bring medical costs down...doctors and hospitals no longer having to provide services for which they never get paid...SHOULD reduce costs.


I'd like to carve some LARGE holes in the Coastal Range. Let more fresh ocean air into the Central Valley. Maybe it wouldn't be so fucking hot in the summer, nor as gawd-dammed foggy in the winter.

I'd like to bulldoze most of Oakland, Berkerly, Emeryville and Richmond. Get rid of the fucking ghetto and the ghetto-rats that infest those areas.
Build NICE homes there...so that people can live there without the high crime rates. (yeah...sure...that'd work :roll: )

hell, while we're at it, let's break Kahleeforneeya off and move it just slightly south of Hawaii...D:d

HOWEVER, no beaches for Nevada...just TALL cliffs at the ocean. :D

Don't they do all of the crap work down there that nobody else wants to do? Who will take care of all of those crappy jobs when they leave?

They do a hell of a lot of it for sure.

Legal residents at a higher cost.
