I’m aware that, at the moment, Florida is deemed unsafe for people to travel to, but what is generally the worst state to live in? Factors such as education, religious extremism, crime, cost of food, healthcare, and access to other resources are relevant. Will “Deep South” states remain one of the worst places to live in due to traditionalism, or are more progressive states bound to grow worse?

    ARCO nearby is at $5.99/gal for Premium. Shell across the street is $5.79/gal Premium.

    Yesterday went to Carl’s Jr and ordered two Super Star w Cheese meals, no additional items and had to pay $32, so Id say pretty close to $15 per meal.

    Orange County, where these prices would be expected.

      Sounds like you live in an expensive pocket, like near beach or a special neighborhood.

      Use google to find gas near you it lists out prices . I was just in garden grove yesterday. Gas was 4.80 to 5.20. If you are driving a sports car that needs premium gas your going to pay more to enjoy more .

      I took my extended family out in garden grove , 7 people for dinner at $130 before tip to a decent sit down place. McDonalds and Taco Bell at 6-10 for a meal.

      Even near Disney in Anaheim prices are better than you listed out. I can grab a full meal at Denny’s for about 12-15.

      When I first moved to ca I lived in a cool community where I could afford rent. Daily life was so expensive I was riding the bus an hour to get groceries.
      Now pay more in rent and less in everything else in a boring place. Moving a few miles will make a difference for you.
