13. I love Georgia

I can't be objective about it.

But hey, you've got mountains, tons of shore, swamps and plains. A whole lot of geography - it's easy to find a terrain that meets your tastes. The people are great.

Admittedly we generated a huge RE bubble in the Atlanta area. That has done us great damage.

Despite the claim that GA is a red state, Zell Miller Democrats reign supreme. The ethos of GA is that life ought to work for folks who are trying. A lot of people don't know this, but GA has an absolutely superior set of support and education programs for developmentally impaired children.
