Do you live in Happyland?
A group of social scientists, in their infinite wisdom, came up with a "happiness ranking" for every state in the United States of America. Who knows how accurate this is, but you'll be surprised by the #1 and #51 spots (don't forget Washington, DC!).
#1 – Louisiana. #51 – New York.
WTF?
Actually, I kind of understand New York being dead last. The public transportation in New York City sucks, and it's about to get a lot worse. It's got some of the highest real estate prices on the planet. The public schooling sucks. Unless you've got a bottomless trust fund, NYC ain't all its cracked up to be.
And how can you rank entire states for happiness in the first place? I bet the local community you live in is a lot more important that what state you live in.
Louisiana?

If it’s any consolation, I’m in pretty much the same boat. California’s #46. Ouch.
