For the second straight year,
California took the #1 spot as the state where the most Americans want
to live. Harris didn't say why the majority of its 2,215 respondents might
prefer California with its financial troubles and
a recently recalled governor.
Coming in third despite a decline in tourism was Hawaii,
which like California has a high cost of living according to
Harris. The poll, conducted
online from July 14-20, 2003 named the next most popular states
to live as: Florida (#2), Colorado (#4), New York (#5), Arizona (#6),
Texas (#7), North Carolina (#8), Virginia (#9) & Washington (#10).
