Best/worst regions of the US.

Like states or cities or climates or timezones or geographical location or culture or what? Like are we going by best state sammich or most likely to think the Confederates had a point?
If you are looking at housing prices avoid California. Half the bay area is completely ridiculous and the other half is just hard to imagine. It trickles down as you continue.
Is Boise a region?
Also, I think Florida being in the Southeast automatically disqualifies it from being the best.
Well, I've no idea if it really is that bad, but the film "Nebraska" definitely put me off going to Nebraska.
I don't have much experience of the USA, and I've only been there on business so didn't even see that much of the places I went to: Atlanta, Chicago, San Diego, DC and Boston. Of those, I think San Diego and Boston came out tops in my estimation. Okay, I guess I've seen the US side of Niagara Falls as well, briefly popping over from Canada, but that doesn't really count.

As a tourist, I think my favorite place in the US was Austin, Texas. Nice weather, not a lot of people. Wish I could have tried more of the food.
Worst? Toss up between New York and California. New York is just too tight and tense, California (in the places I stayed) was just a whole lot of highways and nothing.

He was speaking in terms of number of old racists, drugged addled guys name Liam, mosquitos, alligators, hurricanes and political corruption per capita. If you love all those things, go to the South East!
Depends how you define "region" and considering OP didn't specify, it probably can't be denied.
Too many variables to judge best/worst, and as I've never been to the USofA, I really couldn't say other than to relay anecdotes of those acquaintances (whose opinion matters to me, at least) that have been, and I'll simply say: best - where my extended family live and are happy (can't remember where my aunt lives, but I believe it's Indiana somewhere, then add Houston & NYC); worst - everywhere else.

Depending on how you define "best." Best at what?
The states on the west coast are by far the prettiest according to data.

Apparently it's happened more than once, thanks to the same culprit.

Parts of Oregon and Washington are very pretty so this doesn't surprise me.
I was told from a very reputable source that the best place in all the US of A is the border of Indiana and Michigan so the Midwest then. That source was a gas station attendant at a Casey's at 2am in Iowa that said he's been everywhere but Hawaii and that he's gonna move to Indiana/Michigan because of Lake Michigan.

I haven't been everywhere (haven't had a chance to visit the deep south yet), but I've been a lot of places all across the US and both coasts. I was pretty partial to Colorado, except for the occasional car destroying hail storm. Also I'm not sure why they keep shooting each other (probably the high altitude).
Ha, I bumped into the guy at Casey's on the way to Colorado (from Northwest Indiana) a couple weeks back. We rented a place at around 9,000 feet with a hot tub, it was really nice. Everyone but me was affected by the altitude. The dry air was a bit annoying on the nose though, I'm guessing you'd adjust over time. The closest city about 40 mins away was neat where all the chain business had to abide by a mountain-y aesthetic.
Having lived in Idaho for a year, probably counts. I was on the other end of the state (20 minutes away from Rexberg where one of the BYU's is at, and about 2 1/2 hours from West Yellowstone, try Wild West Pizza at least once when you go to Yellow Stone).
There are about 2.5 million people in state so there might be a while before you get to another town, or realize you were in one.
