I'm inclined to believe that based on what came up for New York, people googling New York are thinking of New York City, not New York State. #arrogantdownstater
I didn't check yet to see if a similar issue came up for Washington State. Did "useless" come up as an adjective for it? If so, I will assume the searchers were asking about DC.
I feel like the people asking the first one and the third one have not been hanging out in the same areas...
lol! I guess they figure it's pretty expensive for someplace that seems so ghetto.
The ghetto areas are not the expensive areas. Not by a long shot. (sorry, I have lots of MD pride.)
Eclaire - are you serious about the volunteer state thing? because I know but am embarrassed to share my dorkiness if you know :-) (my three best friends from college are from Tennessee. I am full of random Tennessee knowledge.)

We got broke, liberal, anti-gun and expensive. The last three are clearly about the coastal areas and not our gooey red center. First one is totally justified, though the list should include "dude" somewhere.

Nope. My guess is that the googling they did was for "Washington state"
WA is rainy, cloudy, important, liberal.
...which is true of the Seattle area, but definitely NOT true of eastern Washington, which is a hot, dry, desert and very very politically conservative. And not important.

Not that the whole of Baltimore City is ghetto, but for what you get, property taxes are double or more than anywhere else, including Howard and Montgomery Counties which are always cited as 2 of the wealthiest counties in the country. Also, it's not like food, clothing, utilities, etc are much less expensive in the "ghetto" areas than anywhere else. So yeah, while the nice areas are much MORE expensive, we probably have some of the most expensive ghetto areas in the country.
But boring? I don't know who could call MD boring unless you sit on your ass watching TV all day. There are so many things to do in this state and because it's relatively small - everything is close. No other state where you can be at the beach or mountains in 2.5 or 3 hours, go see all there is to see in DC on a whim. The Kennedy Center, The Lyric, 2 NFL teams, 2 MLB teams, an NBA and an NFL team. So many colleges, the best medical centers in the country, dozens of museums and resturants. Now, even gambling. You'd have to be insane to think MD is boring.

Ditto much of this for Oregon. I'm unclear as to how OR got the "boring" label. Coast, mountains, urban stuff, rural stuff, beer, festivals...WTF, people? How can all that be boring?

Lol, when I saw the title of this thread, "broke" is the first thing I thought.

No, it's true. When I tell people from NY, I always have to clarify. Lest they ask me about the Yankees.
And those descriptions do not indicate all of NY. Big - not really, populated - not really (considering the population of all of upstate is the same as the NYC metro area), expensive - nope, not unless you're in NYC, really. Great? Yes.
