Best Places to Live in USA...apparently
According to Money magazine these are the best places in the US to live. Where I live makes number 14.

These things always just pick small towns where not much happens both here and in the UK.

It is the fact that people get paid to create these pointless lists that always amazes me. There is a shortest commute list too!

21 out of the 25 places in the most pricey homes list are in California. Why am I not surprised?

Re: Best Places to Live in USA...apparently
So for the two of you who are in locations on the list...do you like where you live? Do you agree with your town being included, or in reality is it all just a load of stats that don't really dig deep enough to provide a true picture? After all best might not mean happy.

Re: Best Places to Live in USA...apparently
Yes I do like where I live. As for whether it should have made the list or not....I don't know. I have not been to all of the other places.
I am sure there are many other places that are just as good if not better than where I am but they didn't make it onto the list for whatever reason.

My brother used to live in Eden Prarie. Freezing winters and one of the most boring places ever.

How the hell did Ames make it into the top ten?
