Here's a telling bit from the article:

But cities can easily make it to the top of one list and rank poorly on another, he said. Case in point: One recent Forbes.com list ranked Charlotte as one of the country's most miserable cities, a ranking, not surprisingly, that Crumbley and others disagree with.

Forbes also ranked it as one of the best places to invest in foreclosures, in part because the real-estate market there is relatively stable.

"If they're good, you use them. If they're bad, I won't tell you you should ignore them � you look at them," he said of the lists on which Charlotte appears. But negative rankings aren't likely to end up getting used as a marketing piece for the city.

Why would you want to live in Texas?
An entire state filled with people with overinflated senses of self-importance.

We went to Asheville years ago when we lived in NC. Saw the Biltmore estate, the mountain views were amazing but the one memory that stands out about the place, is that night we went out to dinner and couldn't get a drink...Asheville is in a dry county.
