Top 100 Places to Live

http://money.cnn.com/galleries/2007/moneymag/0707/gallery.BPTL_top_100.moneymag/

For this year's list we focused on smaller places that offered the best combination of economic opportunity, good schools, safe streets, things to do and a real sense of community.

I stopped reading the list after #1...

My 2nd office is located in Louisville, CO (#3 on the list).
Nice place, but give the listing little credibility given the #1.

Aye.
We feel very fortunate that settled into Apple Valley when we came here to find a place to live.
It's beautiful, the schools are great, the trees are beautiful and it's a nice place to raise a family.

(And that's 12,000!)

I bet that's just because of the Chaska Community Center swimming pool

Because of certain "statistics" and a lot to do with whether it's a nice place to visit.

yeah... it's sort of a crap-shoot list.

If you read the "Best Place for Singles to Live" article... it's a joke. #2 is Durham, NH (pop. 9,000) just because it's on a percentage scale... I have a feeling LA, Miami or NYC are going to have more singles.

Using then methodology... there could be a room of 4 people... 3 of which are single, and that would be one of the "Best Place for Singles to Live"

If you'd like to read this asinine article.... http://money.cnn.com/galleries/2007/moneymag/0707/gallery.BPTL_most_singles.moneymag/index.html

Kent State even made the list.

Maybe I missed it, but is there a link where you can see the entire list w/o having to cycle through all of them.
I hate that.
It's another ploy for website hits and advertising.
