Best and Worst Places to Live

If there's something on your mind that just doesn't seem to fall into any of the other categories, well, it quite likely belongs inside Joe Finneman's marketplace. Think of it as a general store for general discussions!

Yeah him and I are totally and completely opposites with weather. I like 60 degree weather and he would die and but he loves 30 degree weather. I only like it that cold cause he is my personal radiator! ;)

What's wrong with Des Moines? :noway: Actually, I'm not sure why it's on there either...

Atlanta, GA is #61. Downtown Atlanta is pretty bad as far as crime, but it's still awesome. \:D/

I don't think they just picked these places on a whim... I know that Portland and Seattle have bad traffic, but they still aren't the worst places in the world to live. They probably look at a lot of factors to choose, and if a city has a few of those factors, they probably add it to the list, then downsize it to 100 in the end. The ones near the top had more of the factors that they were looking for, and the ones at the bottom have the factors, but lack in something.

Just my observation. If I were to add to the list, I would say Walla Walla could be added because, though it be small, it isn't a bad place.

Sometimes, our own opinions of something aren't the same as someone elses... :)

Ya, really. If I was making this list, I would put all the Alaska cities first and then all the rest, but maybe I'm just alittle bit bius. :anxious:

I don't live too far from a couple of the cities, but I don't live *in* any of them. I'm going over to Louisville this weekend, though! \:D/

Not specifically, no. To everyone in general. People were mad when one city made the list. One person wants all of Alaska to be on the list... I could disagree with that, but that is me...
Just me... :) Amor, Danielle.

Haha, I wasn't serious. I mean, I was serious that, in my opinion, the worst city in Alaska is better than the best city not in Alaska, but I know that that's not most people opinion and that this list was based off of a specific set of data, hence the joke.
