I often find so many problems with these studies, but it is always good to see what they come up with each time!

Ditto Patrick’s comments. Houston??? That’s weird. And I agree, David…what’s with their reasoning…martinis/liquor stores?

My wife finished HS in Houston and vows to never return. N.Dallas is the place to be in Texas.

Big thumbs up for Boise! It’s completely different than most people picture it–both sophisticated and humble, fun and forward-looking. Everyone who has visited us here has really been taken with the area. Either way, it beats Sac, or at least the part of Sac I lived in.

I live in Salt Lake City and have been to Provo many times for both work and personal things. It is a very beautiful (and clean) city, like the rest of the metro area. The only caveat I’d mention to living there is the very, very conservative culture. There is a slight counter culture popping up in nearby Orem (a lot of new “punk” music comes from there, and there are a lot of concerts as well), but overall it is a very conservative area. If that isn’t your cup of tea, Salt Lake City has a much more liberal attitude, more big city panache, and is just as beautiful and clean (but just a tad more urban).

Omaha? Omaha? Are you kidding me? After visiting dozens of colleges, my parents told me that the ONLY school they would not pay for was Creighton because Omaha sucked so bad. The only good thing they got going for them is the College World Series.

Wow, I lived in Houston for several years, and I don’t think it is the best place to live… The traffic is horrendous, the weather is awful, nothing is centrally located, and there isn’t much of a definitive city culture (though Houston is working hard to improve its downtown and create more of a culture). I don’t think Houston is a bad place. In fact, there are professional sports teams, great restaurants, solid universities, some of the best medical centers in the nation, and very affordable housing. I just don’t think Houston is the best place in the US. But, I guess that is why these “subjective” rankings stir up so much conversation and controversy.
