The 10 best places to live:
2. Auburn, Ala.
4. Boise, Idaho
5. Durham, N.C.
Each link above is to the U.S. News facts summary page. Or read a short narrative summary for each of the 10.
Thanks to Dwight for the link. He warns “Get ready to be overrun by people moving to Albuquerque. Build a wall around the city? Fire the Chamber of Commerce for doing too good of a job?”
Or see house prices rise again.
Far too windy and dusty in your burque for me. Funny that the description mentions, “calm winds.”
Alabama, Texas, Florida? San Luis? what about Diablo Canyon right around the corner. Skiing in Wisconsin?
Who makes this stuff up?
Best place to live despite the second highest “high crime” statistic. More than twice the national average.
I lived in San Luis Obispo (and surrounding areas) for ten years and it is beautiful there. Yes, Diablo Canyon is right there in Avila Beach but it’s no big deal. (Anymore.) One of the best places I’ve ever lived but it is EXPENSIVE and jobs are hard to find. It’s a college town (I went to Cal Poly.) so that can be annoying. Otherwise a true gem in the middle of California.
I also lived very near San Luis Obispo for a bit over a year and I really loved it, but I’ll take Portland over SLO any time.
Being less blatant than the advertising for California and Florida during their early development, I suspect the gov’t is trying to encourage people to move out of the rust belt ; )
