28,400 - thekassette, on 07/13/2008, -0/+12Hi, this is from 2007.
- justinx0r, on 07/13/2008, -0/+11Maybe because CNN is an American company that only has Americans in mind as their audience.
- beargrylls, on 07/13/2008, -2/+13Madison, WI >> Middleton, WI
Middleton would be nothing without Madtown. - mattearle, on 07/13/2008, -9/+17Change the title to "100 Best Places to Live in the United States".
Even many Americans, who have traveled outside of the US, would agree that there are plenty of nice places to live not in the US. For example, I live in Bermuda and there are lots of wealthy Americans, like Mike Bloomberg, who would live wherever is "best", because he can, and he chooses to live here. - inactive, on 07/13/2008, -0/+7WTF, theres always someone who has to chime in as you did.
The article is about the 100 best places o live in the United States.
Yes we know there are cool places to live all over the world. WTF is the point of your comment?
I happen to live in 2 different states in the US and Bangkok throughout the year.
Every place eventually becomes a place once the "just arrived" shine wears off. - haentz, on 07/13/2008, -1/+7Well, they did manage to let us browse the list without reloading the damn page. Amazing...
- smartazz, on 07/13/2008, -1/+7There are places outside the US?
- robds, on 07/13/2008, -1/+6Wow, my town is ranked 64th, the exact same as last year! Hey, waitaminute....this is LAST YEAR'S LIST!
- CriX, on 07/13/2008, -0/+5These metrics are for families.... not Diggers.
- RBrenner14, on 07/13/2008, -2/+7NJ ftw.
- LoudMusic, on 07/13/2008, -0/+4http://www.findyourspot.com/
You have to give them an email address at the end to mail a results link to (I think, been a while since I've used the site) but I never got any spam because of them. Or maybe you just give them a fake email address and the results page loads. Never-the-less, it's a great site if you don't like where you are. My wife and I used it, vacationed to several of out top shared spots, and ended up moving to one of them. - lex0nyc, on 07/13/2008, -0/+4I DON'T WANT TO CLICK "NEXT" 100 TIMES!!!!!!
- EverTheCynic, on 07/13/2008, -0/+4That's right. California is one giant, continuous earthquake. We have to strap in wherever we go and our cars have extra special shock absorbers.
I've lived in California for most of my life and never felt an earthquake. The only earthquake I've ever felt was in Afghanistan. - alexmarchuk13, on 07/13/2008, -3/+7We sure are! I love being in New Jersey. No earthquakes like Cali and right next to NYC. What more do you want?
- dampeal, on 07/13/2008, -0/+4buried.. who wants to click 'next' 100 times?!?!?! WTF totally...
- RyGiL, on 07/13/2008, -1/+4Click the article name "And the winners are", not the "See the top 100" link.
http://money.cnn.com/magazines/moneymag/bplive/200 ... - bigbill780, on 07/13/2008, -1/+4These rankings were all made based solely on their distance from New Jersey.
- Eric3k, on 07/13/2008, -0/+3The one hundred best soccer mom communities. I have always found it's better to live in a place where they need you more than you needing them. But one if you need them they rally around you! I bet most of these places are not like that in general. I moved to a town that wouldn't be on the top 1000 list. (although looking though 1000 pages I would never know) but the people are colorful and friendly. It's defiantly not like these places. Is my town the "best"? No... there are dozens like it very close by. A lot on the list try to be mock ups of big cities or burbs that are more like gated communities without the flavor or actual small towns. I would call this the 100 best places to be insulated from the world.
- sodade, on 07/13/2008, -4/+7I am a telecommuter. A few years ago, I decided to move somewhere nice where I could buy a house at a reasonable price with good outdoor access near urban conveniences. I could have picked anywhere in the continental US. I've lived in every area of the US and done a lot of business travel so I had a pretty good perspective on my options.
I ruled out the entire SE because humidity and mosquitoes ***** suck (besides my wife is a vegetarian and, while there are dumb hicks everywhere in the US, the SE has a very high proportion of them).
I ruled out the NE because humidity, mosquitoes and 5-6 months of winter ***** suck.
I ruled out the central states because I like mountains and don't like bible thumpers and again with the wife being a veg.
I ruled out Northern California because the place of my birth that I used to love so much has turned into Southern CA (and you don't need me to tell you why that place is off the list).
I ruled out the NW because I like to see the sun and the only places there with more than a hundred days of sun are on the eastern parts that were too far from airports and urban conveniences.
Narrowed down to the SW/Rockies, you have to look at the cities with decent airports:
Salt Lake City - Utah is great, but mormons scare the ***** out of me.
Denver - the real estate market here is swamped and the whole polluted city is just way too crowded.
Phoenix - umm yeah - ***** that *****
Tuscon - I like the city, but the temps get too extreme. Be a nice place for a winter home though
Vegas - gambling is ***** stupid, I hate smelling cigarette smoke wherever I go and the place is a major RE crash
Albuquerque is where I ended up (in a nearby rural area). If I had kids, I'd have them in a private school anyway so I don't care that the schools suck. There is supposedly lots of crime, but I don't live in or visit the barrio so it isn't a problem. I can get to the airport in 30 mins and can park right across from the terminal. I paid a fair price for my rural spread and the value hasn't declined with this latest RE crash. The urban amenities in Abq are mostly the same as any other US city and when I want to go upscale, Santa Fe is a 1hr drive.
- terrya64, on 07/13/2008, -0/+3These list are crap. My town, Eden Prairie, Mn was #10 in 2006. This 2007 list it's not even in top 100, but Chaska about 8 miles south is now # 8. So according to Money magazine these are the towns to live in for the next 12 months, till our new list, when you may need to move :)
- inactive, on 07/11/2008, -2/+5I've been to Louisville, CO. I live in Highlands Ranch, CO. Louisville isn't that amazing.
- mattearle, on 07/13/2008, -0/+3"The article is about the 100 best places o live in the United States"
Right, so you agree that the title is not specific enough. To anyone from outside of the United States reading this article, CNN Money gives the impression that their world is limited to America. - rothgar, on 07/13/2008, -0/+2Effing Claremont?!
Buried as inaccurate. - inactive, on 07/13/2008, -0/+2it's an american publication. unless stated otherwise, the things in it will probably pertain to america.
wow. - filmbandit, on 07/13/2008, -0/+2thnx
- deadhead05, on 07/13/2008, -0/+2Well that's what they are saying though, all the benefits of Madison without all the *****. Cheaper, no drunken frat boys, good schools, and you can always get great food and entertainment in Madison.
- Devaney, on 07/13/2008, -0/+2Madison should just annex Fitchburg, Verona, Middleton, etc...I mean come on, they're just suburbs.
- krazytom, on 07/13/2008, -0/+2We meet again zaibatsu
http://digg.com/business_finance/Denver_Foreclosur ...
(look at the first post)
Maybe you'll start to learn why people in Colorado have a negative view of people who live in Highlands Ranch. - kidathinnes, on 07/13/2008, -0/+2If you read the description on the article itself you will see it says "American towns". It is pretty much a given this is only American towns anyway. Of course there is a better place outside of the US to live than most of these places.
- *jooloop*, on 07/13/2008, -0/+262) Moorpark? What the hell? Moorpark's all residential, with almost no shopping, there's nothing there to do, and their high school sucks. Simi Valley's way better than dumpy Moorpark. And for those that say "Moorpark has a Community College": It's on the border, half in Moorpark, half in Simi. Simi also has lower crime, we fight with TO for being the lowest, but Moorpark isn't in the running. All those stats are equal or better for Simi- I object to this list.
/rant - lestyoubejudged, on 07/13/2008, -0/+2I am sorry but when you take weather and surrounding environrments out of the equation you really don't have accurate comparisons. Claremont, California? You have got to be kidding me? Maybe if you own a gas mask and don't mind your brain rotting away from lack of things to do near by. You also need to compare housing costs with earning potential. I live in a pricing area but I have access to very high paying jobs.
- havefuntimes, on 07/13/2008, -0/+2SAN DIEGO should be in there... though it's not a town ;)
- brainnovate, on 07/25/2008, -0/+2WTF- this is from 2007. I cannot believe this on the front page of Digg... I guess the 2008 is not out yet, but this is hardly news.
- MortalynFlux, on 07/13/2008, -0/+2"Every place eventually becomes a place once the "just arrived" shine wears off."
How very true. And in all the places I've lived, the pictures shown to represent the place are usually locations only visited by tourists. For example, when I lived in San Antonio, trying to get a friend to go downtown with me was like pulling teeth, with the first excuse being, "the parking sucks."
I've been to the Highland Park shopping center quite a few times, for example, and it's nothing to write home about. The Italian restaurant there is nice, but there are plenty like it or better. The movie theatre is very small, and could use a repainting on the inside, not to mention newer, more comfortable seats. There's a Starbucks there, and the only thing I can say about it is that the people there are friendlier and more conversational than at other starbucks. But the coffee is just as bitter.
Really it's what you make of it. We spend most of our lives at work and at home. So what you make of those situations is up to you. As the saying goes, "wherever you go, there you are." - XxModestMousexX, on 07/13/2008, -0/+2My town is number 92?
This town isnt that great. - secrity, on 07/13/2008, -0/+2I have been in a number of the towns on that list, and except for one or two, I hope that I never have to go back to those towns. Even of the ones I wouldn't mind going back to, I doubt that I would want to live there.
- xxxFRIARxxx, on 07/16/2008, -0/+1PROTIP:
Move the adjustable box from "2007" to "2008".
I'm from Plymouth, MN. 15 YEARS in that clique-riddled area. The town seems very fake. Plastic.
...and the rest of digg can't figure out to move the year? Surely a bad link from subby. Still...
/the grass is greener.
//don't call me Shirley. - terrya64, on 07/13/2008, -0/+1yes, it was. and bainbridge was once in the top 5, now nowhere to be seen.
- fatTJ, on 07/13/2008, -0/+1I live close to Baldwin, NY. There is no way that should be on the top 100, let alone the top 25. What they failed to mention is it's crime rate, and the parts of town that would make you think you were in the lower east side. there are so many other great places to live on Long Island. They should have looked at towns more towards the north shore, like Muttontown and Plainview. This was seriously flawed.
- enzomedici, on 07/14/2008, -0/+1
Any place without palm trees and sunshine is a ***** place in my opinion. - kinerry, on 07/13/2008, -0/+1Papillion is a suburb of Omaha, and not annexed yet, INNACURATE AND THEREFORE BURRIED!!!!
- saitama, on 07/13/2008, -0/+1This may be the 100 best places to live in the US, but I can think of a million places I'd rather live than the USA.
- travis1982, on 07/13/2008, -0/+1God no, I wouldn't say that. But don't compare them to..Vancouver and Brisbane...been to both. Vancouver is Canada's forgotten city, plagued by junkies, prostitutes and crazy natives...not a nice place to live AT ALL. Brisbane is populated by retards who don't give a ***** about anything...esp the environment..Australia has poor..poor quality of living. Do you mean Hong Kong? cause if you so I shouldn't even have bothered with the other ones if you really believe the quality of life in China is first class.
- Farmer77, on 07/13/2008, -0/+1Do you even have a passport let alone visited those places? And those were just a few examples off the top of my head. America as a whole is a great place to live, but you can't say the worst place in America is better than anywhere else in the world.
- skribble, on 07/13/2008, -0/+1Similar things could be said about many of these places. Note the Home prices here. Not too many of these places are affordable for people working in the service industry (Restaurants, Shops, etc...) so for the vast majority of these places there is a place close by that's not so nice to supply the day to day services of those luxuriating in these fine towns.
- edelay, on 07/14/2008, -0/+1Given that this Money Magazine, I would imagine that the 1 through 99 are the office, then #100 is the home office.
