We are a nation of lists.
CNN Money just released their annual listing. Everyone wants to see their town listed, of course, but Tennessee did not fare well - only Franklin made the list, and they were well into the bottom 50.
Shockingly, Mount Pleasant, SC made the list at 100, which makes me seriously question the the list in its entirety, but then I love the SC coastal area near Charleston in general.
I've never lived in Minnesota or Iowa or Oklahoma, but they seemed to me to be disproportionately represented. Minnesota had 6 of the top 20 I believe. I don't like cold weather or mosquitos, so naturally I am biased against Minnesota and Iowa. But I suppose they are very nice places to live if you like the pasty white skin look. Oklahoma, like Minnesota and Iowa, is very flat. Which is nice for cycling. Also for tornadoes.
Connecticut had several towns make the list. I grew up there; there is much to like. Also much to hate. As one of the commenters observed about Hamden: "Grew up ther. It's a dump." That is a bit harsh, but overall not completely irrational.
