What are the TOP 50 Cities to Live in?

August 6, 2007 by Chris Bohn

What are the TOP 50 Cities to Live in the USA & Canada?

Well, that depends on who you ask, but there is a new book out this year called CITIES RANKED & RATED, Second Edition, by Bert Sperling and Peter Sander.

Of course this publication came to my attention, as my city is #1, and in the first edition we were listed as #56.  Being fairly new to AR, I shared that on Localism(Public) site today.  But, I wanted to post something here on members only – just for info to the AR Members about the TOP 50 Cities List.  I keep learning here on AR, and have never had much luck in finding topics that get alot of comments or ratings.  So here is a new subject that can get reviews, comments, and ratings by the AR Network.

The rankings are based on 10 categories ranging from economy to the arts!  The book is a comprehensive analysis of more than 400 Metropolitan Areas in USA and Canada.  The results are based upon public statistics on the municipalities and of judgements of the authors about physical attractiveness and the ease of living.

So Here is the TOP 50!
