Need to work in the software biz or better to afford to live there.

Nothing in NM...my wife's been thinking that maybe we need to relocate somewhere in the southwest. I have no problems with that at all. Just need jobs!!

I think those lists are kind of like reading Consumer Reports. Sounds good, but the reality might well be something else :wink:

Well Fort Collins is a great place to live, but the more it makes those lists, the less it stays a great place to live...

Shame on you boss. I always new our area was a well kept secret but now you've gone and given permission to anyone to settle here. Actually our weather stinks, our taxes are high, our restaurants serve lousy food, our landscape is not pleasant to look out, etc. etc. etc.

Now why did I live here? I'm not telling.

:angel:

our restaurants serve lousy food,

Restaurants serve great food..... you just have to stop going to the cracker Barrel.
Oh... and our crime rate is in the top ten.... not a good thing...... just stay in those good restaurants...LOL

For once, Charlottesville wasn't on one of the "top ten" lists, which ultimately lure more congestion and mayhem to these areas.

So, everyone just move along, no need to come here. We have no reasons whatsoever to be on such "top ten" lists, because Charlottesville has:

> no beautiful scenery because it's surrounded by the gloomy, rolling VA foothills and horse country (horses are very smelly);
> no decent healthcare facilities or doctors;
> no top-rated law school or medical school;
> no colonial, Revolutionary War or Civil War history, at all, period;
> no homes of founding fathers or historic structures;
> no Blue Ridge Parkway or stunningly beautiful, twisty scenic county roads;
> no great universities that were founded by Thomas Jefferson;
> no good food, zero good restaurants;
> no award-winning wineries nearby.

Absolutely <span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-weight: bold">horrid</span></span> place to live, visit or retire to. And, there's absolutely <span style="font-weight: bold">NO</span> logical or valid reason for more Yankee retirees to come here to live or retire, at all.

Terrible place. :lol:

Gosh can I plagerize you and simply change that to ?????, New Mexico? Huh, please? Can I?

 

[Moseso]

Eden Prairie, MN is number <span style="font-style: italic">ONE ???????</span>
I want what they're smokin'! That's some powerfully delusional stuff...

OTH, the Twin Cities Metro, regularly scores high in the livability ratings -- after you discount the weather -- and, for reasons I largely understand. A very interesting stat was published some years back. The Twin Cities ranks #1 in native population. About 30% of the residents are born here. #2 on the list (I don't remember where) was at about 12% and it went down rapidly from there. People don't leave here, they live here.

...About 30% of the residents are born here. #2 on the list ...
