Money's "best-places" survey 

By TigerHawk at 7/11/2005 02:26:00 PM
Money magazine has released its annual "best-places" survey, in which it seeks to discover the 100 "best" towns in the country and then within that pool identify the best. Implausibly, Money claims "the list will likely have more of an effect on bragging rights than on anything like real estate prices."

I doubt it. Our town of Princeton is ranked 15th. Suffice it to say that Princeton's national ranking according to Money magazine does not and will not figure prominently among the long list of reasons to live here.

Maybe I'm just too much into wine--having lived in Portland OR for too long before moving to Philly recently--but how can a dry town be the best place to live??? I mean Pennsylvania feels like hell, but at least I can buy it if I must when I've not had a chance to drive down to Delaware recently!

If anything...those "best places" surveys take the small towns and ruin them with a huge influx of people. One of the Outside Magazines runs one of these annually as well, citing places in the West, that once discovered, lose much of what made them so great in the first place.
