I’m back with another “Top something something” list. What, you’d rather I write about me?
Nationwide Homes Network just released their Top 100 Places to Live for 2005 list:
Residents, past or former, nominate their cities for possessing such qualities as a place’s serenity, beauty, low crime rates, safety for children, employment opportunties and cultural activities.
Inclusion in the top 100 gives “communities a sense of pride and accomplishment,” says Steve Nickerson, CEO and President of HomeRoute.
Sorry, Sacramento didn’t make the cut. We are obviously not a community with a sense of pride and accomplishment. But hey, Roseville made it, so we kinda got that going for us.
But then again, given the qualities that this list supposedly uses as criteria, how did Vacaville make this list?

Obviously, those people don’t believe in urban living. Look at that list; it’s all ‘burbs. I suppose you could say Vegas is “urban,” but I think it’s just one big sprawling burb. Can’t figure out why Montogomery AL is on the list though.
Residents, past or former, nominate their cities for possessing such qualities as a place’s serenity, beauty, low crime rates, safety for children, employment opportunties and cultural activities.
I’d love to know what the nominators considered “cultural activities.”
