Money Magazine's "Best 100 Places to Live 2007"

I just came across this article today and apparently my town (Milton, MA) is the 7th best town to live in in America. Not trying to brag at all because I have no idea how the fuck that happened, but I'm just curious to see if any other NS'er's towns made the list.

westwood, ma was in the top 10 a year or so back, and somehow we don't even make top 100?  that was before the new high school too i think, which should easily boost it up.

i live inbetween madison, wi, and Middleton, Wi, which is #1 on the list. and it isnt really all that "best". we were at a bar last week and counted 9 mullets in there at once. i think that should be a criteria next year.

that list is terrible. it's not best places to live, it should be called "best place to work a 9-5 job and raise a 2.5 kid family".

well look at the source - money magazine. Why would they focus on anything but that? Outdoor magazine had a list last month as well and included was Burlington VT, Portland Oregon, Portland Maine, etc etc etc.

yup - I'm looking at money magazine right now and the main article is about people who retired rich and young - definitely a good list for them.

My dad gets them for/at work so he brings them home, I don't subscribe, by the way.

sounds like top 100 suburban pitholes. honestly, if most of these cities are the best places to live, well, im not going to even rant.

although mukilteo at #69 seems well deserved. good town. but most of those places are like mini hells on earth.

no because Breck is super expensive.

This is not the best places to live.

It is the best towns that offer the best economic opportunities and under priced housing.

yah...im sure. Why would you say that? Are you that desperate to prove that Canda is a great place to live? The poll is done by CNN, who based in Atlanta, and intentionally narrowed its focus to just include American properties. If they were doing an international rating system they would have included Canada and I'm sure Vancover would have done great.

I thought the wealthiest towns list was more interesting.
