Where is the best place in the world to live? The Economist purports to have the answer (Ireland). My co-blogger Frank McIntyre explains some of the problems with the methodology, but I am undaunted. Below is a list of the best places in the United States where I have lived (with "lived" being anyplace where I have resided long enough to receive snail mail), ranked according to my own very subjective standards of livability and attempting to control for my job/school satisfaction in the particular locale (e.g., I had great job/school satisfaction in the three lowest-ranked locations):
- Madison, Wisconsin
- Lake Oswego, Oregon
- Provo, Utah
- Wilmington, Delaware
- Salt Lake City, Utah
- Newport Beach, California
- Tempe, Arizona
- University City, Missouri
- Burk, Virginia
- Osseo, Wisconsin
- Nashville, Tennessee
- Cleveland, Ohio
- Chicago, Illinois
- Houston, Texas
- Lafayette, Louisiana
