Fact is it's one of the best places to live in the entire US. Does that mean they get everything right? No, but they sure get a lot more right than they get wrong.

Under what metric is this a "fact?" I mean, I don't hate VB or anything, but this is a ridiculous statement.

It's not a ridiculous statement;

And those are just a few of the awards. There have been several others over the past few years as well, but I am lazier than you, and won't go find them.

Kudos. But it is sort of silly to compare what is basically a gigantic suburb with a tourist beach to actual honest to goodness urban cities. Of course its going to rate higher than Cleveland or Detroit. Im sure Suffolk would too. Its like comparing Reston to Washington, DC. It doesn't make Reston bad, but it would be interesting to see it compared to comparable places, like VB.

This is a very personal take on what makes a great city. Many people would prefer not to live in an urban city.
