so i googled the news for some of these places and here are the highlights of their daysOriginally Posted by IncredibleEv
sorry if i offend someone, but why would you want to live in ANY of these cities?Originally Posted by northparkblind
HERE ARE THE BEST 10 PLACES TO LIVE.
1. Plymouth, MN
2. Fort Collins, CO
3. Naperville, IL
4. Irvine, CA
5. Franklin Township, NJ
6. Norman, OK
7. Round Rock, TX
8. Columbia/Ellicott City, MD
9. Overland Park, KS
10. Fishers, IN
As you can see, NY is not on the top ten places to live.
Topnotch schools, good jobs, affordable housing, low crime, an active outdoor culture - yep, they're pretty much all here. Plymouth could have become just another Twin Cities suburb, but more than 50,000 jobs keep residents working there.
Home prices are within reason: The typical three-bedroom, two-bath house goes for $350,000. The city's main school district is ranked among the top three in the state, and for culture, Plymouth's open-air amphitheater, the Hilde Performance Center, hosts numerous summer concerts. Residents are a quick drive from the Mall of America, the nation's biggest mall.
And did we mention the outdoors? Plymouth boasts more than half a dozen sizable bodies of water. Of course, this being Minnesota, winter can be brutal: January's average low temperature is about 13°F. But when the mercury plummets, the locals get busy. In February the city hosts a Fire & Ice Festival that includes mini-golf, bowling and basketball - all right on the ice.
Fort Collins, CO #2
One of the first things you notice about this Rocky Mountain city is that practically every new road has a bike lane. Even the wheelless can get in on the action now that Fort Collins has a bike library: Residents and visitors can check out a bicycle for up to seven days, free.
The city's Old Town historic district contains four microbreweries and more than two dozen restaurants. Bioscience and tech companies, including Agilent Technologies, Hewlett-Packard and Kodak, keep employment opportunities high. Colorado State University occupies a scenic spot in the middle of town. And the city just received a grant from the Department of Energy to start a solar-energy project downtown.
As for health care, the award-winning Poudre Valley Health System will soon be home to a brand-new cancer center. While the excellent schools have been overcrowded in recent years, officials have taken steps by moving some grades to different buildings.
Naperville, IL #3
It's no wonder Naperville has made Money's Best Places list three times now. The walkable downtown area is packed with restaurants and shops. The popular Riverwalk is a nearly two-mile brick path that follows the DuPage River's course through town.
Naperville's proximity to Chicago is a plus, but there are plenty of jobs to be had right here. Edward Hospital and Nicor Gas employ more than 8,000 people between them, and companies such as BP America, Lucent and Tellabs have offices in town.
Graduates of the city's schools handily outscore state and national averages on college entrance exams. And Naperville's public library is ranked the best in the nation among small cities by Hennen's American Public Library Ratings. On the downside, housing is pricier here than in some nearby suburbs; the typical three-bedroom, two-bath house runs $380,000. And congestion on the city's major roads can slow traffic to a crawl.
ect....
It's not about the entertainment that makes a state/city great.
Unless thats all you care about.
If so, NY is your state.

accessibility to almost everything you'd need right outside your door.
I get that yall have the Statue of Liberty, cool. How often do you really go there? What can you walk outside your door and get that I cant get?
I can also drive my own car there and not have to wait around for a train.

at "great state all around", as if you live inall those cities. You're clearly a "quantity over quality" type person. A large percentage of Cali is covered in farmland, just like NY is.California has an obvious size advantage and has more coastal area, giving it better opportunities to have flourishing cities. There are plenty of largercities in NY...Albany, Syracuse, Buffalo, Ithaca, etc. that have large populations and urban settings.
The thing with New York City is that it offers EVERYTHING that your entire state can offer...except for the women. If I wanted overweight or plastic surgerygalore, i'd hit up Texas or California.
