I never believe those BS lists! They base them on what criteria? There own. I remember not to long ago they stated one of the best cities in the country to live was Niles, IL. I grew up in a burb right next to Niles. Niles had it's nice points, but it doesn't compare to other IL burbs like Naperville, Northbrook, Highland Park, Oak Brook, etc.!
Then move. Plain and simple.
I love where I live. My wife and I have good jobs, nice place in the country and low property taxes. From my experience that list is right on.
