Moderator should delete this thread which has no stats to prove based of. I mean my 100 top towns are different from yours and that will be different from someone else, i agree that Milford should have been ranked higher then Hamden...not just because i live in Milford, but i have also lived in Hamden...and i can tell you Milford is far much better,safe and friendly then Hamden..!

Thank you for saying this. One person's basis for "Top 100" can be as random as someone else's basis being to list them alphabetically.

90. Coventry
89. Milford
88. East Hampton
87. Haddam
86. Woodbury
85. Stonington
84. Lebanon
83. Naugatuck
82. Danbury
81. Branford

As a state CT is just too expensive tax wise - splitting hairs with this list - would be easier to list where NOT to live - seems like you could throw a dart at the map of CT fwiw...good luck...I moved due to the winters...lovely state otherwise - helps if yer veddy rich...12b

I second that - it is vague, questionable and does nothing to encourage constructive debate, IMHO.

That would be just as useless as ones basis for where not to live is as subjective as a thread on where to live. This thread as a whole is useless.

The list is generated based on a formula. The discussion thread would not be useless if it told us what, exactly, the formula is. It would actually be a basis for discussing and refining criteria. You could then see why certain towns are ranked lower/higher than you'd place them, and perhaps argue for changes in the ranking formula.

The output should be more than a list, though. If the ranking quantity is the result of , hypothetically, A*B*C*D, the output should be a ranked table that shows A, B, C, D, and the product for each town.
