I'm not sure that I agree with the entire methodology. Way too much emphasis is placed on "tech" and "population growth." How does the presence of tech startups in a particular city improve your "quality of life?" Is rapid population growth always a good thing?

The best cities are usually the one with plentiful jobs, and both population growth and technology are shorthand ways to measure health of a city’s future.

Yeah, these lists are dumb. Besides the strain rapid population growth can have on resources and infrastructure and the crowdedness it can cause (which many people vocally dislike), lots of transplants water down an area's local culture. They're mainly written for white libertarian Millennials AFAICT.
Nope, no way. I like Austin, but it's too crowded and getting crazy with cost of living. I can't stand Colorado. Though I still live in the state, I'm counting down my time here. Colorado Springs and especially Denver are way overrated. It's too dry and too expensive. Denver has horrible traffic. Too many people are moving here - thinking it's utopia - and housing and COL are ever-increasing.
Unless you are absolutely rolling in money, I'd strongly advise against all three of those.
These "top city" lists are dumb. Anyone can put them together, with any criteria. They're just advertising and guaranteed eye-catchers, nothing more.

I've stated the reasons many many times on this forum, and just don't have the time and energy now to repeat them. Sorry. Maybe I should do a blog, which would be easy to link to, and just reference that.

I haven't created the blog yet. That's an idea I just came up with.
