Never imagined Huntsville in the podium. It gets even more interesting when you choose "Safest Places to Live"

Would that be Santa Fe? Or nowhere in Montana? Or Asheville?

Again another meaningless poll!

I didn't notice NYC included. Asheville's rank didn't surprise me. Santa Fe is pretty damn expensive.

Thanks I couldn't believe it was not amongst the top 150 but that ranking still has to be disappointing when so many other big cities are in the top 50.

Flint, Michigan made the list. Burlington VT did not.
