I've learned to ignore business week's crazy lists. they're always stating how certain areas are "up and coming" or "best place to raise a family" when in reality, those places on these lists are urban hells no one from business week has ever step foot in. these lists are all generated by computers using random statistics that have little to do w/ actual reality

I ignore lists like this from many publications and websites. There are like 1000 different sources that make these lists every single year and there are different outcomes almost every time.

What I think is unfortunate is that some people actually make their moving decisions on the basis of these ridiculous lists (and get burned as a result)
