50 Best Yuppish Hubs would have been a more precise heading.
When Scottsdale,Charlotte,Austin +Raleigh popup my faux city meter goes absolutely bonkers
In a shocking development. A thread in which Montclair starts, has SF high on the list.
While I essentially agree, it's worth remembering that some people like places like Scottsdale and Charlotte. To me this list seems fine and fairly accurate, so long as I weed out the places I find aesthetically distasteful. If I were a Raleigh kind of guy, I'd find it worthwhile to know where it ranked. As a Boston/NY/L.A. kind of guy, I just don't have to pay attention to some of the list.

First of all, you are comparing a central city to a suburb of Phoenix. Secondly, why is Charlotte (rated way down at #20) even being brought up? Lastly, have you any clue that next year's Democratic National Convention (the same National Convention Boston hosted in 2004) will be held in downtown Charlotte?
No, Charlotte is NOT Boston, but it is by NO MEANS a Scottsdale or a Raleigh either!!! Please, stop painting all Sunbelt cities with the same brush, because it doesn't work that way at all any more.

I bet it wish it had some things that Scottsdale has.

Kettle meet pot. You essentially just compared Raleigh (a central city) to Scottsdale.

Scottsdale has it's retail because it is located in Metro Phoenix (a metro that is more than twice metro Charlotte's size). So let's not split hairs here. Charlotte is a city, Scottsdale is a suburb of a large city. There is a difference and you know it.
Seems strange that they would list DC and Arlington separately. Of course they are different jurisdictions, but the quality of life from one frequently bleeds into the other, and vice versa.
Kind of a strange list all around.
