Any list with "to live and thrive" that includes any CA city is a garbage list. The Bay Area is the one of two areas of CA with low unemployment (the other is Orange County) but if you have sky high costs of living, what good is that? San Diego is losing more of their middle class than any other major metro in CA. Contracting firms are leaving for DC just like they left Jacksonville.
Its a list of big "cool" cities, nothing more.

Seattle's not top 10? Oh, how the mighty have fallen.
I'm actually really surprised about Seattle. I cannot for the life of me figure out why Fort Worth would be a better city for millennials than Seattle. Even the Bay Area (and especially San Francisco) is so prohibitively expensive for young people who aren't the beneficiaries of a trust fund or a lucrative job in the tech industry. At least Seattle is [still] somewhat in reach from a financial standpoint. And Seattle's economy is doing quite well last time I checked. So it can't really be a COL or economic issue. Certainly not an urban amenity issue if Fort Worth is more highly ranked. Maybe the author doesn't like Seattle weather?
Yeah, if Seattle isn't tops then the list is useless, right? Seattle gets plenty of love, I wouldn't worry about it: you still live in the trendiest city in the country.

I'm confused, what are you saying in that last sentence?
