I realize this may be moved because it has nothing to do with Knoxville, but many people who want to move to this area want to find the "best place to live" and this article may be an eye-opener. No TN counties made the list. I am surprised at some of the areas that did, including the county I grew up in.

As I've said on similar threads, best places lists are sort of a cop out.

This ranking especially uses ridiculous standards that don't even make sense.
