I have seen and ready Money Magazine's Top 100 this week. The state of highest taxes (NJ) had a very strong showing (to my surprise). The towns selected/ranked were also surprising. It seems Money Magazine went the PC route with the 'diversity' factor (and perhaps less wt. w/taxes). What happend to Chatham (top 10 from prior years)? How did Parsippanny, Edison, Piscataway, and Union become magically inflated overnight? What's up at Money Magazine? Any thoughts? Let's be polite, professional, and considerate. No mud slinging. Thanks.

Diversity is not a "PC" consideration. It is a real consideration for professionals who need to know the demographics of a place they might want to live.

But it can be (and has been) in some cases (e.g. concept of "leveraging diversity").

True this is valid with respect to presenting data and stats relative to a locality. But I question the spin of words sometimes used by the writers of the magazine. Again your point here is valid.

Oh, I thought you meant some NJ towns ranked in the top 100 for diversity.
