Nampa, Idaho and Oklahoma City in the top 10. Amazing cities indeed.

Wastelands such as Nashville, Denver, Seattle all below 100. Pretty accurate list.

High-Speed Rail Inches Forward

“I-26 is the economic spine of South Carolina, and we could connect the three main cities [Greenville, Columbia, and Charleston] easily,” he says. “Rock Hill is a fast-growing area, which could be connected, too, with a line from Charlotte to Columbia. We can do it for a cost most states would only be able to dream of doing because of the geography of the state and the proximity of our main cities.

Its not a measure of "amazingness" but more so how cities management of public funds equates to quality of services for residents. Easy to dispute ranking, harder to dispute data. Nashville may be "cool" and "hip" but it's public schools ranked 91st and safety was 100th thanks to its nearly record setting homicide rate last year (not picking on Nashville).

A lot of the typical hotspots didn't get their regular pat on the back this time, doesn't mean there's no validity in the findings.

If its a Wallethub ranking list, its click bait trash with no validity.
