Orange Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Fargo and Sioux Falls in the top 10? Bend, OR is somehow behind a place called McKinney, TX? I think they just put a bunch of numbers in a hopper and assigned them to cities that never made the list before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAC MAN Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I have to seriously question that list: 12. Lincoln, NE...are you kidding me? 15, Ames, IA 17. Lawrence, KS. 25. Longmont, CO and 39. Loveland, CO...first one is slow life and second one has traffic problems on their main east to west road. I'd put Boulder ahead of those two. 58. College Station, TX...you got to be kidding me! 69. Manhattan, KS...this is absurd. For other towns I have been to: 1. Ft. Collins, CO Ever since they stopped restricting businesses to just US 287 College Road, that has helped the traffic issues that used to plague that city. Now Loveland knows what it needs to do. Putting the CSU football stadium back on campus & building that BRT line that has its own lane will pay dividends for awhile. 2. Ann Arbor, MI Not sure I'd rank that town up the list. 34. Castle Rock,CO I'll let @CRBuff answer that question. 35. Boise, ID They did a nice job with I-84's widening west of Boise..wonder what the traffic levels are like these days. 38. Appleton, WI Just 30 minutes away from Lambeau Field. 47. Fredrick, MD Near the mountains and you have commuter rail service to DC and Baltimore. I might have lived in that town if I worked in DC. 73. Meridian, ID My parents live there. Haven't gone around town enough to render a proper verdict. 94. Cedar Rapids, IA I know I ripped on Ames but driving through Iowa isn't so bad...if you can handle the country roads driving past those cornfields...very relaxing. 96. Knoxville, TN Driving through the Smoky Mountains and then I-81 from Bristol through Virginia is nice. I think cost of living is a significant factor in that ranking.
