[Webster Green]

1. Sugar Land, TX is number three

Not on my list at all

[Ilsa]

4. I live about 100 miles from SugarLand and go there

fairly regularly. I fail to understand why anyone would rate it that highly, except maybe cost of living.

Almost everything there is new. Which is nice, except I get no sense of history when I'm there. It feels like a live-for-the-moment kind of place or a Keeping-up-with-the-Jones atmosphere.

20. Wow, they need a serious spellcheck...

The third best city in the US should be spelled A-U-S-T-I-N. (at least in the winter months...it's freakin' hot here!)

[Viva_La_Revolution]

2. yes, it WAS

20 years ago before all them cali-for-ni-a people moved there!

Damn near ruined the place. :(

[wakeme2008]

3. Any list that has as number #3 Sugar Land, TX

I can not take serious. :rofl:

[panader0]

5. I've been to Ft Collins WTF?

[Catch22Dem]

6. For me, anything from Ft. Collins to Co. Springs is wonderful

I love it there.

Are you kidding me??! Portland doesn't make the list but Mesa does??!

Did Diabold count the votes for this too?

[eleny]

9. The Springs is #1

Wingnut central.

[RagingInMiami]

14. Mesa, Arizona #3

This is comedy, right? Mesa is the armpit of the Valley of the Sun, which includes Phoenix, Tempe and Scottsdale.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

16. don't forget AJ!

(Apache Junction) the smelliest part of the pit.

[City Lights]

18. Mesa?

:puke:

What a frickin' joke.

[mnhtnbb]

21. Omaha, NE!!! What a joke! State motto is "ignorant and proud of it"

[rurallib]

8. I was betting on someplace in Canada

Like Vancouver or Toronto.

[checkmate1947]

10. Break my Heart

I cannot believe that NOGO Ar. is not on that list

[adwon]

11. Cary?

If Cary makes the topten, then the list is worthless. I just can't stomach a town that is all one color (the buildings I mean, everything is beige). That town is nothing more than a snooty strip mall.

[lectrobyte]

19. See post number 7, Raleigh is in the top 10 best big cities. Hard

for me to believe, too.

[mnhtnbb]

22. Containment Area for Relocated Yankees (CARY)

Republican Yankees, too.

[undergroundpanther]

12. Elicott city#4

scenic and all,but if you are a punk,freak or homeless they'll treat you like shit.And they are a bit reactionary,,read about how stupid this..town can get.

13. Eeeewww...Yuckies!!!

I've only lived in New York City and San Francisco and I would never live anywhere else, in this country anyway. Everywhere else, in this country anyway, is yuckkky, in my quite twisted opinion. Sorry! I've been to Fort Collins and through Sugarland, and they suck, let me tell ya! Sorry. Austin's a fun place to visit, Virginia Beach is a nice place to visit, but Omaha, Columbus and Wichita? Sorry. Visited them all and they suck! Sorry!! New York or San Francisco...

[MountainLaurel]

15. This came up on another list I'm on

And someone pointed out that almost all of the top ones are white-bread, overpriced suburbs.

Coincidence?

[proud patriot]

17. Livermore Ca?

:rofl: Hahahahahahahahahaha

Okay :shrug: I live near Livermore
I like my city better . I used to work in
Livermore , nice town , but the lawrence
livermore lab is there .
