Yeah it’s easy to be a “best” city when all they’re doing is finding the right side of the tracks.

I wonder what real metro areas would qualify as best cities. I live in the Pittsburgh metro area and it is often included in lists of this type.

Well, this survey (as flawed as the scoring system is) is only looking at cities from 25-100k people. And ONLY includes city proper, and not any surrounding areas. Which, is part of a city's lure/attractiveness. Many people only live in Southlake because of proximity to the DFW metroplex. If Southlake was there by itself, it wouldn't be nearly as wealthy or populous.
