Most Livable US Cities in Financially Troubling Times

Forbes Magazine released its annual list of America’s most livable cities. The list is created based on quality of life measures in cities with populations of 500,000 or greater. The cities on the list indicate where unemployment is low, income growth is high and living the good life is affordable. 

Number one on the list was Portland, ME because it is safe and apparently has several outstanding microbreweries. Bethesda, MD (what about traffic), and Des Moines IA (what?) round out the top three, followed by Bridgeport/Stamford, CT ($$$) and Tulsa, OK (no way)! The remaining five on the top list included Oklahoma City OK (where the waving wheat....), Cambridge, MA (Harvard and MIT, what’s not to like), Baltimore, MD (Camden Yards rocks), Worchester, MA (why?) and Pittsburgh, PA (nice family town). My favorite place to live, Madison, Wisconsin was relegated to 13th place on this year’s list (sigh).

Until next time...

Good Job Hunting and Good Living!!!!!!!!!!

Yes. Tulsa, OK. We have grown and are continuing to grow. Tulsa is a great city to live in.
