Irvine #4 wow. It is a very clean city though but it's dead at like 9pm.

Great place to raise a family.

BillLee · 02-17-2009, 09:03 PM

#56 missouri city, tx. there are a few good areas to live around here, but there are quite a few of suburban wanna be gangsters. not a good place to go to school either.
well, it depends on which side you live on. oh and its about 20-30 minutes away from downtown houston

I've lived in Ft Collins and now in Irvine and I must say they are similar.

I think it's the "small town" list...

No offense but Irvine is one of the most boring and generic places I've ever seen, it's like living in a community designed by Best Buy.

Maybe, but how is that different from the rest of Orange County?

krote345 · 02-18-2009, 08:15 AM

Wohoo! I live in #76!...but I'm probably moving in a few months.

TiAg335i · 02-18-2009, 08:26 AM

That list lost all its credibility when it listed a town in MINNESOTA as #1.

Minnesota towns always do well. I lived in Rochester for 5 years during training and we placed first while I was there. Everyone laughed. We scored high for public transportation, but there's nowhere to go. We also scored high for medical care. They did a ratio of doctors to population which bumped us pretty high because the town had 70,000 people and is home to the Mayo Clinic. Of course good luck getting an appointment.

I can't STAND desolate, close-minded, hick towns.

You obviously know nothing about Irvine or Orange County...you know the county that gave us Nixon, and has an airport named after John Wayne?

Sara · 02-18-2009, 12:53 PM

Orem, Utah made the list... That list is shit then.

I don't get his or your posts. Round Rock is basically a piece of Austin. The population and businesses don't stop between the two just like here in D/FW. It's just one city with different names. Just something to bitch about I guess.

Isn't where you feel good the best place to live? I have been around and I prefer Dallas. If I was loaded out the gills I would love a place in San Diego/La Jolla and/or off the coast of Spain. I would still call Dallas home. The BBQ is crap everywhere else outside of Texas and the women...

9 D/FW area locations made the list. 9% says something if you believe in polls.
