Some of the rationale for ranking Honolulu #1 was:
-Schools spend almost $9,000 per pupil -Unemployment ranks less than half the national average -The island has 125 beaches And this one's for SU: In #54 Seattle, the residents spend $266 per person annually to maintain the city's parks. |

Honolulu #1? Great place to vacation, but Hawaii is a pretty racist state to try to live in. Besides expensive. And cut off from the rest of the world. Obviously cost of living, crime, pollution, and gang violence weren't included as a part of this list... Now Flint, Michigan at the bottom of the worst I can understand. I dare you to raise kids there without them joining a gang or at least seeing a shooting take place. I also get Utah missing from that list. Sure, Provo's Museum of Natural History displays Shasta the famous Liger, but what after that? Hogle Zoo is a sad joke. The aquarium in SLC is even worse. There's no professional football, baseball, or hockey team. Perhaps the biggest tourist attraction is the Tulips at Thanksgiving Point, which are dead under snow 8 months of the year. The Dinosaur Museum there (with IMAX screen) ain't too bad though. Utahns actually think of Lagoon as a theme park!!

Anderson did a lot of good things for the city, but the biggest things of all he totally dropped the ball on (including RSL's stadium, which should also be downtown and not in Sandy). |
