These are the best places to live in America

[Independent voter]

U.S. News & World Report just released this year's list of the best places to live in America after evaluating the country’s 125 most populous metropolitan areas. Several factors were considered, including affordability, job prospects and quality of life. Data such as crime rates, availability of health care and median household income was used in conjunction with results from polls. For example, they asked 2,500 people from all over the country where they'd prefer to live to create a desirability index. Net migration — how many people are moving to or away from each metro area — was also a significant factor when coming up with the final ranking.

Most of these cities have a rep for being left wing. A lot of them are in states that have legalized weed.

Austin is a nice place. It has University of Texas, a lot of tech companies and a lot of cultural stuff like music venues.

What do you think about this the cities on this list?
