@mmiasma@mastodon.sdf.org @EthicalProfessor@mstdn.social@newsie.social I've seen several studies like this, to include the best cities to live in, and when you consider most of the factors that are looked at, many boil down to the viability of the economy. It's really more common sense like having the funds to improve and maintain roads and parks and bicycle paths and golf courses and keep their politicians pockets lined. For the record, doesn't everyone have a yardarm? Where else could one fly his personal skull and crossbones?
