The 10 Greatest Cities? Time For New Standards of Sustainability
The third highest ranking website on the internet today is a blog post called 10 Great Cities for Raising Families. The cities were ranked on job growth, local culture, healthy economies, schools, crime rates and open park spaces. The results of these “GREAT CITIES” ranged from Texas, to Alabama, to Washington, to Wisconsin, to Idahao, to Michigan, and yes . . . . West Hartford, Connecticut.
Are these bland real estate statistics really the best measure of the best city to raise a family?
What if we ranked our cities on Sustainability Measures instead?
