What does the #1 in the Top 25 Towns To Live Well look like
Last Sunday this site feature Forbes’ list of America’s Top 25 Towns To Live Well (and have easy access to VC’s).
Of course the Bay Area took 5 spots on that list. Is it any surprise? It’s the Top 25 Towns To Live Well (and have easy access to VCs). The Bay Area is so special that it deserves to be in the list.
But sadly, #1 was taken by a non-Bay Area city. Let’s take a look at what a typical Bay Area house buys you in that #1 city…
352 Balsam Ln, Boulder, CO, 80304 – MLS ID#592543 – Single Family Home real estate – REALTOR.com®
Yeesh. I certainly wouldn’t want to live there. Would you?
(Any Boulder experts want to confirm whether this is in a top Boulder neighborhood?)

I bet you Boulder, CO employees don’t make 100K a year and retire with huge pensions. Beat that, Boulder.
The RBA rocks. High salaries for everyone. We can afford McMansions! Bring it on!

I really regret that when I lived at the old Ent Army AF Base, in its present incarnation of giving those with no life and some sports talent something to do, that I didn’t visit Boulder and that big missile base in the mountain. Or go to the top of Pike’s Peak for that matter. Too busy being sent around the world to do some silly thing and get handed medals to visit my own local sights! Shame on me!
I have a sort of sick fascination with squalor though, and I have a feeling that Boulder would have been disappointing. The Bay Area offers it in spades, and at so much higher a price!
