As someone who once spent a winter in Minnesota, I heartily disagree with No. 1.

RE: I heartily disagree with not posting the list.

Please just go to the website if you’re interested. It’s just one click away.

I can’t format the Money Magazine page and post it here.

Not sure really how they determine the best places......but as my son recently said to me....my area is one of the best kept secrets in places to live in the nation. It’s small enough to manage and enjoy nicely...conservative...and you have everything a big city has just smaller in scale. Population 30,000. Great housing, hospital and education.

Sure, but Pennsylvania’s governor, legislature and Supreme Court sucks. November 2020 proved it.

You have to go all the way to #43 to find a place in California on this list.

I’d rather read articles on how to reside outside of the US at this point.
How can I move to Sweden and Denmark and obtain residency there?
The US is done

All lists of this type, are dependent on the criteria used to compile the list. The severe winter weather found in a Minnesota town will cause some to take it off a listing such as this. I take it that weather was not among the subjective criteria used by Money magazine.

Agreed. Minnesota is actually a fairly miserable place to live, weather-wise. Sure, the air is pure, there's lots to do outdoors (weather permitting), and those midwestern Lutherans are nice to a fault.

But the summers are *hot* - not Arizona hot, but hot enough with humidity to be miserable. Those 10,000 lakes they brag about mean nearly constant high humidity. Oh, and what's the other thing having 10,000 lakes around means? 10 billion mosquitoes and other bugs. So sure, if you enjoy sweating through your clothes in minutes, and slathering chemicals over all your exposed skin...

Then there are the winters. Cold? As cold as Arizona is hot. So cold the moisture in car exhaust routinely freezes onto the pavement at intersections - creating thin layers of nearly invisible black ice, causing innumerable fender benders at red lights. So cold spilled hot coffee will literally freeze before hitting the ground. Get used to the idea of shoveling the same snow multiple times. It won't melt from November through March, and the wind will keep putting it back where it wants it.

Anyone else notice that most of the "nice" places to live are places you've never heard of before? Or maybe only in passing, or maybe only because you lived somewhere nearby and recognize the town name? I believe there is a reason for that. Places "off the map" that don't attract a lot of attention can be really nice places to live. Get too much publicity - like making this list - and leftists take note and decide they'd like to move out of the third world s**t-holes they've created. They move in, vote for the same dumb ideas they always have, and in the span of a few years can ruin a once nice place to live. Lather, rinse, repeat. Consider lowly Louisville CO as an example. 10 years ago it was #1. Now it has a higher tax rate than 93% of the rest of Colorado. Imagine that.

Yeah, Minnesota has two seasons: road construction and skiing.
But we found a way around the problem of liberals moving here:
1) we already tax too much
2) the powers that be are already liberal

All the same, I’m starting to look for other northern-tier states for retirement.

Hilton Head Island made the list. :-)

Bluffton and Beaufort should've made this list as well.

Most of those places have WAY too much snow and cold.

I am not sure how they came up with this.

As someone who worked in Chanhassen MN for 8 years, I can honestly say this is nonsense. Even discounting the 5 months of winter weather, it a very boring place in a state with very high Government regulation and taxes.

If the State is blue, you will be too.

Sweden is awash with Muslims causing problems especially in Malmo and Göteborg… and the problem is throughout the country.

Both Denmark DN Sweden are expensive… a 5th of whiskey will cost you at least $60.

if you seek freedom in the EU… try Hungary or Bucharest, Romania.

Better weather, and the cost of living is 25% that of Germany… which is cheaper than Sweden. Taxes are far lower too if you are working.

I’ve lived in Sweden and worked all over Europe… including many former Commi countries… I’m moving from Central Europe to Bucharest… due to taxes.
