interesting, ping me if you do the 25 most conservative.
The two lists could just as easily be of the fastest growing communities in the country and the slowest growing, or declining communities in the country. It's probably not a coincidence.

People, jobs, creativity and productivity go where they are welcomed, honored and celebrated.
