A thriving city, in my opinion, is a combination of three things.
1. Low crime rates.
2. Low housing prices.
3. Plenty of high paying jobs.

And there you have it. After I finished both undergrad and grad schools, I was looking very hard to move to Traverse City or Petoskey or Alpena. Without the jobs, without work, people will not stay or move into the community. Everything else comes from that strong work base.
