North Dakota Gets Two Spots On The Best Places To Live List

Outmigrated Nodaker points out that Bismarck and Fargo got spots 77 and 64, respectively, on Money Magazine's "Top 100 Places To Live" list.

Not a bad showing for such a little state. Taking a gander at a map (links located in the middle of the page near the top) of the winners/finalists indicates that North Dakota having two cities in the finals was pretty significant. A number of states had no cities in the finals, and even more had only one city.

Democrats here in North Dakota often make a big deal out of how bad things are here in North Dakota. They complain about low wages (of course, they never want to mention cost of living in that discussion), few jobs and a lack of cultural experiences. It is interesting when we get confirmation from an outside source that North Dakota actually isn't that bad of a place after all.

It certainly makes me think that these complaints from Democrats are little more than the petty whinings of an out-of-power political party that desperately wants to be back in power.
