Expansion Management's 2007 Quality of Life Quotient puts us at #2 for large cities. According to their website: "Our 9th Annual Quality of Life Quotient rates each of the 362 metro areas to find out which offer the best middle class lifestyle for manufacturing and service companies."

Criteria include affordable housing, good public schools, and several other factors.

I'm glad to see we were ranked well. Whether this is a reliable index or not (and I haven't looked closely enough to form an opinion on that), this may help to attract some businesses to expand here. Enough rankings like this (and there have been plenty of others) could add up to improve our image in the business world.

The list (for metros over 1 million)....

1. Rochester, N.Y.

2. Pittsburgh, Pa.

3. Austin-Round Rock, Texas

4. Boston-Cambridge-Quincy, Mass.-N.H.

5. San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, Calif.

6. Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington, Minn.-Wis.

7. Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, D.C.-Md.-Va.-W.Va.

8. Oklahoma City, Okla.

9. Kansas City, Mo.-Kan.

10. Richmond, Va.
