I understand that rating citites is all subjective, but when someone ranks Iowa City behind Ames, well it really makes me scratch my head. Are they ranking Iowa City behind Ames because Des Moines is nearby, or on it's own merits?
I think Casey is either confused, swinging at thin air- or George the Chili King being a mere half hour away sways his judgement too much.
Here's a Wikipedia tidbit: Ames is the only town in Iowa with a population of greater than 50,000 that does not have a state highway serving it.

I'm certainly no Iowa expert but that is the impression I got in that Ames is better than Iowa City. The ISU girls were prettier than the Iowa ones first off. Plus I like Big XII towns better than Big TEN ones. Maybe if I spent more time in that state I would have a different opinion.

Troublemakers!!!!
I think there needs to be an impartial way to rank cities. The Cheesecake Factory factor is biased and unreliable.
I've done further studies, several double blind studies, and have come up with a factor that is unbiased and very reliable. Without further adieu, I give you the HuHot Quality of Life Index (HHQLI).
First and foremost, if a city doesn't have a HuHot, is less of a city compared to any city with a HuHot. If two cities have HuHots, the city with the most HuHots is a better city. If two cities have the same number of HuHots, the city with a HuHot located in a more ethnically diverse area is a better city.
In rating cities that do not have a Hu Hot, the city which is nearer to a HuHot in another metropolitan area is the better city. If the distance to the nearest HuHot is equal between two cities, then the city closest to George the Chili King is better.
See, this is totally unbiased and well thought out. It includes every factor needed to determine the quality of life of a city. Now we can put this thread to rest.
