I think Minneapolis should be on that list. I don't live there anymore, having moved to the SFBA.

I don't live in an urban area, but if I did I think it would be MPLS.

A friend of mine just moved to Minneapolis from the DC area. Incidentally, we were talking about this just yesterday and he told me he was surprised at how good the public spaces are there: lots of nice parks, walking/biking paths, urban infrastructure, bookstores, cafes, libraries, &c.

Downside is the winter, but I guess that's what Thinsulate was invented for.

Des Moines gets similar comments, and we have less snow. I went up to Minneapolis for a conference last summer. They had 2-3 feet of snow on the ground. I haven't seen more than 6" in central Iowa in a very long time.

Oh, and central Iowa has over 600 miles of bicycle trail.

Tell me more about the bicycle trail in Iowa. I've never heard about that.

That's what Thinsulate was invented for, and in Minnesota. http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/Thinsulate_Insul...
