Plus Provo is the poster child for urban sprawl - jewelry stores, cell phone kiosks, and megaburrito joints popping up all over the place.
Not to mention how many businesses there are down there with unsustainable business models (i.e. pyramid schemes).
No wonder Kiplinger's likes Provo - it's the last place in America where people are spending money foolishly.
I wonder what the criteria is for this ranking.
Provo is obviously on the list for several reasons.
To all of those naysayers that posted above me: Thank you for staying out of Provo. We have enough people enjoying the 10th best city to live in already.
Provo has been and always will be one of the best places to live in America!
As far as the criteria...... how about affordable living, beauty, cleanliness, low crime, outdoor activity????
Sacramento is great....why? Because you have lots of schools and cooler weather? So in other words, overcrowding, high priced housing, high crime and traffic?
Stay away from Utah Co!!! Less crowding for me and more room on the ski slopes, etc.
I guess that depends on your definition of living.
If yours involves things like complaining to police about your elderly neighbor lady's yard, then yes, Provo definitely belongs in the top 10.
