Happy People
"People are happy" is one of the most common statistical lies. Happiness is not measurable. For instance, the common report "Finland is the happiest country". If you look into it, they decided this by asking people to rate how happy they were. Nordic countries have more social pressure for people to say they are happy. - You also can't rate happiness by "community" or "the environment" or "emotional and physical well being" because the survey makers decide what constitutes a happy community, happy physical well being (e.g., what can and cannot be done to children) etc. It is just propaganda and it makes me sad to see the number of people who believe whatever any survey says. You'd think we would learn this when election surveys are almost always way off, but we don't learn.

Poor California! They're all moving to Florida and Texas. I know why. Wish everyone did!
I laughed out loud when I saw (what was once the beautiful city of) San Francisco on the list. Perhaps this is a Very, VERY Old Article. |

A few years ago the mayors of the big cities had an online conference that was supposed to address these issues. They came out with a joint statement that said that just because they have a high crime rate, doesn't mean we're not a good place to live. Translation: We are not going to report accurate crime statistics because we don't want to be at the top of a worst crime list. And you thought these mayors didnt care about high crime rates?

I believe over 100,000 people kind of makes it a city. As for your comment on California, people are leaving it because it's so fabulous it costs a fortune to live there..... you get what you pay for. If I could afford to buy a house there, I would in a NY minute.

I suspect that the reason democratic socialist countries are the top 10 happiest is because the residents aren't one illness away from bankruptcy. They get free education and free health care.... that takes a big load off their minds.

To paraphrase Abraham Lincoln, I think most people are as happy as they choose to be. It is a question of attitude toward life.

"Analysis of the approximately 750,000 people who have bid farewell to California over the last three years has revealed that thousands more high-earning, well-educated workers have left the Golden State than have moved in." "It is not just wealthy residents leaving; businesses are also exiting the state — again due to high tax rates, punitive regulations, high labor, utility and energy costs, among other things."
