While we may hate their athletics, Iowa has some very quaint little communities as well as some first class metropolitan areas....plus, it's that much closer to Chicago which is a plusThere's really not much difference in day-to-day life between Iowa and Eastern Nebraska. Not sure I'd rank them #1 in infrastructure, though.
Yes it is ... San Diego is the best of California and La Jolla the best of San Diego.And what are they basing this off? I've lived in several states and three continents and California to me offers the best quality of life. I was in La Jolla though where it really doesn't get much better than that.

I've lived in the SF/Bay Area now for 22 years and we are planning our escape ... so many changes, so fast ...

Must not have included their Missip River towns.And Iowa is ranked best. I’m sure a lot on here will agree with that.
Chicago - did you say Chicago?While we may hate their athletics, Iowa has some very quaint little communities as well as some first class metropolitan areas....plus, it's that much closer to Chicago which is a plus
Must have excluded Orange County and Gage County

#9 US City to liveIf you think Des Moines is a first class metro area, you really need to get out more. Whenever I stayed there for work, I couldn't wait to get the hell out of the town.
Before you chime in about West Des Moines, Iowa fans, good shopping and high end chain restaurants don't do anything for me. But great live entertainment and national acts coming through your city on a regular basis do. That's one reason why Des Moines sucks. They don't have a decent live music venue that brings in great shows regularly. Omaha has at least two in The Waiting Room and Slowdown.
What "first class metropolitan areas" would those be? I've been all over Iowa and have never found anything of the sort.

LOL, says the guy who lives in Dallas...Let's see. California:
Bankrupt.
Extremely expensive to live there.
Businesses bailing.
High unemployment rates.
Wildfires.
Just a matter of time before a major earthquake.
Full of really weird people.
I'm sure I missed few things.

There are more high end jobs in DM than Omaha. They are primarily related to insurance and financial industry. Yes it is good for young professionals. I've lived and worked in Omaha and Des Moines area. Des Moines does a better job cleaning up the blighted areas than omaha#9 US City to live

I find their criteria for quality of life confusing and weird: https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/rankings/quality-of-life
I live in this super boring suburban neighborhood, winding streets, cul de sacs, the whole bit. Great neighborhood, nothing exciting or scandalous ever happens.Interesting criteria they are using. Don't see a lot of those top 10 on a top 10 list normally
A lot more interesting than
"This is what MY personal tastes are, anything that doesn't meet them sucks"
I'm no globetrotter but have lived in 9 different states and around 28 different towns / cities.
My basic conclusion:
Every place / state / town / city I have ever lived had things about it that sucked the big one.
Too big. Too small. Weather sucks (anywhere you live in the US someone will eventually walk up to you and say "don't like the weather here in ___________? Wait 15 minutes. guffaw). Traffic sucks. Taxes too high. Housing and rent too high. Schools suck. Not enough jobs. Not enough good jobs. Roads suck. Garbage collection sucks. Too homogeneous. Too much gang activity. No entertainment. Too many people from somewhere else. Not enough people from somewhere else. Not close to the airport. Too much air traffic noise. Too many rednecks. No hunting around.
And every place I have ever lived had things about it that were great. Couldn't be happier with the area I live in now even though many people that were born and raised here think it sucks.
Interested in why you live in the suburbs of Chicago and not in the metro of Chicago?I live in this super boring suburban neighborhood, winding streets, cul de sacs, the whole bit. Great neighborhood, nothing exciting or scandalous ever happens.
The shit people find to rile themselves up about never ceases to amaze me. I'm in a facebook group for the neighborhood and people will frequently post and be like, "There was a car parked by my house, I called the police to investigate. Be on the lookout!"
God forbid somebody sees a coyote, let alone two or three coyotes, they lose their goddamned minds like the coyotes are gonna pick your locks and come upstairs to rip your throat out.
