America's Best Bang-For-The-Buck Cities

The top 100 "bang-for-the-buck" cities are areas that were left behind during the home-building craze. The are now good place to live because people can buy an affordable house in a city with a stable housing market, plus reasonable property taxes and a minimum amount of travel time to work. Birmingham/Hoover is 28th on the list. Many of the cities are in the Southeast. We must be doing something right down here.

I am sure Jerry was thinking of a different kind of "bang for the buck".

Seriously the main reason Bham/Hoover was up there was the extremely low property taxes. I was glad to see Chattanooga up so high, they are doing a lot of things right up there.
