These were cities in his research which were comfortable to live in based on ambiance and accessibility.  Reports show the criteria looked at a variety of factors including: fireplace/space heater usage, access to parks, how accessible coffee shops and restaurants were on foot,  stress factors, and historical ambiance.

  1. Boston/Cambridge, Mass.
  2. San Francisco, Calif.
  3. Santa Fe, N.M.
  4. Washington, D.C.
  5. Portland, Ore.
