You should know that these "city rankings" are always a load of nonsense and should never be taken seriously.
They're usually put together in an afternoon by a marketing department, in this case, it's a marketing piece for a home loans website.
The goal is to get clicks, not to be accurate. In fact, the less accurate you are, the more likely you are to get clicks, so getting the intern to put it together in Excel based off of an arbitrary "scoring system" is a benefit.
My dad sent me this article the other day and I literally laughed out loud when I read the title.
Only an American would write a title like that.

We came, we rode, we conquered. Thanks Bike New York for another great Five Boro Bike Tour!
I visited Lake Conestee Nature Park this afternoon, which is located just outside of Greenville. It’s mostly wetlands, but is home to a wide variety of wildlife. Many of the boardwalks were torn up by Hurricane Helene. #LakeConesteeNaturePark #ConesteeSC #Helene #GreenvilleSC
Mark Zuckerberg argued this week the user always knows best when it comes to relationships with bot companions. But lots of people don't even feel in control of their relationship with Instagram https://www.platformer.news/mark-zuckerberg-dwarkesh-healthy-bots-loneliness-lmarena/

Boss makes a million, I make jack.
This is why I riot to seize the means back.

To keep Neurothing's seat warm on the #ThursdayFiveList chair, it is my turn to host this week's edition. An honor, to be sure.
Today marks May 1st, also called International Workers' Day or Labour Day in many countries. A celebration of the working class and labourers around the world.
So; in honor of those who laid down the means of production to secure better working conditions for those who came after. And to never stop the strive for better working conditions everywhere, let's celebrate labour with #WorkWork.
Post your 5 work related songs with the hashtag #WorkWork and #ThursdayFiveList and we'll blast through this day in no time.
Wikipedia says it will use AI, but not to replace human volunteers https://techcrunch.com/2025/04/30/__trashed-4/
Israeli forces have now dropped more explosives in Gaza than fell on London, Dresden, and Hamburg during the Second World War. The region’s hospitals have not been spared; most are no longer functional. Clayton Dalton writes about the devastation. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2025/04/28/hospitals-in-ruins
The AI companies have been caught building AIs that only tell us what we want to hear. If we don't get a handle on it, that's gonna go really badly: https://www.platformer.news/meta-ai-chatgpt-glazing-sycophancy/
