Huh!? Check out some of the top 10 best downtowns for 2014. I came across this list/article on the livability.com web site and I have to say I was pretty surprised to see some of the cities they have listed and not see some of the cities that might immediately jump my head. Take a look a the list.
Truth of the matter is... depending of what type criteria you use to filter the downtown cities and how many different types. You can pretty much skew these things in any direction you would like. With that being said, It seems that they did use some pretty good ranking criteria to come up with this list. Here are a few criteria used: Population growth, retail growth, office vacancy rates, population gains, downtown accessibility, unemployment rates etc.
