Inspired: Northern Virginia – where the living is good

Last week, The Upshot (a New York Times blog) ran the results of a study on the best and worst places to live in the U.S. According this study, northern Virginia has cornered the market on good living and that includes my alma mater’s home of Charlottesville. Cheers to all my Virginia-based pals. Perhaps I should join you and move back to that area if I want to live long and prosper! Maybe we all should. What do you think?

Note: The study uses six criteria: education, household income, unemployment level, disability, life expectancy, and obesity.
