Dreaming of a new life

Turns out nearly 50% of us dream of moving to another city or town. There are some differences between young and old, men and women, republican and democrats. The survey of 2,260 people shows that younger people are drawn to cities. Of the top 30 cities, these people prefer Denver, San Diego and Seattle.



How did your city score?

How many of us will actually move? And how many will just dream of moving?

    I'm sure my current town of Rossville, Kansas would score a negative number on the dream town scale. My vote is for San Diego!

    Rossville has its charm! Beautiful farms, with lots of asparagus.
