[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote].   You criticize others for making judgments and then make your own claiming you do so "objectively." How is that any different from what others are doing? [/quote]

Pay attention - this might be a good learning experience for you.

Metrics like poverty, disinvestment, crime and population loss are objective.  They are inarguable facts.

‘I prefer the country to the city’ or ‘I couldn’t stand to be so far from the water’ is a subjective judgment - another person could have exactly the opposite perspective.

Hence objective vs subjective criteria.[/quote]

You offered an opinion on what makes something good or bad - that is subjective.  You think that the criteria listed makes for the worst locations, but others may find that based on their interests that may be a good location (or a less expensive location, or a more accessible location, etc.) Want to work with immigrants? Want to work in community development? Interested in poverty related issues? So while those may be objective metrics the belief that they make a location good or bad is a subjective matter.   Even if one were to accept your criteria, you are "objectively" wrong about Worcester.  Worcester is experiencing a population increase, lots of new development and has some of the faster growing real estate prices in the country.  Maybe you can do some research - and, you know, have a good learning experience.   [/quote]
