Having written so much tough news the last couple years about the Sacramento region - beset by mortgage defaults, falling sales, declining prices - it's a pleasure to note that a new ranking of cities by Kiplinger.com lists Sacramento in the top 10 for best U.S. cities.
California's capital city is ranked number 8.
Say the editors: "We sought places with strong economies and abundant jobs, plus reasonable living costs and plenty of fun things to do."
Here are Kiplinger's 10 Best Cities of 2008:
- Houston, TX
- Raleigh, NC
- Omaha, NE
- Boise, ID
- Colorado Springs, CO
- Austin, TX
- Fayetteville, AR
- Sacramento, CA
- Des Moines, IA
- Provo, UT
