Where is the best place to live?

I was reading an article in USA Today titled "50 Best Cities to Live In" (link below). The author made the value claim that Meridian, Idaho is the best place to live. Who on earth has ever heard of Meridian, Idaho?? I continued reading and the article made the claim that it was the best with the warrants that included that it was safe and there were many jobs available. This was extremely effective because everyone wants to live in a safe city and everyone wants to live somewhere where job opportunities are available. The author also supported this claim by providing a strong logos appeal with statistics regarding violent crime and employment statistics in the city. Although I was skeptical at first, the more I read the more I tossed around the idea that Meridian might be a good place to live (but I could never leave Texas). Due to the effective warrants and use of logos in this argument, the author was effective in convincing me that Meridian, Idaho is the best city to live in.

In case you were wondering... Here is a picture of Meridian, Idaho.
