For 2007, Money Magazine's annual survey focused on small towns with a sense of community. Topping the list? Middleton, Wisconsin -- population 17,400.

From Money Magazine:

"For this year's list we focused on smaller places that offered the best combination of economic opportunity, good schools, safe streets, things to do and a real sense of community."

Why did Middleton, WI, get the top nod? "Small-town charm; booming economy; extensive parks and bike trails". In short, a ideal place to live out the middle class American dream. The cons -- a tough winter, and a lack of ethnic diversity.

Other places that make this year's top 10 include Hanover, New Hampshire, Louisville, Colorado, and Lake Mary, Florida.

Maybe we should blame Thomas Jefferson. He was the godfather of the urban sprawl racket in America.
