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.

The promise of 'communities' yet-to-come must be particularly offensive to people who pre-date incoming developments. What is the 'beginning of a community that has the body language of a community?' Does this imply that the current neighborhoods in and around downtown Los Angeles lack such a 'body language'?
