i do (#14)

A more Coli appropriate question is what is the white to black ratios in those cities...?

And does the black population increase as you move further away from the top of the list...?

Cornell nikkas aint that smart

 

[jwinfield]

I lived in 13 for four years for school.

But like beanie said, most of these are college towns, so you've got young educated people, professors, researchers, fortune 500 companies with offices there...

[BonafideDefacto]

Da fukk. This list is trash. Palo Alto/Sunnyvale should be #1 with Stanford, facebook home and googles home.

No Berkeley, no Santa Clara...

I read an article like this earlier this week while at work...let me find it...

No. That's the joke of this poll. It's like one of the poll takers got behind on his work, and just stopped off at some stupid towns in Pennsylvania, handed out tests, fudged the numbers, and voila. Reading, PA, Altoona, PA and Lancaster, PA are super smart towns...:cpr:
