We get a lot of news-ish emails about ranking cities in lists. Whether it's the best cities for strange hats or the metros one can find the most left handed plumbers, there's a list for everything. The proliferation of lists begs the question of their quality. Who is making them, are they trustworthy, and are the lists even useful at all? In this episode, Natalie and Ray look at what makes a city ranking list good and how much entertainment can we draw out of the bad ones. Check out the show notes at theurbanist [dot] org for links to the lists we discuss in the episode. As always, we love to hear from you. Tell us where you rank Seattle and the metrics you're using, as well as any questions, comments, or ideas for future episodes. Reach out to us at podcast [at] theurbanist.org. You can find The Urbanist podcast on iTunes, Spotify, and other major platforms. And if you are enjoying the podcast, be sure to offer a “like” or “thumbs up” on your favorite platform. It’s a great way to spread the word to new listeners.
