I came across this article about the top 5 cities in the U.S. to build wealth. Quality of life and the relative power of the dollar were both factors, as well as the overall economic climate in the decision making process.
Read the article and let me know what you think.

Iowa City a Great Place to Do Business
Our local Chamber of Commerce sent out two separate press announcements form two different sources claiming Iowa City is a great place to do business.
The first article from Forbes has Iowa ranked at #2 for smaller metros. They used a host of variables like crime rate, cost of living, job growth, etc. to come to this conclusion. Iowa City is only behind Souix Falls, SD and beat out Bloomington, IN.
The second article is from Fortune magazine and ranks Iowa City #21 out of 100 best places to live and launch a career. The article follows an example of a film producer who moved from LA to Iowa City. It cites factors of desirability like tax incentives and great environment along with access to world-class entertainment. The downside is that there are few direct flights to or from this area.
