Maybe I should move? Other places have lower housing prices AND they are more literate overall. According to some people, the most literate cities in the U.S. are:

1. Minneapolis

2. Seattle

3. St. Paul, Minn.

4. Denver

5. Washington, D.C.

6. St. Louis

7. San Francisco

8. Atlanta

9. Pittsburgh

10. Boston

“The rankings, originated and authored by CCSU’s president John W. Miller, compare the country’s 69 biggest cities in terms of libraries, bookstores, educational levels, newspaper readership, locally published magazines and Internet resources.”

I am glad San Francisco is on the list, at least. I am surprised Portland, Oregon is not.
