Smartest city? (USA)
I'll be the first to say that this list is incorrect. What do you think (Carl?)?

Seattle made it. I'm just wondering where all the 'smart' people are. Although if I were smarter, I would probably know.

Yep not about only where the smartest people are - just Fast Co.'s idea of what makes for a "smart" city using their own criteria.

I have no idea what sort of weird metric they’re using to determine smartness or even what they there “defining” smartness to be?

The criteria are in a link that was part of the OPs original linked article.
But their application does seem somewhat subjective in how they are scored.

Most of these lists I find subjective. They results are often bendable.

What do I think? I think the 0 in that top 10 was put next to the wrong 1...

Smartest American City?
I'm not sure. Can an oxymoron have three words?

What defines city size, what about where Silicon valley is and again while not American Raleigh I thought was pretty sharp, at least it is in Biotech which is what i am involved in.
