Survey: Raleigh top US city for quality of life

Raleigh placed numero uno in the USA in Portfolio.com's survey of which cities have the best quality of life.  Growth, educated workforce, lots of high level jobs and a large inventory of new homes were all cited as factors that made Raleigh stand out above the rest.  The survey focused on employment and housing data, so other cities with more major league sports, parks, beaches, and the like will no doubt claim foul.  Also there were no adjustments for disamenities such as corruption, crime or pollution.
