Ithaca Is The 3rd Safest Small Town in America!

Most people in Ithaca know they live in the best small town in the US. Now we have the data to back it up. Sperlings has posted their list of most secure towns and cities in America. Ithaca ranks 3rd (< 150,000 pop) behind places you wouldn’t want to live in anyway. Did this happen because of notorious hanging judges, strict zero-tolerance policies, or brutal cops working on their "tough on crime" merit badges? Nah. Contrary to what the average sheep thinks, those things actually increase crime. (Yes they do, smarty, look it up! Baaaahaaaa!) To understand why, you need to look at another recently released study:

Ithaca Has The 2nd Best Schools in The Country!

Good job! You got the connection in one try. Have a sticker. Expansion Management magazine, a business mag for companies looking for relocation sites, just published a study stating that Ithaca has the second best schools in the US. And, since Ithaca fell into the category of cities with populations under 500,000, it was up against even greater competition. Of course it comes as no surprise that the town that came in at #1 cheated. That’s right, they did. Obviously the school board had their teachers plan their curriculums around this study. There is no other explanation.

For those of you in towns and cities where you have to send your kid to private school and alarm your home (oooh! That’s a long list), here’s some advice: Move! Alternatively you could put your money in your local public school and boot out any elected official who claims to be "tough on crime".

A few of you can move here, but send me an email first so I can see how many graduates students moved home this year. There just aren’t houses for all of you.
