This morning CNN headlines the “research” that leads to identifying the 10 Best Places to live in the US of A.
Peachtree City, Ga a place I helped design and manage is number 8. I should be happy, right?

Unfortunately the whole story and the “research” behind it is more evidence of the Fundamental Thesis Number Two: Citizens do not know where they are.
Go to the “Contenders by State” listing and look up the 41 Virginia candidates. The headlines say these are “cities.” At first glance it appears that most are unincorporated places within counties. The ones that have the same names as cities have the populations of the postal zip codes with that name.
