Let me ask that question again – whether there's anything that these ten worst places to retire have in common. But this time, I’m going to preface the question with this map of the so-called RED and BLUE states.

Do you see what I'm driving at?
The results, you’ll remember, were Wisconsin, Maine, New York, Minnesota, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Vermont, Rhode Island, Illinois, and . . . uh . . . BOSTON.
Compare that list to the map, and…
10. Wisconsin – BLUE
9. Maine – BLUE
8. New York – BLUE
7. Minnesota – BLUE
6. New Jersey – BLUE
5. Massachusetts – BLUE
4. Vermont – BLUE
3. Rhode Island – BLUE
2. Illinois – BLUE
1. Boston – BLUE
Hmm. Interesting indeed. It almost suggests that liberal politics result in an unsustainable lifestyle!
But I don’t want to jump the gun. Perhaps one of the denizens of these blue states would be so kind as to explain why such a conclusion is in error..
