A Tale of Two Cities: Yahoo!'s City Comparisons

If you're choosing between two jobs, two possible locations for a new business, or two places you might like to retire to, Yahoo! has a wonderful resource for you. Pick any two US cities from a list of several hundred and you can retrieve a side-by-side comparison of key aspects ranging from property values to crime rates to car insurance premiums. Alternatively, you can select a quality of particular importance to you and generate a ranked list of all the cities in the database. For example, I hate hot weather. So, I generated a ranking of cities according to the average high temperature in July. Now I know why I left my heart in San Francisco!
