All 4 seasons are represented, usually in the same day or week and iirc we get usually 6 days of perfect weather in a calendar year. AHHH Kansas.

Yeah, I like college towns. I should build in a scoring bonus for that. I put it in my model because I'd seen it on a few "good places to live" lists, but Kansas doesn't seem very tax-friendly, which offsets the more affordable housing compared to Denver. And the weather's not necessarily better than Denver's, depending on one's tastes. So it's not at the bottom of the list, but I can't score it in the top half.
