11. It's a wonderful place in many ways

Very liberal, college vibe and diversity (well by WI standards), quite a strong community spirit, big enough to have most fun amenities without being so huge as to be unmanageable and hour-to-get-anywhere like, say, Houston.

But the goddamn roads... It's not like I'm ignorant of frost heaves. I lived in even colder St Paul for a decade, but the potholes there are few and tiny and fleeting compared to the 6-month craterblasted nature of roads in Madison. If you don't worry about a rattly car and suspension rebuilds every couple years it's a great place - if you can handle winters of course.
