DMagazine's suburban rankings -- FM is Top 10 again

Yet another strong finish for Flower Mound in D Magazine's ranking of Dallas-area suburbs. We're #8 this year, and in good company.

Their top 10:

1. Southlake
   
2. Parker
   
3. Highland Village
   
4. University Park
   
5. Highland Park
   
6. Colleyville
   
7. Trophy Club
   
8. Flower Mound
   
9. Hickory Creek
   
10. Murphy
    

UP and HP fell off the top of the list because of rising crime. And how does Highland Village rank above Flower Mound? Their survey notes the median household income in HV is about 10% higher than FM, and they're also excited about the new commercial development on their side of FM407 at FM2499. But I think they think that Highland Shores (a very nice neighborhood) is all that exists in Highland Village. I'm not trying to be a FM snob (maybe I am), but I'll put our all our neighborhoods against all theirs any day. The survey also applauds HV for its politics, which I think are downright hideous, mean and unprofessional -- far worse than Flower Mound's.
