  According to a 2008 Gallup-Healthways study, people who live in San Luis Obispo are more likely than residents of other US cities to smile and experience joy and are less likely to experience pain or depression. Some 64,000 of the 260,000 people in the greater metropolitan area, located halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco, volunteer at over 11,000 non-profit organizations. Few commutes are longer than 10 minutes (one reason its members rank in the upper third for job satisfaction), so "it's easy to be involved," resident Pierre Rademaker told Buettner. Business signs are unobtrusive by law, fewer than 11% of residents smoke—the lowest rate in the US—there are lots of bike lanes, and the city's plaza draws throngs of people for free concerts on summer Fridays. What's not to love?
