San Luis Obispo, CA
圣路易斯-奥比斯波 加利福利亚洲
According to a 2008 Gallup-Healthways study, people who live in San Luis Obispo are more likely than residents of other U.S. 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 U.S.—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?
据2008年盖洛普-健康方式的一项调查，住在圣路易斯-奥比斯波的人们比美国其他城市的居民更会笑，更会享受快乐，而不太可能经历痛苦和绝望。这座比较大型的大都市，位于洛杉矶和旧金山中间， 260000市民中有大约64000名是11000多个非盈利行组织中的自愿者。通勤的时间没有长于十分钟的（一个原因是他的成员对于工作的满意度是位于前三），因此“很容易专心工作，”市民皮埃尔拉德梅克告诉比纳特。法律禁止招摇过市的商业招牌，不足11%的市民抽烟---这是全美国吸烟率最低的城市---那里有许多自行车道，夏天周五的时候城市的广场总是能吸引成群的人们在那开音乐会。还有什么不喜欢的呢？
