The Most Beautiful People in America

An article on yahoo.com mentions that Miami is the city in America with the most beautiful people. This is according to an online survey put out by the magazine Travel + Leisure. The survey also ranks cities in categories such as most friendly and most intelligent.

We question how this survey generalizes people's personalities based on their region. It's easy to rank a region based on factors such as the number of restaurants and museums it has, but how can you quantify a personality trait such as friendliness or an objective physical characteristic like beauty?

What do you girls think about this survey? Do you think it's wrong to rank cities based on these characteristics? Do you think that the people living in the cities are impacted at all by rankings such as this one?
