I've seen it before: I think my score was close to zero :-)
The big problem - in addition to the ones they talk about - is that they're generating the scores based on the "amenities" they think are important, q good many of which are utterly irrelevant to me. Why should I care if there's a video rental place nearby, when I don't even own a television? Or coffee shops, movie theaters, bars, &c, none of which I regularly patronize.
On the flip side, they don't count the things that are important: places to hike, ski, mountain bike, etc... I suppose it's a decent tool if you think their lifestyle's a decent way to live, but how many people think that? It's part & parcel of the "urban green" attitude, which thinks humans really ought to LIKE living all jammed together, instead of merely tolerating it as a matter of economic necessity.
