Top 10 citiesWhere did people want to move most in the year of 2012?

5 out of the top 10 cities are in California and Texas. Interesting is the case of Los Angeles. The second most populous city in the USA comes to be the sixth most wanted one to move to in 2012 after Houston, TX and Boston, MA. Other milestones that couldn't be overlooked in our top 10 are Atlanta's 8th and Denver's 10th place. With a population of less than a million, these cities seem to have what it takes to attract people.
