I’ve always thought that Sedalia was a reasonably desirable place to live.
So when I found out there was a site that measured livability, I searched for old Sedville with every expectation of finding a reasonably desirable score. After all, the internet has accessible databases for everything from bathroom art to weed prices so it’s no surprise that there would be a site that attempts to measure an area’s desirability.
