Imagine living in a city with the country's highest rate for violent crime and the second-highest unemployment rate. As an added kicker you need more Superfund dollars allocated to your city to clean up contaminated toxic waste sites than just about any other metro.Forbes.com - Worst Places: America's Most Miserable CitiesUnfortunately, this nightmare is a reality for the residents of Detroit. The Motor City grabs the top spot on Forbes' inaugural list of America's Most Miserable Cities.
And the complete top ten:
1. Detroit, MI
2. Stockton, CA
3. Flint, MI
4. New York City
5. Philadelphia, PA
6. Chicago, IL
7. Los Angeles, CA
8. Modesto, CA
9. Charlotte, NC
10. Providence, RI
You know, I live very happily in New York City, and have enjoyed the time I've spent in Chicago, including a year living in the northern 'burbs.
And any methodology that objectively ranks Los Angeles as *less miserable* than NYC is inherently suspect in my book.
