America's 10 most miserable cities: 2009

I agree that driving in Chicago sucks, bucklion. Which is why I don't do it. Even most suburbanites have the option of taking metra trains into town, and there are direct L lines to both major airports.

Don't get me wrong. Chicago has a lot of frustrations to it, starting with Daley's absolute refusal to enforce moving violations laws for Chicago drivers. That being said, any mega-city (NYC, LA, London, Madrid etc) is always going to have its daily struggles. The fact that people are willing to put up with them and pay more to do so, does speak to all of the positives offered.

Oh I hear you. Trust me, given the choice between the big 4 (LA, NYC, Chicago, or Houston), my choice would be obvious, I'd go back to Chitown.

The article said it added the 'public corruption' factor this year, which is likely a big reason why Chicago is so high on the list.

But having Chicago as a worse place to live than Detroit is quite a joke.

That's just sad...didn't Santonio's catch bring them some sunshine? :biggrin:

Phuk that! I'm good with it! The Burgh people can't get over the realization that he was a Buckeye & he saved the Steelers @sses with that catch!
My friends husband was pi$$ed that he got MVP! She is a OSU Alumni & the fact it went her way!
He said Harrison deserved it,for the interception,no he beat the crap out of some guy mid field & should have been ejected. That's how I see it!
The right person got MVP!:oh:
