America's Most Miserable Cities - Forbes.com

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.

Unfortunately, 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.

That is just unfair. Detroit needs to be retired from the competition as they will dominate it for decades to come. They are men playing with boys in this competition.

Shocked Cleveland did not make the top 10.

I was a little surprised that Providence was on there. I don't know much about it (never did), but I haven't heard much negative about it. Aside from that article, obviously.

Overall, the list is about what I expected. I figured Cleveland would be on there as well.

I like Detroit more than Buffalo or Cleveland

The only thing worth a shit in the city of Detroit, or the state of Michigan for that matter is the Detroit Tigers. Detroit is truly a disgusting city.

Michigan's governor just pushed for and got an increase in tax rates. Let's see, people and jobs are fleeing in droves, so give them another reason to run like hell. Brilliant!

Any word on when Detroit is going to get replaced with Delta City?

I believe they are 42.9 miles too far east.

Hey, if I had to live that close to AA, I'd be miserable too.

Hey, if I had to live that close to AA, I'd be miserable too.

If I had to live that close to AA, I'd be moving.

I just drove through Stockton and Modesto. I'm surprised Bakersfield didn't make the list. That place is a dump.

Or if they had your sorry ass living with them...

Actually I think Las Vegas should top this list...

Foreclosures, nothing but blinding sun, "Americas Fattest City", traffic, fucking tourists. I hate it here, but my family and my job agree that I must suffer.
