Cleveland – Most Miserable City In The U.S.

I just finished reading a piece in Forbes.com.  Cleveland topped the list again in Forbes.com, this time for most miserable city in the U.S.  I am a Clevelander and I’m not miserable, but I know that the city does have its troubles.  Wait, the city has a lot of trouble.

When you lay-off cops, you employ crime.

People are moving out of the city at an alarming rate.

There is almost a 20% foreclosure rate.

Drive through any neighborhood, especially the east-side and you will see some of the most beautiful houses in the world boarded up.

The article goes on to say

“This year Cleveland takes the top spot in our third annual ranking of America’s Most Miserable Cities. Cleveland secured the position thanks to its high unemployment, high taxes, lousy weather, corruption by public officials and crummy sports teams (Cavaliers of the NBA excepted).”

I was born and raised here. The people aren’t miserable….

What am I going to do about living in the most miserable city in the nation? Well I’m not miserable, but I am moving out of the state in March. I’ll miss Cleveland. I hope it can shine again in the media eyes again.

If you want to read a great post about Cleveland and what it has to offer. Read this post from one of my favorite bloggers.

GO CAVS!!!!!
