Comments on: America’s 20 Most Miserable Cities http://www.imperfectwomen.com/americas-20-most-miserable-cities/ Just another WordPress weblog Thu, 09 Feb 2012 06:13:41 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: steve c http://www.imperfectwomen.com/americas-20-most-miserable-cities/comment-page-1/#comment-10488 steve c Tue, 23 Feb 2010 06:18:02 +0000 http://www.imperfectwomen.com/?p=6735#comment-10488 This "list" is highly subjective and a load of crap that appeals to people's inate need of such lists. I live in the suburbs of NYC and despite any negatives (Knicks and Mets suck), NYC is still is great. What shows the greatest flaw of this list is the absence of Washington DC. This hellhole is loaded with the lowest form of scumbags and criminals and cheats, drug addicts, sex fiends and the dregs of society. And that's not counting the people outside congress and the once hallowed halls of government. No, if such a misery index existed, the readings would be off the scale in this cynical dungheap.

I do feel for business owners in California, I really do. Holly, I have heard about your mayor – he gets around, doesn’t he? :-)

I am in northern California and we have many meters that are $2.00 an hour.

I do feel for business owners in California, I really do.

I have lived here my whole life and if my family did not live here I would move in a second. We have the highest unemployment we have ever had. Being a business owner in this city, just means taxes upon taxes. Our sales tax is almost 10.5% and we get nothing for it! No matter where you turn you are getting hit up for more money! The parking meters that were .25 for an hour are now $1.00 an hour. We have Los Angeles City Council-members getting $178,789.00 a year salaries and another $100,000.00 in a "discretionary fund" to use as they "see fit". We have a Mayor, Anthony Villaragosa, who spends more time on "travel junkets" and "photo ops" than working here in L. A. In fact I just read that he was out of the State filming an episode of All My Children! Yes he is in "Pine Valley" speaking with Erica Cane at a "green jobs submit"! You couldn't make this stuff up!

I never imagined it as a state to avoid. I was surprised to see Miami. I guess I have the whole "fun in the sun" image of it. I wasn't surprised to see Detroit either but NYC did throw me for a loop.

Why would Memphis be #3??? No Bakersfield? :-) Some of these make sense, i.e. Detroit and Flint (due to corruption and horrible economy), but others leave me scratching my head.

No Bakersfield? :-)
