Man, Michigan nearly sweeps it in XC scoring! Go us!
The Internet's most miserable city? Slide Show Land.
Forbes loves to do these kinds of lists based on a random collection of data.
Most of these cities are in the midwest or California. Which I can agree with, because most large cities in the midwest are pretty miserable.
Ohio is right up there, not too far behind Michigan!

Pure Michigan FTW!!!
Yeah, and so is the Central Valley of CA (Modesto, Stockton, Fresno, etc). But although the valley itself is a miserable POS, at least you're pretty close to the Sierra Nevada.

Hey, we put 3 in the top 10 - including 3rd and 4th!
Michigan: 1, 2, 7 10
Illinois: 3, 4, 9 16
California: 5, 6, 8 19

New Jersey: 13,15
New York: 10,18

Scoring 3 deep, cross country style.

No wonder Michael Moore is such an angry guy. His hometown of Flint sucks.
And how is the cesspool of Washington, DC not included??
What a useless list.
They mention weather all the time, like that is reason enough to evacuate an area.
Bad weather means different things to different people unless the tool that wrote that garbage considers himself the final decision maker.
It's a silly list. The knocks on NYC are that it's expensive and that commutes can be long. Well, people LIKE living there, many of them make sufficient money, and many do NOT have long commutes.
And is anyone gonna tell me that Camden, NJ, which is #12 to NYC's #10, is actually LESS miserable? And heck, where are Paterson NJ and Elizabeth NJ on this list? Anyone VOLUNTARILY wanna live there?
they forgot evey median size city in Illinois, Springfield, Decatur, Danville, Bloomington, Rockford, Champaign, and Peoria....etc
you wouldn't want to live in any of these places..they all suck
Yeah, I was going say the same. NYC in the same category as Camden, NJ? Nope.
Heavy blue areas dominate the list. Hmmmm...

I visited Milwaukee and eastern Wisconsin last summer and that place is damned beautiful. Maybe the job picture isn't so bright but sure as shit isn't Camden or Toledo.
I would say most American cities are deplorable compared to Northern European cities, which are clean, modern, socially and culturally progressive, with well educated populaces.

Since when did #19 Gary, Indiana get annexed to California?
