Michigan the Leader Again
Story from Forbes about "America's Most Miserable Cities":
Detroit in the top spot, with its sister city Flint ranked third, is probably not a great shock.Once again Michigan hits the top of a list and once again the list sucks. Actually, if you're one of those with a fairly decent job and don't live in one of the big cities, Michigan is a pretty cool state to live in. The scenery is great with lots of green big trees and blue water all over and the climate isn't actually that bad. Sure you can live in the Upper Peninsula you can wade through several feet of snow at a time or see regular below zero temps, but all-in-all, it's not bad.
The Flint area really has great weather. We get snow, but not usually a lot. It gets hot and humid in the summer, but not really for long. And it's cold in the winter, but again, the serious cold doesn't last. I don't know about you, but having four seasons is pretty neat. And no earthquakes, mud slides or forest fires around here to worry about either. We do have wild fires now and then, but honestly nothing to really worry about.
If we could just get the kids from killing themselves off and manage to move a few more jobs into the area, it would be pretty close to a perfect place to live.
