The article is a bit confusing... the list typed out is all about Migration away from cities and the picture slide show takes that and other factors into account to determine the absolute worst cities in the country.

Yep, good ol' Detroit takes the prize for worst city in the USA.

Darth One · 07-05-2018, 04:55 PM

yeah, that site sucks. there's a slide show at the top where you can flip through the 50 worst cities. or you can scroll down and there's a totally separate list that shows the cities where the most people are migrating away from. so which is it?

and then when you read the slide show all they do is give you one fact about that city. i was excited to read all the ways they were going to shit on Miami, and all i get is "it's expensive to live there". really? that's all you got??

the biggest contributing factor for Miami being on the list should be "Lebron thought it was so bad, he left miami for cleveland"

thats a very damning piece of evidence

wntrsnowg · 07-05-2018, 05:04 PM

I definitely agree with Bakersfield, CA!

Your city sucks, so the publication that compiled the data sucks too.

We all see how you think now.

Did you happen to read the part where most people living in Miami are poor?

Bakersfield is fun. i had to go there a few times for work in the mid-1990's.

gotta love driving into the city limits and seeing all the street and stop signs with bullet holes in them

you're not getting me. i know my city sucks. what i'm asking is, why the fuck does that site have two totally separate lists on the same page?

I agree. That was weird. One is about people moving away from cities and one is about "the worst cities in America."

For the record, I dont think Miami sucks. Lots going on and not too far from the Key's which is one of my favorite places on the planet!

Every city has its issues.

seems the biggest factors in the worst city is income levels and high crime.

not necessarily a lot of research went into the article im guessing.

PINeely · 07-05-2018, 05:20 PM

About the only reliable thing about Jackson is winding up on these lists. We're number 44 this time.

Germanauto · 07-05-2018, 05:41 PM

WTF two separate lists saying different things.

Anyhow, yes Detroit still sucks. The downtown area has improved over the past 6-7 yrs but there is still very little retail, density, walkability, and things to do. Outside the few square miles of downtown the remaining 130 sq miles are mostly a barren wasteland that I would not be caught dead driving in during the day. The article states 10.9% unemployment? BS, it's got to be at least 50%.

As far as the rest of the metro area goes, it's wholly average. There's little reason to move there unless you want to work for one of the Big 3 or a supplier. It offers everything you need to have a comfortable life but it's just not exciting or "sexy" in any way. There are a few pockets of extreme wealth but it is mostly old money or Physicians.

Kolyan2k · 07-05-2018, 06:04 PM

Those median home prices are pretty funny considering it's about $600k here. If you don't have $400-500k you will be living in a dump

CANGRKE70 · 07-06-2018, 08:38 AM

Without even looking at the list.

Cleveland
Detroit
