Miserable city?
-
Wanted to bump this up now to again see how absurd this analysis was. And if you take one factor: team success, since I posted this Cleveland of course has had the Cavs win a championship and the Indians appear in another World Series, and What happened in San Diego? They lost another team that left town. And another thing is with global warming the winters here are slightly milder than they used to be. No they’re not as good as San Diego but again Cleveland had a better rating than San Diego in 11 out of the 12 criteria. I don’t know if there was ever a follow-up to this in the last five years but But I thought I would dig this up just again to show how idiotic it was

You are right I am sure that this is just a complete pile of horseshit. And not likely having actually used any of the data that they had available to them.

Cleveland's not even in the top 40 in terms of crime rate by city
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States...s_by_crime_rate
Were not in the top 100 in terms of coldest cities with atleast 50,000 in population
http://www.city-data.com/top2/c456.html
And as far as sports, atleast we have a team in the three major sports, Indians, Cavs, Browns. Weather or not a Team has won a championship in the last decade isnt a barometer as to weather the cites miserable to live in. Columbus has no professional teams and a higher crime rate. There reasoning for selecting Cleveland #1 has no merit.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States...s_by_crime_rate
According to that chart you provided Cleveland's crime rate of 1556+ per 100,000 is #7 worst in the country after St. Louis, Detroit, Baltimore, Memphis, KC and Milwaukee. Read the chart again under "Total" per 100,000.

Well, I used something that said "FBI list of cities with most violent crimes per capita." I don't know if I used Wikipedia, or the FBI's own website, or something else. I didn't make it up. Not sure where I got it.
(remember also...I did this research in 2010....the stats you reflect are from 2017. Don't know if things could have changed that drastically in that time.

One bad side of town or neighborhood or suburb can kind of ruin things for a ciy or region happens now all over the world.
Just look at South Chicago or the east side of Cleveland or South Central LA or many other cities now.

There are areas of Houston and Dallas I would definitely have on my concealed 9mm (I have the license to carry).

Cleveland is definetely a high crime city, the suburbs are mostly safe however. I wouldn't go to E78th and St. Clair where my dear grandparents lived now or I would probably be killed because I'm white.

You might more likely be killed for some other reasons.

There are areas in our wonderful country that even our well armed and trained police won't go without backup. Sad.

Sherlock Holmes said that he would rather hang around some of the worst slums of London rather than be out into the countryside because he thought crime out there was far worse so maybe it’s the same in this country maybe the cities are safer than the country.

The bayous of Louisiana hold a lot of secrets. James Lee Burke is an excellent crime novel writer that brings that to life in his "Dave Robicheaux" books. But the best kept secret is the deep woods of East Texas. Rumor has it that the mafia that operated in Galveston years ago loved to "visit" The Big Thicket" with their former "friends".
