detroit as well strictly because of how bad the auto industry has been doing and thats one their main sources of income.

Philly isn't unhappy. They're just pissed off at everything.

 

[suckafree85]

Another reason why Sacramento sucks..

At least no other Cali cities are on there.

 

[mosthated770]

And what do cloudy days have anything to do with being depressed? I'd prefer it to be 60 and overcast then 90 and sunny.

Psh youd be surprised.The sun can play a role in your happiness more than you think


But yea. NYC FTW. Where did NY fall on the list??

 

[juju]

damn im moving to jacksonville too. atleast they have the lowest unemployment rate of them all heh.

I can see why they are depressed.

You obviously don't follow baseball. The Reds are 26-20.

 

[sim0nsayz]

My city isn't on this list. I must be happy.

SMH @ Detroit being Top 5. I knew it.

 

[andrew630]

13 of the 15 all have professional sports teams.

 

[marath0n]

I thought Detroit would be #1. Portland was a surpise.

 

[rawk on]

I knew Miami wouldn't be on that list.

I currently go to school there. At least I'm not surprised the city made the list, due to its high crime rate.

I'm only 1 hour from Memphis and I'm not at all shocked it made the list.

 

[Master Zik]

I thought Clevand would be #1, at least we know they will be in 2010

Ifthey did this by state I'm sure Ohio would be at the top.

All in all just about all of the states in the top 10 make perfect sense when you factor what they're known for overall or recently. Bittersweet for LasVegas but with the amount of losers and meth heads there it makes sense. New Orleans is self explanatory. Detroit's obvious if you know about theirproblems.

This thread overall is depressing when you thinl about how easily some of these cities problems could be solved but we have such an inept gov't and thepeople of this country can be sooo stupid at times

Ahhh well glad I live in NY
