New York, N.Y.

Misery Measure 668

Housing costs are through the roof, and income tax rates are 10.5%, more than twice the U.S. average.

Commuting times are also the worst, at an average of 36 minutes each way.

Oh man, Flint is always at the top of these lists, but instead of bringing it down, I'm going to speak positively about it! Maybe with a little help we can get it back to the pristine days of its past.

Did you guys know that Flint was the very first city in the U.S. that AC/DC played at? That's right, Flint, MI brought AC/DC to America. And for that I love Flint!

Why not ... 50000 other people do.
They drank the koolaid. When I was just getting out of the Army and looking at Grad Schools, I looked at UOP back in '85 and the City looked worst than Tillicum, WA, Lawton, OK and Anniston, AL all rolled into one.

Wound up at UW (Go Huskies) and only fate and Intel Corporation brought me back to Cali.

Heck, there's not even a cigar lounge in a City of almost 300k!

I was born and raised in Detroit. I lived there until I was 11.

I went to college (U of M-Flint) in the #3 city.

I'm surprised I'm still alive!

I was too, until my parent escaped for Phoenix when I was 8. And things in Detroit just got worse . . . . Although the suburbs seem about as nice as anywhere else, at least in the summertime.

Very true, Oakland County (Novi, Bloomfield Hills) ranks up there with anywhere else that's considered a luxury suburb community.
