Ha ha, why dont I see Akron,Oh in that list?:shrugs:

[WarBeast]

Phhht! Overland Parl KS, my ass! I lived there and it sucked.... you couldn't buy beer on Sundays.... couldn't buy real booze in a grocery store (just 3/2 beer)... and the taxes were up the ass... That's why I moved to Lee's Summit Mo... far better place to live. Less expensive with plentiful sources of liquor and the schools are better.

Fuck, Lee's Summit is 79? Shawnee scored higher? Shawnee is a shithole!

I guess it must be the job thing... There are more jobs in Johnson County KS, but anyone who is smart may work in JC, but they live in Lee's Summit.

[woodenheart]

my town has no liquor at all, you have to take a ride and go to the next burb...hey, a cold beer sounds pretty good right now.:nod:

[deathslasher666]

:mhehe: Charleston, SC is on there for worst. That's where I was born :mhehe:.

[woodenheart]

:mhehe: Charleston, SC is on there for worst. That's where I was born :mhehe:.

I love Charleston, I got family there.

[Wrathborne]

Oakland, the butthole of california....Hate that place:thumbsdown:

[woodenheart]

Wow California, sounds dreamy....I would love to drive the whole coast

[Wrathborne]

stay away from oakland Kiddo. it really is a pile of shit surrounded by buildings. I miss CA, Oregon sucks.

[IKickAssForTheLord]

:mhehe: Charleston, SC is on there for worst. That's where I was born :mhehe:.

been there before, after I was done wit bootcamp we got dropped off there to take a bus back to where-ever we lived well the bus was runnin' kinda late so a couple of us went across the street to a store to get some booze (some dude wit us was 21) anyways nice big glass infront of the clerk haha, I was like oooh shit.

[R ę Đ Þ å Ŧ Ĥ]

Not what I expected the order to be nonetheless a good list.

[Gatsu18]

Naperville? I live by that place and hate it lots. Traffic sucks all kinda of unmentionables.

wow Gatsu....I live the next town over......oOOooo spooky

[Gatsu18]

wow Gatsu....I live the next town over......oOOooo spooky

I live a little more than a town over. I currently have an appartment in morris so it's a drive. You're not gonna stalk me are you? I mean it's cool by me if you do, but all my other stalkers might not approve. They kind of hate competition and fight amongst themselves as it is. Just a little forwarning.

[dr_foreverclear]

i would of thought edina or eden prairie would represent MN, but i guess there is plenty of spendy housing in both cities..

[Knight]

Something tells me a good majority of these places wouldn't even crack the top 1000 of single people who want a variety of things to do.

Seems more like a list of top places to go and raise kids.

[xxsic4slipknotxx]

Trenton, NJ is #15 for the worst. Work there during the day, awful dirty city and I only live 15 mins West from there. :ahheh:

It could be worse though, I could have lived near Camden, NJ (#4 worst). As much as I may grip about Philly, Camden is much worse than it's neighbor, Philadelphia. :nod:

[Joker]

My parents live in Plymouth,right on Medicine Lake,it's nice,but just like every other place in this state......it's far too cold in the winter.

[toxicangel19]

Chattanooga,tn got a good rating fr somethin there fun stuff to do there but traffic sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! there are lots of affordable places to live there and in my town cleveland as well :nod:

[Slayer]

woot I live in the number 8th best city!

[realizm]

there is nothing affordable about irvine :dsp:

[Late For Reality]

88 Fargo, ND 90,000
97 Bismarck, ND 58,300

HOLLA!

[Luris Blear]

DC is the #5 least safe city in the world.

...

Denton TX at the 57th best place. I sometimes wish I could actually move there. It's not such a bad place once you figure out that the turn signal is viewed as a sign of weakness in those parts.

[Dr. Awesome]

I currently live in the 9th dangerous city :straightface:

[dead breed]

Best place to live....Canada...NL Canada that is :bigthumbup:

F everywhere else :D

[skybrick]

Minnesota represents well.

[Grendel]

Amherst in the safest and Detroit is the most dangerous.Don't know about that...

We're no great shakes, but I'm wondering how they make that determination.

[koolmike]

Maybe the amount of arrests and types of crimes.

[GruesomeDuece]

Number 16? That's it for Jackson, MS? We have a crooked mayor that can't stay out of jail, murders and drive-bys out the ass, drugs run rampant, and the cops are shit. Can't believe it's not worse than that.

Thank god I got outta there fast.

[Driden]

Fremont cool I used to live there. Oakland is horrible my god, I don't even want to drive passed it lol. To think I was born there

[Grendel]

Maybe the amount of arrests and types of crimes."The rankings (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 5 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.) are based on a city's rate for six crime categories: murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, and motor vehicle theft."

[koolmike]

Oh...IC
