A quality of life study conducted by the website 24/7 Wall Street formulated a list of the 50 worst cities to live in America, and some commonly referenced shanty towns headline it.

The 50 worst cities list was not kind to the state of Michigan, which contributed two cities to the top 10, and is home to the number one worst city to live in the US: Detroit.

These reporters/analysts are just people who go out to the nearest bar after work and pound them down. They are no better at stats than anyone of us.

I knew Memphis would be in the top 5 and I was right.

Chicago is not on it? The place where the Feds are going to quell the violence?

Criteria seems a bit odd. I haven’t been there but Tuscon doesn’t seem in the same category as simepl like Camden, but then what do I know.

Probably used ridiculous metrics like lack of diversity being a a big negative.

On this list, being “14” is worse than being “42” or “32.”

Number one was Detroit.

It was terribly hurt by mining and oil regulations, greatly increasing unemployment.

You can have Phoenix, we’ll take Scottsdale although we liked it a a whole lot better when we lived there 50 years ago and there were no stoplights, horses had the right-of-way and Pinnacle Peak restaurant was open.

I understand that and agree with Detroit being #1. But Baltimore should definitely be in the top 5.

My granddaughter was in the hospital in New Orleans last week. I can’t stand that rat infested hell hole. New Orleans should be near the top of the list. I was a grad student at UT and I loved living in Knoxville Tennessee.

The people in Lubbock are conservatives. Is that counted as undesirable?

I raised my eyebrows at Miami Beach, too! Of course the Miami Beach I lived and worked in years ago as a nurse, may have changed.

But there are parts of these cities that are beautiful and nice to live in. I’m thinking of Baltimore. What are the criteria used I wonder.

There’s something peculiar with the criteria, because little Gastonia, North Carolina is the only NC city on there, while notably bad Durham is not.

I agree. I live in Raleigh and Durham is a mess with murders and crime! Can't figure what the issue is with Gastonia.

Could be in some circles. Maybe they have an illegal problem. There is a large population of Mexican people there.

I live 30 miles from Detroit. Haven’t been in the city in a decade at least. I’ve been told it’s making a comeback though ??!!

I've been around much of the country and this is a pretty good listing of worst places. Most of the big cities (like New York, Boston, Chicago) are great to live in if you can afford it. Of course some bad areas in all the big cities but generally you can completely avoid the bad areas if you live in the better areas. There are probably lifetime residents of Manhattan who have never set foot in places like Brownsville (Brooklyn) or Hunt's Point (Bronx). I've been to Chicago multiple times and have yet to set foot in the areas that are getting all the shootings.

There are some cities however where you can't escape the awfulness. Waterbury, CT; Lawrence, MA; Camden, NJ are examples of that. I'm surprised Bridgewater, CT wasn't on the list.
