Welcome to Misery
Or welcome to Detroit as the most miserable city to reside in. Followed by Stockton, CA, Flint, MI, NYC and Philidelphia. Los Angelese ranked 7th.... I just love it.

I lived in Detroit for 3 years, and I wasn't miserable.
Of course I wasn't sober very much when I lived there either.... |

It's great if you're a drug dealer.
Or a pimp.

In cities like that you probably have to do multiple jobs to make a go of it, diversification if you will. Drug Dealer / Pimp would work well, perhaps sell Avon or Tupperwear on the side as well.

Things are rough in Flint. I have been here 20 years and it has been this way the whole time.

I effing HATE Detroit! No amount of money would entice me to live there. I truly can barely stand to drive thru the place.

Interesting - my boss is from Flint originally and tells me stories of how the place was in the 1960s and 1970s - it was a model community. Pride of urban planning, all great working-class community for the (then) booming U.S. automakers and the folks that worked for them, etc. It's an absolute schithole now - very interesting how an area can go from boom to bust in such a short time (on a social scale). It's a real-world textbook example of urban blight and decay, and I remember it being discussed (along with places like Pittsburgh, Gary Indiana, south side Chicago, etc.) as places in dire need of new ideas in one of my urban planning courses.
Very interesting. Sad, but interesting.

Tabs - what does it say about a person when they delight in the suffering of others? Or am I misreading this?

My brother moved to California probably ten years ago after growing up in the midwest. I fear his transformation is nearing completion as I just found out he and his wife traded their SUV in for a Prius. The horror! When he comes back for a visit, I will have to knock some sense into him.
