I have been to Detroit a few times, never again. It was full of zombie people, hagglers, and everyone that walked in the door had a country song to tell you. It was so depressing being there.
Cleveland is starting to get that way, I used to go monthly now I haven't been back in a long time.

I was going to ask the same question. I would think Buffalo would be at the top of that list.

We can look at some of the criteria used:

unemployment rate
commuting time
violent crime rate
changes in home prices
foreclosure rate
property tax
net migration

Buffalo fares poorly in some of the criteria but does OK in others.

question: Did they only stick to the city proper or the metro area when tabulating results?

According to the Forbes article, the cities refer to the metropolitan areas as defined by the Office of Management and Budget. The minimum population to be eligible was 259,000. It appears that "Buffalo" includes all of Erie County and Niagara County

Jul 16, 2012 – Conservatives tend to be just plain happier people than liberals are. That's seriously bad news for the left.

Chicago? I'll take some of that misery any time.

One of the world's great cities.

What Toronto dreams of being.

And Lake County, IL?

Yeah, Michael Jordan is miserable in Highland Park.

And all those poor bastards in Kenilworth.
