So is this old forbes miserable rankings article just going to pop up on every media outlet randomly throughout the year? The original story from forbes is almost a month old. Subsequently, the article has been posted on this site five times, and has been featured on yahoo, msn, obviously forbes, and im sure many others. Which site will it be on next? www.DetroitArmy.com | ||

Just a damn shame you cant live safely where you would like. Hope something happens to turn it around. I would love to come home to live, but do I really want to go through what I went through before? As much as I love and miss detroit, I could never put myself through it again! :-( | ||

Sorry Lheartted, I didnt mean anything bad by that statement. I just stay so home sick and stories like this just piss me off, and I know they do you guys. Man I wish there was something we could all do. I do sincerly appologize. I didnt mean it in a bad way. Dont worry, it gets beat over my head every time I tell where Im from too. I STAND UP as much as I can and try not to be negative when I do get the chance to discuss home. Sorry if you took it wrong, I certainly didnt mean it that way. Also didnt know this was an old article. | ||

Don't be a crybaby. I'm sure that there are plenty of people on here who were miserable after they came home to a robbed house in Detroit. How many have been robbed at gun point? That can make you pretty miserable and nothing to be ashamed about. If you live in an urban area, it comes with the territory. Just don't complain when people leave Detroit because they don't want to put up with it. | ||

This study assumes that happiness and misery are correlated with some very focused factors like commute and taxes. There is no proof that taxes correlates to happiness. In fact, a ranking of the most happy countries puts Denmark at the top. Denmark also has one of the highest income tax rates. So if Forbes were to make any correlation with happiness and taxes, one would assume that high taxes leads to happiness. I suspect that there is no correlation in any direction but Forbes took the liberty of making such a false correlation for us. | ||

Remember just a few months ago when the NY Times rated Detroit as one of the best places to visit? Which is it, media? Who are your puppets today? | ||

Remember just a few months ago when the NY Times rated Detroit as one of the best places to visit? Which is it, media? Who are your puppets today? As Chuckles noted, Philly and NYC also are in the top five. The list is not a "this place sucks" list. It's a list of the places that are miserable to live. My guess? Suburbanites' time spent commuting and being stuck in traffic jams helped. Remember, just like suburbanites, many news media outlets consider Detroit to include more than the city. | ||

Everyone is making Detroit and other U.S. Cities miserable because of the too much black presence in its neighborhoods. It's people's way of oppressing the black race once they fully populate any city or community. | ||
Trainman Member Username: Trainman Post Number: 646 Registered: 04-2006 |
Danny, It's our leaders in Lansing and yes I can mention name's. They must be voted OUT and some of them are black. The one's who are black are oreo's. They are white on the inside because they represent wealth and NOT the common working black church going family struggling to raise children and teach good values. I truly believe we can make Detroit a World class city again but only if we vote in good moral leaders in Lansing first because only then will the working class black family have a chance to live in Detroit and have a level playing field with the whites outside of Wayne County and the city of Detroit. Check out my updated website and debate me on television or get our leaders to do this. You see Danny, these people know who they are and they do not want your vote because the wealthy people they represent just do not care about Detroit. So, get them outed. | ||

Detroit also ranked the worst city for women and the worst to raise kids. At least NYC and Philly have pockets and options of "great" (if you have money...Detroit has nothing even if your loaded. If you were a multi millionair and were forced to live in the city where would you live? Kids and school? | ||
