here's cleveland.
con
1. urban sprawl - a pet peeve of mine. The city is designed very poorly, and thus, it's the donut hole, with the [a majority of ones, especially the west side] ignorant suburbanites.
[This is a main reason for why my town is home to the highest concentration of poverty in the nation - most of the middle class ditched the city for the suburbs, plus our job market is shams]
2. city is still stuck in 'lets revive the old steel mill' mentality. They can't accept the fact that globalization has forced america to become a more service-based economy...Thus, our economy doesn't go anywhere, as they're trying to revive something that's been dead for quite some time.
3. city nixed its recycling program last year due to budget cuts
pros
1. Really good art museums, orchestra, etc; music venues.
[though the only good indie movie theaters are on the east side, grr...]
2. almost anything else.
3. quite culturally diverse, somewhat. [west side market..]
