San Jose, CA (men's health's top 10 healthiest city for like 3 years running)
1) some of the worst polution outside of L.A.
2) traffic that makes a heart attack 3 times more likely (according to a medical report)
3) the club life is really dying down

Weslaco (area)

1.DWT's (damn winter texans)
2.Illegals coming thru.
3.Political graft.

Portland, Michigan. Population: 3,789.

Three Negative Things:
1) There isn't a Starbucks closer than 20 miles away
2) There's nowhere to swim in the summer
3) No curbside recycling :(

Three Positive Things:
1) Awesome public school system
2) Virtually NO crime whatsoever
3) Nice people :thumbsup:

S.E. Alabama:

1. Humidity
2. It never snows
3. August

Phoenix

1. Ever been here in June, July, or August. If so, then you know about the heat. (But hey, it's a dry heat, just like an oven.)
2. Dust storms
3. It takes about an hour and a half to get from one end of the city to the other, and that's when the traffic is good.

it's in new jersey
real estate taxes keep going up
it's too close to new york. I really, really hate new york.

It's too small
only one reasonable club
no overnight 24 hours liquor store >_<

but we have the chattahochee, unless its changed its a pretty big river... and for the coast... Savannah is only 3 1/2 hours away and St.Simons and Jekyll are only about 5 1/2

You're right about not much to do....gotto get into the metro area for the fun things....

Dublin in Little Ol' Ireland.
1) Probably the worst traffic in the whole of Europe.
2) The second most expensive city in Europe now (for food, drink, hotels etc)
3) Pretty crap weather (just have to spend all day in the pub :) )

Dallas Tx

1. Traffic, traffic, traffic
2. Home of the Dallas Cowboys
3. High rate of violent crime

Cheltenham (UK)
1.) Middle-class drinking hole.
2.) During 'Race-week' (horse racing) the town swells by 2/3rds it's size, full of drunken Irish gamblers (no offence FatherTed).
3.) All this drinking and yet no decent clubs?

Düsseldorf, Germany:

1. Way too much rich and arrogant assholes (heard of "Königsallee"?)
2. too much yuppies
3. beer is way too expensive in the oldtown

nevertheless, quite a nice town...

Flint, MI

1. General Motors left taking our entire tax base with them\

2. The city council let GM leave and didn't replace the tax base. Now we have so much fighting within city council and the mayor's office, it's making us look like a joke. The state took over last year and ran our finances and now the idiots in this city elected a former criminal to the mayor's office.

3. Everyone associates us with Michael Moore




The good thing is I don't actually live in Flint. I live just outside of it where there is great economical growth and plenty of nice places to live. Despite the fact Flint is a shithole, the rest of the county seems to be doing OK.

The bad thing is that I work for the City of Flint.

1. No beer at the grocery stores.
2. State trooper, County and city police all have a station here. (one would think that it would be a good thing...)
3. No one can drive. (I suppose this is true the world over.)

1) There isn't a Denny's.

2) There isn't any good stage theatre.

3) College students drive too damn fast.

LOL :D :D
None taken !

Town in Iowa

1. Too many drunk wife beating Bosnians
2. Too many wanna be gang bangers
3. Way too many visits by the presidential canidates

Omaha

1. The perception that Omaha is...well...Omaha
2. Too many narrow minded people that go out of their way to perceptualize Omaha's "cow town" image.
3. The freakin' humidity!

And now...3 good things

1. College World Series, baby!
2. World class art and culture base. (who knew, huh?)
3. More restaraunts, per capita, than any other city, in th U.S.

Baltimore:

A major crime problem, associated with a major drug problem.

Democrats run the city.

WAY too close to Washingcrap DC.

philadelphia

1. it is a car city. too many cars. too many stupid people driving those cars. too many stupid people who talk on the cellphones while driving those cars. this from a cyclist viewpoint, of course.
2. it is too close to jersey. the problem must be in the water there. old city, which is never very interesting, is turned into hell on earth every weekend by an invasion of the jerseypeople.
3. spotty music and art scenes. lots of interesting musicians and artists in the city, most of whom only get to perform/show their work in decent venues once they have made a name for themselves outside of the city. no coherent structure for encouraging local artists in any form to move beyond showing/performing for their friends.

good things about philly
1. west philadelphia
2. that there are many interesting musicians/artists in the city
3. that the red sox are in the world series. it makes philadelphia a better place for me.

i can only think of one........

i used to really dig it here until the bastard thieves started their game of fuck a guy over.

I thought about posting that but I thought the Cowboy fans would use their psychic powers and come lynch me.

Dallas TX

1. No decent Mass Transit.
2. Unbearably Hot Summers and no "Real" winters
3. Macho arseholes that try to buy their manhood with a giant, jacked up Truck.

dallas

1. hot
2. horrendous traffic
3. no hills except the overpasses

I have been tempting fate here as a Redskins fan for over a decate so I am used to it. :D

Warsaw, Poland

1) It's gray, oh so gray
2) It's dirty
3) You can get mugged, or you can get your pockets picked

It's changing, though, and fast. It's much better then it used to be, oh, I don't know, 10 years ago.

Victorville/Apple Valley
(In California, "High" Desert)
1. Full of drugs
2. Full of drug addicts
3. Full of old people

Boston:
1. Mit Romney
2. Traffic
3. Big Dig

I will add...

4. Perpetual freeway construction (I like new freeways, I hate having them tear-up existing ones)

5. It is such a new city, without any culture, that any building older than 50 years is considered antique

6. Snowbirds! I hate wondering whether the bluehair in the lincoln driving 45 in the fastlane with her left blinker on is going to notice that she is at her exit and suddenly plow accross all seven lanes of traffic without warning.

And I'm gonna add:

7. Stolen car capital of the U.S. I'd like to keep my new truck, thank you very much.

8. Zoning planning committees that try to move already long established airport runways in multiple cities so they can build their precious houses... when there's still tons of desert around.

9. And Snowbirds again, since it's that big of a problem. Don't complain that AZ isn't like back home: If that's what you want, GO BACK!

Nashville
1: No decent radio stations
2: Country Music (Causes #1)
3: People drive about 3 feet off the bumper of the person in front of them.

I'll add to Chicago.

1. Cabs are a dime a dozen around 11pm. Try finding one at 3 am when you're 30 blocks from home and nowhere near the el.

2. Trying to walk down Michigan Avenue.

3. Trying to ride the red line during a Cubs game.

I completely 100% agree, but I'm also going to add a few more things about the hellhole that is Houston.

4) Polution
5) Fattest City
6) Nothing worthwhile to do, at all
7) A speed bump is considered a hill
8) Oh, did i emphasize how excruciatingly hot and miserable it is here?

I pretty much want to move back to Colorado ASAP ;)

Sydney:

1. the trains officially suck
2. the government are bastards
3. we are running out of water - guess we will have to drink more beer:)

St. Louis:
1. Freezing winters and boiling summers (nice in between the two, though)
2. Highest rate of violent crime (or maybe just murders...)
3. Absolutely, positively NOTHING to do

See I don't think Dallas is that hot save for late July and August.
Most of the year it's pretty nice in my book. Like this week for example. mid 80s in late October with green grass and blue skies is a ok in my book.
It's like we get spring twice a year instead of once like those poor schlubs up north.

The bohemian enclave of Arcata, California:

1) Humboldt State University students spending their parents money makes rent go up and property values go down.

2) The town's desire to keep only local businesses in the city limits prevents me from getting a Taco Bell (though there is one Subway right next to the porno store).

3) Faux-hippy panhandlers that line the Plaza on sunny days, begging for money or offering hash pipes and hemp clothing for sale.

Houston
1. The weather is just plain bad.
2. There is not a hint of a music scene.
3. I still can't get over the Astros losing in the postseason.

100,000 people @ Neyland stadium is awesome, especially when we're playing teams like Florida or Alabama. But yes, the traffic and construction is terrible, as is trying to find parking on campus.

Nashville:

1.) Traffic and Road Construction
2.) My Tennessee Titans suck this year, way too many injuries, thus too many rookies playing.
3.) Country Music

Toronto:

1.) The early morning rush hour crowd on the subway could not be more apathetic. I've never seen a bigger bunch of sad-sacks. They have their faces buried in the morning paper (free newspaper "Metro" which hardly can be called journalism) and you could be a 78 year-old pregnant woman with a cane and not get a seat.

2.) The opposite extreme: people who are too nice (and it makes them stupid). The other day I was right at the bus-stop when the bus pulls up. I'm ready to flash my pass and get on (usually takes all of 4 seconds for me to flash pass, hop on and be at back of bus standing), when I hear this woman behind me: "AHEM!! Man with a cane!?" I turn to see her presenting me with this old guy who, of course, deserves to get a seat. But I was already on the bus!! I wasn't budding in front or anything. She somehow thought that if I got off the bus and behind the old man (who she didn't even know and was five feet behind me anyway), that it would help somehow. Idiot.

3.) Selfish/lazy people who own cars and drive them when we have a very decent transit system. These people go hand-in-hand with those who complain about the cost of transit even though it's 1/4 of the cost of owning a car (still it's hard to part with $100 Cdn. every month, I know).

I guess all of the above are problems I have with PEOPLE. Maybe they should collectively only count as one.
