  1. Hmmm, what about Atlanta, Seattle, Baltimore, Los Angeles, Portland, and Chicago…. I bet New Orleans would be in the top 25…

    1. Yes, probably all of them — Seattle, yes; Chicago, yes; Milwaukee, yes; Portland, yes; and more.

  2. They left out a few, like Seattle, Washington; Portland, Oregon; Madison, Wisconsin; and a few more, if I had time. I know, because I have lived there or have family there.

  3. Democrats run these cities what do you expect. What a shame. Paterson NJ is bad Philadelphia is bad Kenly NC where the entire police force resigned. The police are good the governors are a disgrace and mayors. E need help. Get rid of all democrats

  4. Ha Ha Ha Ha !!! The poorest, most backward, run down, poorly educated states, the ones with the highest rates of unemployment, poverty, drug abuse , high school dropouts, teenage pregnancy, abortions, lowest rates of college graduates etc , are all down south and run by the Republican party !

  5. I too am surprised that Chicago was not listed. More importantly though I evidently missed what the judging criteria was and the reasons each city ranked as they did.
