Breitbart: The city of Gary, Indiana, was ranked the most “miserable” place to live on a list of the 50 most miserable cities in America, according to a report from Business Insider.
Business Insider ranked Gary, Indiana— just outside of Chicago— as the most miserable city followed by Port Arthur, Texas, and Detroit, Michigan.
The publication said it relied on U.S. Census data— specifically statistics on crime, population changes, drug addiction, job opportunities, household incomes, abandoned homes, and how likely a city would face problems with natural disasters.
The outlet said that what all “miserable” U.S. cities had in common were “few opportunities, devastation from natural disasters, high crime and addiction rates, and often many abandoned houses.”
For example, Gary has one of the highest crime rates in America. Statistics show that the odds of becoming a victim of violent or property crime is one out of 25 in Gary, according to crime rate tracker Neighborhood Scout.
The city was also known for selling a handful of homes for $1 back in January to reverse the decades of blight that had plagued the city.
Many cities in California and New Jersey were the states that made up the remainder of the list, with ten in California and nine in New Jersey.
The ten California cities made a strong showing on the list:
Grew up in Portage, a handful of miles away. Dad worked at US Steel. It really seems a magical place and time to grow up, looking back. Many freedoms for a kid, but then it was the early 70s. Lots of places would seem magical compared with today.
The list represents showcase cities the left is proud of. This is the ideal they hope to spread further.
I can see why a resident would try to seek higher office and move to the White House.
^^^ Their choices are few: Prison, The New York Times or Washington.

Suburban, Urban, then Turban.
Are they trying to overcome prosperity?
If so, they can’t carry Detroit’s jockstrap
What do most drivers say when going through Gary?
Roll ’em up.
My mom grew up in Gary, and her mom and dad both worked for US Steel. Fortunately they got out in the mid-70s after retiring.
Dan, that was just in time. Dad packed us up and moved us south in ’78 and that was almost too late.
Well, when your mayor is a buttplug… 😳
All Democrat, with Obama-wannabes running them. This was obama’s dream for America. It’s now pelosi’s.
I dunno.
If I had a vote, I would vote Washington D.C. as just the most miserable city.
San Bernardino was a wonderful place to grow up. An hours drive to the beach and desert, 30 minutes to the mountains. Very few minorities causing trouble in school, just the opposite of now.
Why can’t the kids there just join a marching band?
