How did Rockford, Illinois NOT make the list?

Such a crap list. The bigger the city, the worse it is. Suburbs to big cities are not good. Cities on the border are not good.

I’ll just take one, Texarkana, TX. No a problem, decent place to live, much better than any of the top 50 cities.

These lists are like a shotgun shooting shells of bs.

Rockford is really nice, comparatively. Just that close to downtown part, but it’s small. All around Rockford is middle America, good people.

I know, as I lived there for 15 years. West State Street well past downtown is also a problem.

Rockford always made the lists as overall crime is high, and the unemployment rate is VERY high. (17% when I had to leave due to my company going bankrupt and moving, TAN Books).

St. Mary Oratory is a treasure. The fumes left over from a formerly dynamic industrial city are still visible in spots (e.g. Nicholson Hardware).

It IS affordable (except for the Illinois property taxes).

Savannah, Tennessee suffers from being far from a major thoroughfare. It is a small town on the Tennessee river near the intersection of Tennessee, Alabama, and Mississippi borders.

Yes, everywhere is awful and we are all going to die.

You’re a regular ray of sunshine.

I suppose it's more miserable this year because of the way the Razorbacks are playing.

Problem with the list is the cities I know on the list are not as bad as they claim. You cam make any city sound bad.

Seems like Dearborn, Michigan should be there for those who long for adventures in the darkest jungles.

The Jersey cities are even worse than described.

They have to be seen to be believed—but only do it during daylight hours!

Some of these distressed cities are not listed because of crime or economic problems. Irving, Texas, and Jacksonville, Florida are listed simply because they are deficient on parks, and San Jose, California, is listed because of smog. I'm sure that the remaining residents of Gary and Hammond, Indiana would like the return of the smog from the shuttered steel mills.

The deindustrialization of America is one major cause of the distress of the listed cities in the formerly industrial North. The second issue is high crime, the result of lenient or nonexistent punishment for crime, compounded by underfunded and demoralized police forces. No officer wants to be the next Derek Chauvin.

I’ve flown and had to change planes in Newark IIRC, twice.

Never again.

Jacksonville and Fort Pierce should not be on the list in Florida. I mean lack of parks in Jacksonville’s case? Big deal.
