I’m surprised Sandy Springs, GA did not make the list.

[Trapped Behind Enemy Lines]

Surprised Chicago wasn’t on the worst of the worst list.

L.A., where I live, has deteriorated massively in recent years. Used to have the finest big city police department in the nation. But the liberals have ruined it, just like they ruin every organization they take control of.

sorry, wrong again...

miami is not the worst...it is detriot, and here is why... detroit is headed for an emergency financial manager, it is so broke it cannot pay attention, it has a city clowncil that cannot even agree to turn on the streetlights, more ambulances broken then running, hell, a body lay in a field less than 100’ from a POLICE STATION for almost a week....and a reporter from a local news station even told them about it...criminals surrendering at a fire station because the police would not arrest him ( murder ) and it still took 5 hours for a car to arrive and place him under arrest... keep in mind he TRIED to surrender to police...

detoilet has no money, no credit, poor morale on the police, fire and ambulance forces, and is soooo deep in debt it will not get out of it in my lifetime..

and this does not include a city clowncil that screams “RACISM” everytime someone tries to help them.. just read about the recent belle isle proposal, and you will know all you need to know..

Miami, hell...

WE’RE NUMBER ONE...

Detroit, where the weak are killed and eaten..

[Yo-Yo]

Detroit is number two? C’mon, Motor City, try harder!

Ha. What a load of crap. If they moved Virginia Beach (VB) to the Eastern Shore of Virginia you know they are about a clueless as a post turtle. VB is in the Tidewater portion of Virginia, not Eastern Shore. It’s called attention to detail and having someone check your facts.

9. Chandler, Ariz.
> Violent crime per 1,000 people: 2.86 (14th lowest)
> Poverty rate: 8.2% (6th lowest)
> Adult population graduated from high school: 91.5% (13th highest)
> Credit rating: Aaa (stable outlook)
> Population: 236,775

Chandler is one of the newest large cities in the U.S. The city was incorporated in 1951, but the population did not truly expand until very recently. In 1980, Chandler, which is located within the greater Phoenix metropolitan area, had a population of 30,000. Now, it has a population of 247,000. There are countless examples of cities that experienced this level of growth, but few, especially in the Southwest, that maintained a healthy economy through the recession. And despite home values dropping precipitously in the city, like the rest of the Phoenix region, Chandler managed to maintain a healthy economy. In 2010, the city had the ninth-lowest unemployment rate among the largest cities, and the sixth-lowest poverty rate. Chandler has been assigned a perfect Aaa stable rating by Moody’s. The credit rating agency justified the rating: “The stable credit outlook reflects Moody’s expectation that management will continue to maintain favorable financial operations and strong reserve levels despite ongoing economic weakness.”
