"6 Portland-Vancouver, OR-WA"
HA! I knew it.
Hm my Milwaukee is 46. That's about right. And they are dead on with STL- gosh i hated living there. I'd push it way up there!
These things are stupid.
Tucson's 30?! Are they drunk?! This is manana city. Most mellow place I've ever been in.
Get red and get happy.
Just for fun I punched in LA and Chicago.
Among all the REGULAR SHOULD BE THERE stats...at the bottom of the list is Starbucks. How many Starbucks there are.
HA!
I live in the outskirts of Tacoma (for another 3 weeks - we're moving 10 miles east to a condo).....there is downtown Tacoma, and then there are the outskirts of Tacoma.....BIG Differences!
I wouldn't have anything to do with any of them.
My old home town, Rochester, is at 89. It was a very low-stress city.
Atlanta, my current town, is 43. A little more stressful, but the jobs are here, and it's certainly manageable.
Chicago, a place I was at for 2 years and a few months, was in the 20's. Yes, it was stressful as heck there.
As far as I'm concerned, a city is to be visited, but never lived in.
Washington state 1, 6 and 11. I got to get out of here!
Akron, OH at number 74. Wonder what criteria were used?
WTF??? Kansas City is more stressful to live in than LA, SF or Chicago?? Give me a frigging break!!
This ranking system is WORTHLESS......
Baghdad...
Fallujah...
Ramadi...
By any of those criteria, I'd THINK they'd qualify...

Hey, there are FReepers who live here!
And it can be kind of stressful sometimes...
Wrong, Arlington, Texas has to be the most stressful city in the USofA. We were bombed long before Sept. 11th.=o)
