"Most Livable" my ass!

There is something wrong with the un-named London-based industry analyst group that have declared that the 2 most livable cities in the US are Cleveland, Ohio and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

SWEET BABY JESUS!!!!…. MOTHER OF GOD AND ALL THAT IS HOLY!!!!!!!, HOW ON EARTH DID YOU COME UP WITH CLEVELAND, OHIO AS THE “MOST LIVABLE CITY” IN THE US?!?!?! ONLY TO BE FOLLOWED CLOSELY BY PITTSBURGH?!?!?!?!

I honestly cannot think of more armpittish areas to live in. Seriously, Cleveland and Pittsburgh are the smelly armpits of America. Don’t get me wrong, there are worst places in the US, just like there are worse places on the body than the armpit. Hell, Pittsburgh’s nickname is Pitt. Driving in both cities is like being in one gigantic high school parking lot where right-of-way is determined not by rules of the road, but concern for one’s own well-being. Cleveland’s job base is migrating ever southward to the city’s outerbelt, and the last time I was in the Pitt, I was stunned by the lack of employment centers. What factors were taken into account for this “study?” I need more information than some no-named company in the UK rated Cleveland the most livable in the US.

Did the aesthetics of skree piles on the Cuyahoga river bump Cleveland ahead of Pitt? Because I am sure that the coal soot found on all the buildings in Pitt kind of offset the lack of gravel slag. Okay, maybe their analysis weighed industrial blight heavily in the positives column, and low crime rates in the negative column. Poor snow removal and bad drivers are also a plus, it seems. Horrid transportation systems seemed to factor heavily in the positive column as well. Oh…. My…. Lord! What the Hell?!?! Cleveland and Pittsburgh running a close 1 and 2? I am stunned. Just plain stunned.


To Recap
Cleveland Sucks! I don’t care what any “London-based industry analysts” say
So does Pittsburgh, I am just more familiar with Cleveland

One can hope
“Most Livable” my ass
