These lists always crack me up. They seem to change every year without much rhyme or reason. NYC as a worst city – I think most of the world (other than my wife) would disagree with that. Chicago, another great city I hear. Although the weather would prevent me from every living there. Los Angeles!? I don’t think many would mind living in Malibu or Santa Monica.
