Recently Read #8

Recently, I read an article on Aol.com, about the top places people DONT want to live in the U.S. Chicago was the first one- the winters are too cold, and only 8 percent of workers want to move there. The next city was New Orleans- since hurricane Katrina, the murder rate has increased,tourism has suffered, and the population has decreased. Next was Los Angeles- it's exciting, but traffic clogged, polluted, and expensive. Detroit's top two negative attributes were image and health/safety. The last unwanted place to live was New York City- the sky-high rates for small apartments, and long crowded commutes were some negatives shown in the article. I thought this article was interesting because you would think that a lot of these cities were popular and people want to live in them.
