OMG! who comes up with this stuff??! lol probly someone who doesn't live in Detroit smh
Haha, maybe. But, waking up every morning, looking out your window, and seeing the house across the street crumbling, and the house next door being used as a gang hangout, that could be really stressful for some people.
Location: Detroit's eastside, downtown Detroit in near future!

no gangs in Detroit. The housing situation I can understand but I'm starting to think the people who come up with this stuff just throws Detroit up there because they know no one is going to say different
These lists are stupid. Who is to say that these factors make an entire city stressed out? High crime? Most of the time high crime is concentrated to specific areas and is easy to avoid. Pollution? While not good for the environment, does not cause stress.
I am not surprised at all that Los Angeles is as high on this list as it is. When you combine ridiculously overpriced housing with the traffic situation it is easy to see why people would be stressed out. Sunny weather can't relieve stress IMO no matter what people may say.

I wasn't aware there's no gangs there. Kinda makes me feel safer about moving down there. Are you IN the city of Detroit, detroitlove?
