I didn't bother to read into the details, but the graphics on that thing are terrible. The ones with the worst ranking get the biggest bubbles on the map, when it should be the other way around. Unless they want to rename it "Worst Big Cities to live in".

Oh man you’re not kidding, it’s absolutely horrible. As far as the list goes, I’d take #5 & #6, San Diego and Honolulu, as my top two.
