Ok I don't know about y'all but I'm tired of people not knowing what they are talking about. Who do they talk to and get this data from must hate Florida. But I can see Miami on the list but not Tampa and Saint Petersburg.

5. Detroit-Livonia-Dearborn, Michigan
4. Jacksonville, Florida
3. Miami-Miami Beach-Kendall, Florida
2. Las Vegas-Paradise, Nevada
1. Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, Florida

You're missing the point that it's from data that includes:

divorce rates
commute times
unemployment rates
violent crime rates
suicide rate
mental health/anti-depressant usage
sleep issues

Based on per capita information (ratio of issues to population) the cities mentioned topped the list. It really isn't rocket science or considered unbelieveable just because you don't see it....

I went down this list out of curiosity just to see how FL stacked up. At first I gave it some merit because it is a CNBC poll. Than when I got to the end it gave you a choice of numerous other lists and slideshows. Among them were "most popular porn star", "best NFL cheerleading squad" and "best places to go to prison." Needless to say after that I didn't really give this list much credit.

As a matter of fact, there's even more FL cities on the list, if you go to the original article:

News Headlines

Orlando and Ft. Lauderdale are like #6 and #7, so they're not far behind. There's clearly something wrong with Florida. I've only been there once and right off the bat felt a whiff of crime and deviancy about the place (Tampa). Not sure what it is, anybody care to explain?
