Its not DC or Arlington that kills it for me (govt gigs, nightlife, I get it).

But Virginia Beach? Really? America's best cities?

Credibility gone.

Virginia beach is not a city. it's a sprawl of shopping centers and highways.

We all know how irrelevant these lists are and their only purpose is to attract attention to the pubisher adverts on their website

One of the worst vacations of my life, so much traffic, terrible beaches, just a waste of a weekend. Plus, to not even have NYC on there, even if it's not for everyone, just shows what a pointless irrelevant article that is. Plus, from what I understand, Hawaii is a nice place to visit, but a terrible place to live

Poverty in DC is the highest of any American City.
