Huntington Beach:
Clueless tourists
Drunk Tourists
Too many republicans
Older Sound walls that enclose many neighborhoods (that are not well maintained and/or have been added onto/modified by "Handymen")
1 Cubs fans who act drunk and stupid
2 Cubs fans from the Suburbs who think acting drunk and stupid is what real fans do
3 Cubs fans from Iowa who act drunk and stupid (in all fairness they usually don't)
4 No food trucks
5 I get too pale-ale in winter
6 Hawks lost
7 Bulls lost
8 Hipsters
9 Nutty lifeguards at the beach in rowboats
10 Flashmobs, critical mass, mob beat downs, etc.
Southern Indiana, Louisville, KY metro area: (Likely moving in a few more months)
1) People that are extremely set in their ways.
2) The lack of any change and innovative thinking
3) The severely low level of educational attainment, considering it is a metropolitan area.
4) What do these people learn in schools???
5) The lack of planning.
6) A mostly structurally obsolete economy that has not fully moved beyond the industrial age.
7) Extremely high levels of obesity, very high smoking rate, and high levels of depression
8) The prevalence of chain restaurants.
9) Horrible air quality and way too much litter everywhere.
10) The clannish cliqueish mentalities of way too many people.
1. Winter weather (cold, snow, grey, a mess)
2. Winter days (too short)
3. Too boring (and I live in one of the most liveliest cities in the state)
4. Not very diverse
5. No major sports team (either root for NY or Massachusetts teams)
1) Crime rate. No, it is not the same as other cities of its size -- it is proportionally worse.
2) Air quality - one of the WORST in the nation.
3) Very few decent restaurants. Almost non-existent.
4) It is a cow-town with regards to cultural amenities. Downtown more or less closes down after state workers go home.
5) Traffic.
6) Sacramento Bee. A paper that once was good and now is one step above the National Enquirer in quality.
7) Crowded. Infrastructure not built for this size population.
8) Constant, seemingly unnecessary roadwork. Which, oddly enough, just leaves the roads more messy when they are done and without any apparent improvements.

This is true! Very true.
Except for the fact that Cincinnati's economy is somewhat more diversified, this list could also apply to Cincinnati.
I love where I live to just say (Pittsburgh) but here's what I've come up with.
1. Too many old people outside of certain areas.
2. Large amount of bumps and pot holes on the road because PennDOT uses some strange mixture in the winter to save money.
3. The narrow-mindedness of many people.
4. The yinzers who do nothing but complain about the area but once you talk to them, you realize they have never gone more than 50 miles outside of Allegheny County.
5. People who complain about the lack of diversity in Pittsburgh.
6. For the past month, gas prices in the city have been a lot higher than in the suburbs.
7. The haze during the summer.
8. Giant Eagle has too much of a monopoly with supermarkets here.
9. Needless large retail developments that start failing a year after opening in the suburbs because there are enough already and new ones aren't needed in an area without high population growth.
10. People who move from Seattle and Portland and complain how Pittsburgh isn't like the two other cities.
1. Close-minded nature: LI is unique in it that it's a more self-sufficient suburb and a huge percentage of ppl that live here work here as well. Since there's a large amt. of people staying in the suburbs and not going into the city, it creates a skewed perception of the world and I find a lot of people here to living proof of that, especially ones that live in the more eastern parts of the island.
2. High Cost of Living: The two counties that make up most of suburban LI have EXTREMELY high cost of livings. Taxes are through the roof, a county on LI ranked number one in the country for property taxes. To get a decent house in a decent neighborhood will cost you at least $300,000 (and thats if you get lucky and get a good deal).
3. Lack of Public Transportation: The Bus service on the Island is horrific. You MUST have a car if you live on Long Island for the exception of a 1-3 'villages' where you may get away with not having one. The LIRR(LI railroad) is convenient if you want to go into the city but it could be pricey if you work out there and have to take it twice daily.
4. Nosy Neighbors: It's so boring in the suburbs that a lot of people rush to their window when you come home with groceries or if you walk past their house, they're in the window. People could flip out if a tree is .0005 centimeters over their property line. But this is with all suburbs...
5. Lack of Housing for Younger People: There are not that many legal apartments on the island to begin with but much of those seem to be Senior 55+ housing, so a lot of the young-adults don't have many options to housing (unless they wanna live at mommy and daddy's for the rest of their life) and are forced off the island to live independent.
Those are really all of my dislikes. Anything else I name would pretty much just be knit-picking.
