Read the article. It based off commute times and taxes.

True.

For the record, President Obama has spent time in Honolulu, Jakarta, Seattle, Eagle Rock(Los Angeles), Morningside Heights(NYC), Cambridge, MA, Chicago, Springfield, IL, and Washington D.C.

Notably missing from this list in Kenya, which will no doubt irritate our resident birthers.

Which ignores virtually everything about what makes a city good or not. Talk about a myopic fluff piece exactly what people have come to expect from a partisan magazine like Forbes.

Don't see any of your list included. Talk about twisting facts. BTW..anyone that uses "tard" as a suffix is usually wrong on most issues.
The OP said themes.

They never claimed these themes were used to make the list.

The list is red meat for stupid people, the magazine and the author of the list both know this.
Yet Chicago has one the highest out-migration rates in the country.

Cities don't lose residents because it's such a wonderful place to live.

I went to school in Flint and spent time in Detroit for work, it's hard to argue that they are holes. I only spend a bit of time in Chicago, but is sucks bad even to drive through, toll booths every 3 miles. I'm surprised that Buffalo isn't on the list.

Er, actually Chicago has experienced a growth in the past two years.

Also, if I were you I would be more concerned about Ohio cities: Cleveland, Cincinnati, Akron, Toledo and Youngstown aren't exactly thriving
But - you know - Ohio rules

Of course, anyone who actually has job skills immediately gets the hell out of those yokel land.
Yep. Warren, MI wouldn't fall under the "liberal" camp either. They're a suburb. They have a Republican mayor. I'd say they're more moderate than anything.

Out-migration does not mean loss of population. If it did I woulda said they lost population.

And those Ohio cities are doing pretty well, considering we're dealing with President Obama's economy and all. Thanks for your concern though.

Any list that puts Chicago and New York behind long-depressed, stripped big towns like Gary IN and Youngstown OH can't have any credibility.

Although I think we have to admit that Chicago is losing alot of ground to DC, LA, Seattle, San Fran, Boston, Portland, etal., not close to being our 2nd city anymore.
