KC does have high taxes and lots of violent crime. St. Louis has a crime problem that exceeds that of Kansas City. And most definitely the cities in Ohio are falling apart ever since manufacturing closed down. Youngstown has entire blocks of vacant or razed buildings that has resulted in vacant city blocks.
The crime in Saint Louis is more is generally isolated to areas where normal people wouldn't want to be in the first place.
Correct. I don't generally think of St. Louis as an unsafe city; only that its bad areas are worse than most. It's certainly not pervasive throughout the entire city.
the problem with using something like crime as a criteria is that in any decent sized city, most of the crime is specific to certain neighborhoods. You don't have to worry about the violent crime in most parts of the city.
What a silly list. I'm not a Forbes subscriber, but have read their mag in the past. I had no idea the featured such fluff. I'm not opposed to lists, but this one is too inexplicatbe to be credible.
