Metro Baton Rouge will have more people living off of the government than not by the time I die. IF changes aren't made soon, it will be too late to fix it.

It’s already too late to fix it. The crime , the traffic, the public school system, lack of growing industries.

Of the best, I wouldn't move to Seattle, SF or DC.

Seattle’s downtown is much better now than it was two years ago. 1 in 14 Seattle residents is a millionaire. Salaries are also high. Seattle has crime, but the rate of violent crime, especially gun violence, is way lower than most cities. Same with San Francisco. Homelessness is concentrated- not city-wide.

Genuinely curious why you think that.

Crime rates are abhorrent and the murder rates are in the top 5 nationally. Less homeless people than Seattle but way more dangerous. The downtown area is basically situated in the middle of the hood. Almost half of the population lives off government assistance/welfare/Medicaid


I agree, blacks are the biggest difference between Seattle and Baton Rouge.

I don't think you could be more biased. Sure bigger cities might be able to provide more BUT cost of living can be a witch in certain states

I feel like the people that put these lists together just call all the cities and shake them down for high ranks. San Fran being top 5 for a college grad is insane. Boise being bottom 10 is insaner.
