Forbes names Chicago the country's most stressful city

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:

Forbes magazine recently named Chicago the country's most stressful place to live in the United States.

According to Forbes.com: "With 7.3% unemployment and a gallon of gas going for just under four bucks, the Windy City has some economic headwinds that result in a perfect storm for stress. Chi-town’s pollution problems (it ranked No. 7 in terms poor air quality) and lack of breathing room (it's No. 2 in terms of population density) couple to create a Midwestern Molotov cocktail of stress."

To arrive at this conclusion, Forbes took a look at quality of life indicators in the country's 40 largest cities: affordable housing, unemployment rates, gas prices and air quality.

No wonder Chicago has lost more people than even Detroit since the year 2000,according to U.S. Census Bureau estimates.No word yet from the Obama campaign on fighting for "change" in Chicago.
