Chicago makes list of Forbes’ most-miserable cities

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:
According to Forbes.com, Chicagoans live in the fourth-most godforsaken city in America. But things could be even worse. Detroit topped the 2013 list of America’s Most Miserable Cities. Here’s what Forbes has to say about us: “Chicago residents must endure long commutes [31 minutes on average], plummeting home prices [37% in the past five years], brutal winters and high foreclosure rates [3.3% of homes in 2012 says RealtyTrac]. Many residents are giving up on the Windy City with a net migration out of the city of 107,000 people the past five years, according to Moody’s Analytics.”
The great moments of Blue America.
