Happiest Region/City in America?
13 replies
I see these kinds of things every once in a while, and I have to shake my head and wonder where the Hell the people who did the research got their information. They rank Richmond, VA as the "Happiest City in America", and Charlottesville, VA as the "Happiest Region in America". Well, I live almost exactly halfway between the two, so shouldn't that make my house the happiest F'n place on Earth? :lol:
Seriously, I've lived in and outside of Charlottesville for 10 years now. The people are NOT happy. It is, easily, the most miserable place I've ever spent time in. I basically split the 10 years from 2004-2013 working between Charlottesville and Richmond, and the people in C'Ville are easily the most awful I've ever had to deal with in my life. Angry, cruel even, entitled and miserable. Rich or poor, and very little in between, and they're all mad about it. I tell friends I used to work with (same company) to think of the worst customer that they've had in the past month, and I had to deal with that person 10x a day, every day. Its not just me though, anyone I know who grew up in a working class enviornment and moved to this area feels the exact same way.
If this is the best that there is, I pity everyone else! LOL
I think that this is the third article like this I've seen just this year. Someone in the local area must be stuffing the pockets of the people who write these kinds of things is my only guess.
Hawaii. If you can't be happy living life in Hawaii, then eat a bullet.

Can't beat the scenery, but the real estate is a killer. I don;t know how any middle class person could move there and not be homeless! $300k/yr to rent a one bedroom craphole.

Headcoach material wouldn’t want to work somewhere they’re not trusted with actual football decisions.

Some might suspect that they’re just putting something in the water, but the five happiest cities in America are all in the same state: Louisiana. Those cities are Lafayette, Houma, Shreveport-Bossier City, Baton Rouge, and Alexandria.
The Northeast and one city in the Midwest did not fare too well: Scranton, Erie, and Pittsburgh, PA, Gary, IN, and New York City were found to be the top five unhappiest cities. Nearly all of the unhappiest places in the nation lean heavily Democratic when it comes to voting.
lol
Other “abnormally happy” cities include Charlotte, NC
Sick gives lots of handys.
