I live in the 5th most depressed city in the USA, just across the Bay from the 3rd most depressed city. Hooray! or should I say... boohoohoooooooo.......

 

whoo hoo number 6, i thought for sure it would have been number 1

 

Well I don't live in any of the exact cities, but I live very close to some of them! How exciting!

 

I live two hours south of a depressed city....

weird that two cities on the coast in florida qualify

in fact there are some pretty nice places to live included there!

 

closest one i live to is indy. and thats an hour and a half drive

 

I used to live in LA and most of the people seemed the opposite of depressed, I'm not sure i can believe that one......some of the people were so perky that they deserved execution

 

it's weird because they are about 20 minutes across the Bay from each other, although in my opinion, Tampa FAR outranks St. Pete in the depression factor. That must make Tampa Bay and West-Central Florida the most depressed metropolitan region in the country. Score!

 

I dont live anywhere near them well except NY.. I think they need to come visit my town and then say is not one of the most depressed

 

1/2 hour east of a depressed city... four hours northwest though 9 months of a year.

Seattle is the number one WHITEST place on Earth

 

Hell, the depression for #6 has spread 50 miles north to me....can't believe Portland is depressing, though...and Salt Lake City?

 

Portland is well known for being depressing...its gray and rainy almost all of the time

and Salt Lake City..being around those perky mormons and drinking low alcohol beer is enough to make most people depressed.

 

let's see...Cleveland to the north, Pittsburgh to the east, Indy to the west....I'm thinking Columbus is depressed too...

depression has nothing to do with where you live. It has to do with you! I guess boo hoos have moved in packs now? What a stupid survey. Some college student has wasted fine money that his or her parents forked out for that survey. Peace....

 

My dad lives in St. Louis ...... hmm explains a lot

 

Number two is about forty minutes from me...

Wow...Must be why everyone sucks up here.

 

Best place is Key West in Florida i dont care if your gay or not. But warning is not cheap.

 

I doubt ive seen alot of LA happy people, you must of met the prozac addicts that populate the city, either that or they were probably oblivious to everything around them and didnt care they were living in shit.

Where in LA did you live?

 

I live forty minutes away from the number two depressed city. Explains alot.

 

nice ass for a guy
