That's why I said "last sentence" since I knew it was yours. My impression was that the study was done in a hurried fashion, and could have been done better, with greater detail. Like D.C., as khalling had asked. I was suprised that it wasn't in the top five. Especially for lust. I don't believe it was accurate enough.

That was all cut and pasted except the first and last sentence..... Or did you just mean you agreed that the list sucked.

I agree with your last sentence. I thought the criteria wasn't detailed enough. I think they could have done better.

Hades the first is Detroit....then Chicago...then DC....wait..maybe DC should be first.

Huh? I was talking about their measuring of sin list:
Other measures the study used:

Envy. Movoto quantified this sin by looking at each community's FBI property-crime rate, which counts how many burglaries, larcenies and car thefts occur each year per 1,000 residents.
Gluttony. The study looked at the U.S. Centers for Diseases Control's latest estimates of each city's obesity rate.
Greed. Nelson calculated Greed by using Philanthropy.com's figures of how much the average person in each locale gives to charity in a given year. The lower the percentage of disposable income donated, the higher the assumed greed.
Lust. The site ranked each community's Lust level by determining the number of strip clubs per capita advertised on Yelp.com.
Pride. Nelson measured Pride by calculating how many plastic surgeons each city has per capita, again based on Yelp.com listings.
Sloth. Movoto judged Sloth by looking at CDC estimates of each city's inactivity rate, the percent of a community's population that's not physically active.
Also...Envy is wrong (envy doesn't equal robbery....?)...and the Pride one should be "Vanity". This list sucks pretty bad.

Casino revenues.

I spent a year one night in St. Louis.

Now it's known for the Defiance show!

Just remember. St. Louis does it better than anybody.

That's a great possibility!

I wish I had thought of that.... ;-)

It's not quantity, it's quality.

I was kinda weirded out Minneapolis was so high up there. now Oakland, no Los Angeles!!! something isn't passing the smell test

One man's meat, is another man's poison....

Fun, but not a recipe for picking your next zip code!

Where is Chicago? My vision of Hades is there....

Probably too small to be considered?

Or since it is 86% government employees and/or politicians, the numbers were so far off of the charts to completely skew the original study....
