Yeah, that's really funny. They use a list from some firm based in London that crunches numbers to determine if a city is livable. They don't actually have to go there, because of course, numbers don't lie.
Then they drop this in the article, prior to pointing out the "Fun" things to do in the city, none of which are based on having to actually live there.
Northeast Ohio's negative aspects – loss of jobs, loss of population, poor city schools – often obscure the fact that our community is rich with a variety of family-friendly gems.
So loss of Jobs, loss of Population & Poor city Schools are LESS important characteristics than seeing a baseball game, going to the park, listening to music, or dining out when it comes to determine quality of life?
Please.
