I know it isn’t a state, but you can’t have a worst place to live thread without mentioning Cleveland. I know some ppl who live there and I’ve never heard them say one good thing about that place besides the fact that they got to watch LeBron for most of his prime. I’ve been there like once when I was younger and yeah there’s nothing to do there lol
According to both online stats and the opinions of some acquaintances, Cleveland’s education system sucks big time, healthcare is subpar, crime rates are high, lots of poverty and unemployment, weather is terrible, zero tourism cuz there’s nothing to do or see there, population is decreasing rapidly since ppl move outta there the first chance they get, prevalent social segregation among certain races and classes, most houses there aren’t constructed well at all, hence the quality of life is poor and all their sports teams (which locals take very seriously) have stunk for ages.
Oh and let’s not forget that shocking case where those three innocent young girls were held captive in a sick mans house for like a decade until they all bravely escaped. I’ve followed that case a bit, and the Cleveland PD handled it quite poorly on multiple occasions during the decade those women were trapped in captivity
