America's Happiest and Most Depressed Cities

I feel like all cities win some and lose some, and most (like where I grew up) end up right in the middle all of the time.

True. In other words, many people seem to take surveys more seriously than they should.

I think the residents of the respective cities tend to take these things too much to heart. If you enjoy where you're living, great...just understand that your city may have a reputation (deserved or not) by those who don't live there.

For example, I love Boston, I really enjoyed living there for 7 years, and I would move back in a heartbeat if I could, but I understand there are some people who can't stand it there.

Except people in Camden, NJ...that place is terrible.
