No idea what the methodology is, but it seems really hard to believe that Lorain (no. 2) and Mansfield (no. 4) have more homeless people than Cincinnati, Columbus, Dayton, Toledo, and Akron.  But maybe I am just completely misunderstanding it.  

I'm surprised to not see San Francisco on the Time Out’s 50 best cities in the world in 2025 list.

 

10 major US cities with lowest rates of car ownership

Philadelephia (29.3%)

Baltimore (28.1%)

Chicago (26.6%)

Cleveland (22.1%)

That rating makes me unhappy. 

Better an F than a C-

 

Nowhere to go but up

Some of their categories are bizarre.   Is pot smoking a positive or a negative?

Right. Is that depressive "self-medicating" category or "hey we're having a party" category lol.  

Corporate Media at it again.  They always seem to cherry pick the "Darling" cities (Nashville, Austin, etc...) to give the best rankings, while places like Cleveland tend to be way down there.

I dunno, this seems very possible in today's Pay to Play environment.

I’ll break down the maim methodology for these studies. “Is your city majority white while also lacking viable public transit? Then you are in a much better position and much happier than those scary, diverse, and walkable places!” 

frankly I don't understand how some of these cities made it on this list. US News & World Report has lost all credibility 😅

Most (all?) of these lists are just clickbait.

okay, another stupid list (but true lol): Reader's Digest's Best Beach in Every State--Headlands for Ohio (but who knew there were beaches in Montana and North Dakota??)
