im sorry but this is stupid. cleveland is definitly not one of the safest citys! of course the city is streesed because it was a terrible unemployment rate as well as a lot of homeless people. Not to mention one of the worst ghettos in the united states. Cleveland is a dying city and everyone knows it. Maybe if the city put some of their profits into schools and repairing roads and broken down abandoned buildings housing the homeless. Then maybe it would be a nice place to live. But unless you live in a subberb outside of the cleveland area you arent liven too pretty.

All those deaths from stroke etc. are not because Cleveland is stressed, it is because Cleveland is fat! As for the other problems - those are in the ghetto. Normal people in Cleveland think it's a swell place to live.

"How did we get that?" Cleveland resident Billy Bass said. "How could you be stressed in a city as beautiful as Cleveland?"

Are you kidding?! Ok, I have all rights to say what I'm about to, I was born and raised in Cleveland and have alot family there still...but seriously?! Sure Cleveland has some amazing architecture and great draw when it comes to museums and things of that nature, clubs, etc...but has this guy even seen Cleveland lately? I know it says he lives there but he either lives in a nice part of Cleveland or has the wool so far over his eyes that he can't see clearly!

To put it bluntly, Cleveland has gone down the tubes so much since I was a child (I'm 29). My father was a police officer and a musician there, so I went everywhere around that city with him as a child and to see the condition of the city now is just horrible.

Cleveland as a whole is turning into a dump...maybe the Cleveland city officials should learn to handle their tax money a little better so they can bring the city back up to par...it has gotten to be a very dirty and rundown city and honestly, I don't really care to visit there. Even some of the suburbs are going the way of Cleveland...Parma definitely isn't what it used to be either.

Hopefully things will change because I miss the way it used to be...it still needed help back then but it was no comparison to what it needs now!
