The Most Stressful Cities in America

[Rob Sullivan]

 

 

I am always interested in the methodology for lists such as these.  How do they define and quantify stress?  Also, note the inclusion of two Texas cities.  Surprised?

I definitely think Houston is stressful.  Everytime I travel there to visit my son, who lives in League City, I am forced to sit in traffic for a really long time.  The traffic is not just bad at peak times, but seems to be bad all the time.  The city has dive-bomb mosquitos and terrible humidity.  As the article emphasizes, housing is expensive in Houston as well.  I am not surprised that Houston made this list.  My personal preference would be to never live in Houston; no offense to any Houstonians intended.
