I Rest My Case

Here are the results of a recent study from Best Life. It rates the worst 10 cities in which to raise a family. All I have to say is that it looks like my evaluation of Beaumont is 100% correct.

10 Springfield, Missouri
9 Dayton, Ohio
8 Corpus Christi, Texas
7 Flint, Michigan — Country's highest violent-crime rate
6 Columbia, South Carolina
5 Waco, Texas
4 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
3 Fayetteville, North Carolina
2 Beaumont, Texas — Long-standing air-quality challenges
1 Clarksville, Tennessee — Low educational spending: $6,729 per student
