    3 of the top 10 Angry cities is in Florida, including Orlando at #1

    A study conducted by Men's Health magazine has found that Orlando, Fla., ranks No. 1 on a list of the angriest cities in the nation.
    Top 100: Angriest Cities


    "Orlando has never been a strategic military target, and yet the folks there are furious," the magazine said.
    The magazine looked at the percentage of men with high blood pressure, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and FBI rates for aggravated assaults, as well as workplace deaths from assaults and other violence.
    Those numbers were compiled by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

    Top 10 Angriest Cities


    1-Orlando, Fla.---------(I'd be pissed to if I spent my day at the Magic Kingdom and not Epcot!)
    2-St. Petersburg, Fla.
    3-Detroit
    4-Baltimore
    5-Nashville, Tenn.
    6-Wilmington, Del.
    7-Miami
    8-Memphis, Tenn.
    9-Jacksonville, Fla.
    10-St.Louis

    I just visited relatives in Clermont and Seminole and although I wouldn't classify them as "angry", they do have legitimate issues in the state that would be cause for consternation.
    Their problem (my cousin's a stockbroker, in-laws are retired) is not being able to get insurance for their houses or having to pay huge premiums to a State run Insurance Agency because many Insurers left the state after the hurricanes over the last two years left them in financial ruins.
    The articles I read in the St. Petersburg Times stated that the State run Insurer raised premiums 3-4 times their previous rates and told them to expect a similar rate increase next year.
    Condium purchases in St Pete went from 180 in July of last year to 33 in July of this year. My in-laws home is paid for but their insurance premium and taxes could eventually rival what they paid prior to paying off their home.

    It's difficult/impossible to broker a mortgage because, obviously, financial ins utions require insurance as a prequisite for a loan.

    I think there's a problem with the methodology. I've travelled to a lot of places and lived in DC for a few years. Washington DC is BY FAR the most pissed off city in the nation...and I'm not talking about politics....just ordinary citizens.
